Why is management hiring people who turn out to be "dead weight"? Particularly with the ludicrous interview cycle employed by big tech companies these days? It's a failure of management to hire correctly and/or manage a

I'm also noticing a lot of comments that boil down to "but it's not smarter than the smartest human". What about the bottom 80% of society, in terms of intelligence or knowledge?

How can any sane person watch this video and say her behavior was "abhorrent?" I'm talking about the behavior that led to the protection order. She's trying to play the "thought crime" angle in order to get t

it was just a statement of what the researchers did, but with a sneer. Are you talking about me? There was no sneer. Stop projecting nonsense onto me. The very broad claim made in the title is not really supported by the limited resea

How many forests have you surveyed over the past 15 years? What's the point of this question? I can't be skeptical unless I've personally conducted the same research? The tricky thing about science is that it only gets do

Five times between 2007 and 2022, researchers surveyed the insects in three forested areas in the Oconee National Forest in northern Georgia. That's it? Just one forest in a single US state?

There should be an additional licensing requirement for any vehicle over 5,000 pounds, with stiffer penalties and restrictions. Like commercial-lite. For context, the Ford F-150 is 4,021 to 5,740 lbs, and the F250 is 5,677 to 7,538 lbs. (

Since it mentions the infamous interview challenge, I'll ask: has anyone ever "inverted" (i.e. swapped left and right recursively) a binary tree in production code? I can't think of any reason why anyone would ever do t

I have to replace the shoes on my rear brakes about 10 times more often than my front brakes. That just means that you brake with your rear the most. I'm talking about maximizing braking potential. I've been riding motorcycles

The rear brake is very important for initial braking, in order to transfer weight to the front, which allows harder braking without locking up the front tire. When you initially hit the brakes, your braking potential is split around 50:50.
