I’m suspicious of the bacronym REST. Was it created to push the idea? I’d rather they coined a neutral acronym. This one reeks of marketing.

I want to be empathetic to both sides of the argument. Don’t 1099 workers have preferential tax treatments? Why would you give that up and become W2? On the other hand, health insurance is a safety net. I feel like we need a new system wher

The Teozacoalco map strikes me as created by someone who understood the idea of a round Earth. Notice the orientation of the drawn characters on the surface. Did they have this notion already? Certainly the ship navigators would have.

I wonder if a calculation similar to the h-index measure could be used rather than giving each submitted paper equal weight.

I’m nowhere near this field, but for the experts in here I was wondering if Self-Supervised Learning changes the paradigm for the approach to self-driving cars?

You’ve taken my response to another degree, but I wholeheartedly do not disagree with you. In fact I admire it. I think you want to remind us that we as humans are horrible when given power, irrespective of title.

I wonder, of civilizations that have lasted the longest, which ones had kings, queens, emperors and such versus the opposite?
