You're telling people not to listen to Ford PR, and instead pointing them to a podcast by a higher-up at Tesla with a very clear bias and incentive to talk shit about competitors? Dude... Waymo can scale as fast as they want to via pa

There are so many cherry picked data points and unfounded assumptions in this article it's hard to even pick where to start rebutting it. I'll just pick the most obvious one: if you limit your data set of companies to tech, of co

I have hired data scientists, but not in the last two years. I agree that 90% of the work is building a good pipeline and identifying + cleaning data, but disagree that example code is a good way to evaluate either of those skills. I&#x27

I'm curious why you want a Data Scientist to show you a portfolio of code rather than a portfolio of data projects & outcomes. The code seems pretty secondary unless you're in a some specific field looking for code-based solu

Can anyone with experience in a warehouse environment comment on the need for this robot to pick up boxes from the top? When I used to pack and ship things for my small business I always lifted heavier boxes from the bottom. The suction c

There's a very big difference between having worked 2-3 years in industry and actually being an experienced expert in that industry. The latter usually takes a minimum of 5 years in my opinion. Also note the industry most MBA student

For context, I work in the industry. There are effectively two major use cases for which 5G makes sense: teleoperator backup, and V2X. The former is for Level 4 vehicles that might get into situations requiring a human to take over (ex. tr

It varies by school, but here's the list for Wharton [1]. In general, it's a lot of consulting and finance followed by various types of roles at Fortune 500 companies. Plenty go to FAANG as well, though. [1] https://p

This is demonstrably false if you look at property price trends across the US rather than just at the top cities.

Keep in mind there's a hidden gotcha with bond funds like vwalx in that the price of bonds changes over time roughly correlated with expected inflation. If you've been paying attention to vwalx and other bonds over the last month

If your property value doubles and you lose your job, why wouldn't you sell your property for a massive gain, take that money and buy a new house somewhere cheaper, thereby avoiding the tax issue entirely? Seems like a situation where

I measured this previously on a Kill-a-Watt with a Prusa clona (Monoprice Maker Select v2). Heat-up sequence draws between 120-130W (heating both bed and hotend at the same time). Once at temp for PLA, it only draws around 80-90 average d

You’re using local price factors when BLS is looking at National ones. Outside California, things are quite different. For example, see [1]. In general, just assume that California doesn’t reflect the broader US on basically any measure. [1

Going into orbit first would require a significant amount of extra fuel to decelerate and circularize. Heading straight into the atmosphere means more mass can go into the rovers instead of into fuel. It's a trade-off.

Yes and no. With physical products, it's usually non-linear due to economies of scale. The more you make, the cheaper the unit cost gets. But there are often other challenges with scale, like distribution and large capital injection
