Most of Boston Robotics' products are at least a decade away from being cheaper than humans for anything but the most trivial of tasks. BR requires a lot more investment before they can become a worthwhile purchase.

I had not considered the proliferation of terrible open-source code on GitHub. I'd wager that the amount of code in public repositories from students learning to code may outweigh quality code in GitHub. I wonder if there was any sort

Sure, I will ask my friend if he wants to write a sworn affidavit and have it notarised. But until then you're just going to have to trust that there are hundreds of people who witnessed Spacey's behaviour.

It’s not just food education. If you’re poor in the US you’re much less likely to live near a source of fresh meat and produce, which makes calorie-rich fast food more tempting. You’re more at the mercy of many multi-billion-dollar industri

StackOverflow is great when you don’t know where to start looking for a solution. Whenever I’m in a new domain I’ll spend a lot of time on SO, spending less time there as I get more comfortable. Put another way, I spend 100% less time in hi

> 20 years ago one could assume 1024x800 and it would mostly work. IE 5 and 6 and Netscape Navigator 4 would all beg to differ. Having made simple websites two decades apart, CSS is much less hassle nowadays.

Customer needs for most websites basically haven't changed in two decades. Outside of a few complex SPAs doing interesting things, structurally we're building the same things we were building back then (blogs, brochure sites etc)

You have them in theory — you can use generic concepts to model operations — but that dynamism also allows you to break any generic model that might exist. For example I might say that a function takes a parameter of type "Traversable&

The inventor listed on this patent left Spotify four years ago, and it clearly hasn't made it into any products released in the meantime. Not sure it's worth getting riled up about a patent filing — it could just be something the

I think there are times where "steal" is appropriate — where the code is in some sort of silo, and someone exfiltrates it. Anthony Levandowski was charged with theft of trade secrets for making a copy of Waymo's code.

“Stole” is doing a lot of work here. They copied strictly-licensed open-source code, violating the terms of the license in the process.
