My guess is the DoD/USGov is going to be opposed to any transfer of any ai/ml technology to China. I tend to think that most ai/ml news is hyped and highly speculative, but if the leadership in the US is not sophisticated eno

That was always the flaw in the multi-national company concept. Even if you are completely in the cloud your people still have to live somewhere and perhaps more importantly, your money has to sit in some country somewhere. And Switzerland

If you read that review in Malcolm Gladwell's voice it completely works.

It's like 10-20 minutes slower. That's not even including travelling to the station.

How so? I can drive to NYC from Boston, that's a little slower then the acela, but then I am not bound to the train schedule. It's more convenient to me. I'd like to see high speed trains, but it's never going to happen

I'm always amazed when the T shuts down a line in Boston because trash on the track has caught on fire. We are talking a subway system that doesn't run trains from 1am to 5am and they can't even afford to hire cleaners.

The article and headline is about people "flooding into" mexico for dental care. The photo with the article shows people trying to get into the us. There isn't traffic or a wait going into mexico. It was an editorial choice t

Ok that makes slightly more sense, but I don't see how this could be very common. Or at least common enough to require a person to man the door.

This is a strange article. The first book discussed, Baba Yaga, isn't even Soviet, it was published in France by an organization that could be described as anti-soviet if you look at it's history. The second book, is claimed to be

Even rivers can change, making the borders delineated that way less unchanging then they would seem.

When one party is funded by the public service unions, and they are in power, what do you think is going to happen.
