If the IQ of the children is similar to the parents, how are people with high IQ born? Are they abnormalities? Also from what I gather on the whole the average IQ of the world is increasing, how is that explained?

Yeah not sure, I thought the article used the word girl and so I used it, but looking back, I don’t know where I saw it. It did feel weird using it

I don't get why employees leak like this. They know full well that the company does not want to reveal info and the employees are told not to leak too. I don't get what they get by leaking. In this case the girl is not even gettin

Voice has to be the low hanging fruit. Even if the article is not credible, I am sure we will ramp up towards this sooner than we expect

If the board is just looking at stock and shareholder returns, they are doing a disservice to google. The company is at a critical juncture, it has matured and no longer that young/hip company it used to be. Employee morale is low, GCP

Feels to me that Airbnb peaked probably around the time they went public. It’s now just another thing to check while booking accommodations on a trip. Not sure if folks here feel that way or not

Oh no! I have a lot of respect for Wozniak. Now I have to watch musk call him all kinds of names. I shudder to imagine how nasty and petty musk will get.

Weird part about this whole thing is, we have been repeatedly told that banks are good and they learned a lesson in 08. Now both tech and banking are in trouble again.

How does one decide whether 1 bank for every 77k people is a good thing or bad? What metrics go into such an evaluation? It feels to me that banks can be a bit bigger to reduce risk given the global nature of markets these days.

Wait, are you saying Uber compensates for the drive to the pick up location? Doesn’t make any sense, if there are enough drivers the algorithm should automatically pick the closest. Even then isn’t it the expectation that the driver ears th

Why do Lyft and Uber incur so much costs when they operate on a global scale? Forget global, let's take just the US, if Uber is the default ride app across the US, the cost to create the app, run the service should reduce drastically o

Feels like these large models are the pinnacle of ML. These will be built for various sensors/inputs and verticals. Then what? Can we go another level up with the tech we have?

If the elite universities are getting this much in funding and have an almost infinite amount of reserves, why don’t they just make the school free to attend? It makes so much sense, creates enormous good will and increases competition ther

They screwed up by defrauding the investors, I don't think they would have gotten caught if they simply stuck to defrauding their clients. I would ask the community here how common this kind of fraud is. Do companies inflate their ad d

I fully expect this in India. There is no privacy in India and no education or awareness of it either. There are no laws and so no expectations either. I don’t if it’s still prevalent but I know friends who had folks from some company knock

Obviously they entered into an exclusive partnership like this with Google after a lot of thought. I cannot imagine what google gave them for that. The main question for me is, how is it benefitting Google? Does GM sell that many cars? Do t

Isn't that the point of CarPlay and android auto? You don't have to rely on auto manufacturers to design the UI/UX for that screen and don't depend on the their OTA updates either.

Folks here who used scratch with their kids, what is the next step after scratch? How did you introduce a language/platform to your kid? I have introduced python and my kid is able to pick it up, but am unable to come up with projects

The way I see it, VR is no different than what 3D was to TVs. Yeah, sure it's cool once in a while, but I don't want to spend time in it or put something on my head every single time I want to do something. It's impossible to

I can see some folks jumping in as they wanted to time the market hoping the bottom is reached. However a 10-12% increase is weird. The west is probably just directly dependent on the tech market which is down right now. Does it mean the Ea

When fed started raising interest rates to curb inflation, the prevalent wisdom was that the average consumer has too much money because of low rates and is spending way too much. The thought was raising rates would curb their spending and

It looks like the tech industry is cutting or has already cut about 150k jobs at this point. Is there really that much elasticity built into the features these companies are building? 30k is a really large number of employees to cut anywher

Well, looking back, would they have been better off had they built a phone? Tough to say, Mark doesn’t know how to build a device. However may be he could have made the device free in exchange for reaping all of user’s data. May be not. It

This sounds really bizarre to me. A company hiring to hoard talent is just mind-blowing. If they have surplus money, they should just acquire smaller companies and find talent. I really hope this is not a company wide culture promoted by th

Who gets this penalty? The FTC? Why do these penalties always end up as a fine for the company? They should also be forced to simply go and refund the amount they overcharged at least and preferably add a multiple too.
