The vast majority of examples in the link are either presidents firing members of their own staff, or firing people for not doing their job well. A large number of Trump firings were because people were doing their job. >> Any Democra

Note my comment was in response to someone questioning the very notion of prizes for mathematics problems. These prizes were created over a quarter century ago.

Any you spent more time writing that comment than it would have taken to click the "SPICE" link next to that pony image logo, wait the ~1 second it takes to load, and read the first sentence which would have told you what it is.

"Top engineering school" probably makes a big difference. I too went to a top STEM school (Caltech). Most STEM classes were taught at a fast pace, and later classes assumed you knew the material from your early classes well. Occas

The article is about air pollution. Also, your last two paragraphs are completely bogus because you overlooked something important: scale. AI data centers are being built at a massively higher rate than data centers were being built a few y

Latinx actually is comparable to what Trump is doing. It is outsiders trying to force a word on a community that doesn't want it. Only about 4% of the US Hispanic population uses it, 75% say it should not be used, and half have never e

That's ridiculous. It is perfectly reasonable to live a normal life by the current standards of the world while advocating for political change that will change those standards to be better for the environment.

The God's Eye B system of BYD adds under $600 to the BoM. The 5 millimeter-wave radars and 12 ultrasonic sensors are $100-150. LiDAR is $150-200. The 12 cameras, control unit, and 300 TOPs of computing is $150-200. This computing is co

That's not really a useful comparison. First, our current city driving environments were designed for being used by humans, so take into account human strengths and weaknesses. Second, that kid has spent 16 years in such an environment
