I’m not particularly superstitious, but getting on a “Bye” airplane still seems a bit like asking for it. More seriously though, the claimed cruise speed looks competitive, but a 500nm range is a serious deficiency in this class of aircraft

Aren't most industry awards really bought and paid for? Like the stuff they give out at conferences and from trade magazines.

One reference point: my home built Ryzen 3700x machine gets almost exactly 100,000 points less than the system they tested.

The peak of tech excitement in my entire life was when a friend brought a copy of Computer Shopper to school, and the cover proclaimed a new 90Mhz 486!! No other tech ever blew my mind like that again.

You do want Google to be able to continue paying $200K+ to fresh college grads, don't you? Or do you want them starving in the streets, you heartless barbarian?

People wonder off the marked trails, get disoriented, go further away from the trails. Next thing you know they’re missing for days. The problem is that the more inexperienced someone is, the more likely such a scenario is to happen.

I'm rather disappointed PG would think that the Forbes wealth list could support any kind of conclusion whatsoever. One of the biggest reasons that the top of the list is filled with tech billionaires is that their wealth is relatively

True to an extent, but don’t forget that for quite a while Chrome was genuinely far ahead in technology, so the number of people who liked Firefox was dropping rather precipitously. They probably felt immense pressure to come up with ways t

I agree with most of what you say in a general sense, but the OP seemed to believe that the high tax rate for the neighborhood in question was a deliberate strategy employed by the residents themselves, presumably in order to stand out from

I would surmise that the talent knew better than anyone how over-hyped and overly optimistic full self-driving was (is), and what huge challenges still remain. Talent take the best deal for themselves while the getting is good. By the time

This seems tangential to the NYT article, which is specifically calling out differences in the assessed values of the same type of assets as a function of their actual market value. Particularly they’re comparing houses that are often ass

That seems like a terribly inefficient way of achieving exclusivity, if that’s the goal. If the neighborhood is indeed more desirable, wouldn’t the higher value of the houses themselves (which would also result in higher prop taxes anyway)

The advancements in AI tend to happen in intermittent large leaps, but people tend to make linear projections based on the most recent leap. That’s why there’s always a big hype cycle followed by disillusionment and some sort of AI winter.

A lot of the races last year were made more exciting by weather and COVID-related uncertainty. When the weather is nice and traction is good, the racing can often become a parade, at least at the front. I personally think F1 should only rac

Exactly. And the great majority of their cars are now sold with automatic (PDK) transmissions. The manual isn’t even offered on the base 911 anymore. Sales have not suffered.

There are already threads on Porsche forums saying don’t drag race against Model 3s. When the 911 starts getting spanked by every other electric Honda off the line, you’ll hear their customers change the tune.

This is the gaming industry we're talking about here. I wouldn't have been surprised at "a box of swag" level of compensation. Although given what's en vogue right now, maybe some NFTs would've been more likely

Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and several other countries all have 5th gen/stealth fighters under development. Most at least look to have been heavily “inspired” by the F-35/F-22. These new fighters are all quite costly for thei

Is it better for the prospect of peace if the U.S. and its adversaries all have large fleets of cheap warplanes or small fleets of expensive ones? I would argue that the F-35 is not only very expensive for the U.S., but has actually increas

A pretty polished delivery mechanism, including native M1 binary, with no payload. Sounds like R&D in preparation for a real deployment, or possibly a demo for a package that will be sold to third parties.
