What if you and everyone replying here get a paid version or just use Google Meet? I don’t understand why all the negativity comes out when a company decides to stop subsidizing all the engineering, bandwidth, storage, servers, .. costs tha

Take olympic athletes. There are differences not only in the level of work but also physiologically between those who win gold medals and those who can't be olympic athletes. If you're a would-be gold medalist why isn't it po

That's my point, can someone in that group instead of devoting more time than the average to their academic work take that extra time and devote it to their job?

Take the top 1% of successful phd students. Does your statement apply equally to them? What about the 0.01%?

What about working harder than your peers? If you're 2x harder working than the avg phd student shouldn't you be able to dedicate half or a third of that time to work and still finish the phd in 5 years?

Computational physics might be a nice intersection.

I did a masters in physics when I was 24 and thought not getting paid a meaningful sum of money was incredibly frustrating. If my two remaining brain cells still function at 84 I'll certainly take on a PhD program.

Not using brakes when car is approaching a red traffic light is failing at a basic function. Being distracted by text messages, phone, etc. is not.

Hope you don't employ sensationalistic style in your journalism and try to have an in depth story based on the debate here on HN.

So sad that the average non-Tesla driver is not as enthusiastic about latest technology as not to broadcast their driving journeys on YouTube for the rest of the world to criticize and make fun of the shady dumpster fire of a manufacturer t

It's probably safe to assume that if she were going to do that she would have done that the first she got into this type of high speed accident.

The moment you use Autopilot it's evident that it's basically a fancy cruise control. You're assuming some people would not interfere with Autopilot in any scenario. To think somehow people with that much lack of common sense

It's so odd that in stories like this people don't even ask this simple question: did you try to brake? It's usually conveniently omitted from the story.

There are several cameras for redundancy. The car also doesn't need crystal clear vision to drive. What may seem like a blurry image to human eye with simple filtering can become much more visible. It also doesn't need to see deta

I'm not sure what you think Autopilot is. It's basically adaptive cruise control which almost all new cars have. As shocking as this may sound like the onus is on the driver to avoid a high speed collision when approaching a stopp

Google can access any site without being blocked. They dominate the search space and give little incentive for site owners to allow other bots. I'd say bypassing these measures is fair game while there is a monopoly in search space. We

I'd make it less transactional and more realtime. No http request, tcp packets instead more like old tv broadcasts where there is a continuous signal always being sent. If it was possible to have infinite radio frequencies to use. Then

Completely agree. It's a textbook example of hindsight bias when people cannot "unsee" the currently accepted theory deemed to be "true" and fail to imagine that people in the past thought just like them before the

Quantum Mechanics most likely is not the true explanation of what is going on either, but it sure as hell accounts for a lot of it and is why we have modern computers.

The best way is just to think about the website right now in your head. In the future we'll probably have technology that can scan the wave patterns emitted from our brains 500 years ago and restore your thoughts including the website

This ties closely to plausible deniability. I seriously think this field is under developed and more people need to learn from an early age how the most plausible sounding explanation is not always, and maybe in certain fields even often ,
