"Women are genetically inferior to men" is not political view, and as an opinion it creates a hostile work environment.

My personal feeling is that art must at least attempt two things simultaneously: express an intent by the artist, and present an intent to the audience. The success and congruency of these intents is largely superficial, but in my opinion t

One great way to handle editing of complex shapes that use 90° extrema is to lean into Tunni lines[0] as a manipulation tool. Unfortunately these aren't present in Illustrator either, as far as I know, and is yet another reason why Ill

I believe a robo-picker would not mistake the clearly coded cucumber for zucchini, nor would the well-trained AI allow non-ideal produce into the sorting bins. No need to worry.

At what point (BTC-USD price) does the mining mini-industry start becoming unprofitable? With the large scale investments in massive climate-controlled datacenters crammed with ASICs anchoring the world's biggest mining pools, there mu

I've heard there are signs in the elevators imploring employees to stay past 4 o'clock and enjoy the downtown amenities because everyone leaves at 4 and the downtown congestion gets pretty bad. I know engineers at Amazon, many o

I don't personally think it will be that cyclic. There is so much more invested this time around, so many more people standing to lose so much more money, such a brighter light on the cryptocurrency world now. A devastating loss (e.g.

Of the 103 coins currently trading on Bitfinex[0], the exchange most likely to be full of users who need this kind of coin, I don't see TrueCoin listed. Am I missing it, or has TrueCoin not been added to Bitfinex? 0. https://

I think the main trouble is centered directly on Bitfinex, the exchange that mints Tether. According to Bitcointy's charts[0], Bitfinex trading volume over the past 30 days is roughly 1.59M BTC as of this post – that equates to over 30

Lots of people still ski for leisure, or for the exercise, or just to enjoy the splendor of the great outdoors. If this is the kind of skiing you enjoy, I would say just pick a pretty mountain and contain yourself to the green runs and you

I'm the opposite. I try and get every meeting possible in before lunch time, then I eat, and then I work until I have to go home. If I were a manager, I'd probably have less control over this... but if someone asks to meet with me

Your comment intrigued me, so I found this article: https://www.recode.net/2018/1/21/16913984/what-does-photos-a... I don't think there can be any floor sensors there. There may be inventory-countin

They also have this at most (all?) Apple stores in the US. You can scan and pay with the Apple Store app on your device and walk out, no fuss. It did feel amazing the first time I did it. However, the Amazon Go solution is even more seamles

Seems the scale of the store, the controlled supply of product, and the quality of tracking can essentially undermine most exploit vectors. Perhaps in a larger store, or perhaps with more crowds or variance in product... but as it stands, t

You need an Amazon account just to get in the door. I imagine the group of people with Amazon accounts and without cellphones is small enough to ignore.

I agree, this feels and reads like an ad. Also, the word "Amazon" appears zero times and this is an article about voice assistants.

This is almost exactly the same philosophical discussion as "if a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?", except with politics mixed in for extra spice.

Hm. I have always thought of Seattle and Denver having equally blue-leaning, outdoorsy, marijuana-legalizing, progressively-led cities. What are the cultural differences between them that you're thinking of?

The trend of 15-20% swings is well documented in Bitcoin history, no doubts about that. Crypto is a young economy in general, and it's been thrilling for me (on the outside, as I don't speculate or hold) to watch. But I don't
