I don't believe there's any studies on that. The virus was only discovered at the beginning of December. Most likely they are referencing this study showing 40% of people who had SARS had long lasting effects https://ja

I've worked remotely for 8 years. It's more different than people think. IMO the entire way your team operates needs to be centered around them being remote. The worst is hybrid teams where they are half remote and half in office.

It just reads like an anti-Chinese propaganda piece. Don't get me wrong, I think a lot of Chinese people are very disenfranchised by their government. But a lot of them love it too. But western media always focuses on those that dislik

Kinda the point though. Granted I was married slightly before Tinder became big but from my reading it seems like the biggest issue with these apps is bots. Making people jump through a hop bots can't fixes that problem.

FCC already has a good solution proposed that will probably be implemented in the next several years. Put transponders on all drones that must be registered. Then it's easy to track and ID anyone legally flying. And anything large&#x2F

AI and autonomous vehicles don't relate. Driving a vehicle is not an AI problem and none of the serious autonomous vehicle teams are using AI. Unless you are using a super loose definition of AI that includes anything with an if statem

Hackers could hijack a missile and kill a lot of people too. This is why we have security. And honestly modern cars are so computerized already I think your argument applies to them as much as autonomous cars.

I'm a huge believer in the "expert product manager" route. Meaning have one person who talks to all the stakeholders and every type of user. Who just knows your product backwards and forwards. And thus can drive what changes

Yeah. For investing so much time and money it seems like he gave up after a couple of bad meetings. It takes years to figure out how to properly sell your product. He didn't find out that his product wouldn't work in the marketpla

Absolutely. A/B testing causes way more bad decisions than good ones because people run the tests wrong and they interpret the data wrong. But I've found explaining that to people to be an uphill battle. They get sold on an "

Worst than that. Google only seems interested in huge successes. Things like Google Reader had healthy user bases when Google came for them in the night. They could even sell most of the products they murder to someone else for millions.

My understanding is not that at all. From what I've read the engines that were the whole point of the plan just didn't work physics wise because they were too big for the 737 frame that their required placement moved the center of

Physical location is not really relevant to who owns a node. Most countries allow anyone to setup a company and operate servers. Any government organization with a small amount of resources can setup a front company and turn on a server.

Beyond that there's a fundamental issue that app store monopolies should be illegal. All marketplaces need competition. Apple doesn't have the right to choose what I get to install on my phone.

This is not accurate at all. If you want to make an American analogy, it's more like if Puerto Rico wanted independence from the US. Because the US kept violating it's citizens human rights. That said Hong Kong is a fairly unique

I can't wait until String Theory dies. As a couch scientist it seems to very clearly be a dead end. They keep massaging it to make it fit any new objective discoveries but an accurate theory matches new data, it doesn't need to be

Shouldn't a code review have caught it? Also seems like you could test against an image. And then do a diff on the entire image to catch unexpected deviations like that.

Just being government run is just one ingredient in a successful prison system. Next you need to find good people that strongly want to accomplish the organization's goals. And who are smart enough to actually do that. And you need to

This is just a PR post by Uber. Don't take any of it as fact. No one knows the true impact of this. Companies will find lots of interesting ways to follow the letter of the law but not the spirit of it. As they always do. If you really

Sure but the comparison isn't about that. It's about that everything that 99% of people need the Corolla does. So, there's no motivator to spend money on the better car for most people.

For profit companies should not choose sides. Google's only discussion of politics in the workplace should be on how to make their systems be as unbiased as possible.

These specific cases, no. But I used to work for a company that made solar components and fires were our biggest fear. The most likely issue is incorrect design or installation due to the complications of DC power. This article goes into de
