I know someone who was doing the equivalent of the bartending thing. Her grandfather was loaded and all major expenses taken care of. She kept it quiet but would give coworkers a ton of shit for general life things that she didn’t have to w

It’s based on what the OP said which was pretty shitty.

Because you’re not just buying a car, you’re buying into the company that makes the car. You need a company that’s going to be around to do recalls, repairs, parts, service the warranty. It supports your continuing to operate the vehicle an

So the way I'm reading the post is Tesla swapped out a battery pack for a 60 with a 90 and enabled the 90. Tesla, years later, discovers that even though the hardware for a 90 was installed it should have been software limited to be a

I've always felt like there was something wrong with how outliers were framed, as though they were wrong, errors, illegitimate, mistakes, noise, etc. They are just, possibly, points from some other process than the one you're inte

This question reminded me of a show that I used to love watching, Connections with James Burke. I'm sure there are aspects that it is missing but it's a very well told story of what needed to come together for the invention of the

“Just want to get paid for doing as little as possible” Ya, no kidding and the employer wants to get as much as they can while paying as little as possible. That’s how it works. It’s Econ 101. Hiring employees is like buying fruit. You don’

Why do anything then? It's a very nihilistic attitude and a very narrow conception of what "smart" is. How do you even begin to compare? How can you say that one author is smarter than another and why use some abstract metric

How are you going to test the gas to make sure they delivered refrigerant and not just a cheap bottle of propane or other gas. How does the agency issuing the carbon credits verify that you were in possession of the refrigerant and it was i

Right, not semantic web technologies and not very often used. Before someone jumps in with, "but it's used at....", I'm not saying people aren't using it but in the grand scheme they are extremely niche products.

That so beautifully captures the attitude of the semantic web community, "What people miss...". Didn't miss anything. It's this attitude, that the problem isn't with what's been done, it's that other peopl

Perhaps use two stacked meshes and allow it to create a moiré pattern. I'd imagine that would be fairly unique and difficult to reproduce.

That's hilarious that they're so out of touch that the JSON-LD and SHACL people are the realists. JSON-LD is ridiculous and a desperate attempt to attach semantic web technology to something that is actually used. It was announced

I think a lot of the criticisms of Java are motivated by developers trying to get paid for what they do. If you can jump to a new language while casting the old language as old, inefficient, etc you can, at least temporarily, command higher

The thing is "classic old-fashioned" isn't something that is somehow timeless and is somehow outside of fashion trends. It's right in the name. It was fashionable but now it's old, old-fashioned. You can throw the &

I was going to add something about improvisation and jazz. While it’s not planned out you wouldn’t describe them as “not knowing what they’re doing” nor are they just blindly mashing the keys. They’re feeling their way through a dynamic sit

I'm going to go with "Not everything is designed, or planned. Sometimes the result is just the sum of a bunch of not necessarily coordinated decisions." Some people know a lot about what they are doing and are highly skilled.

It’s a lack of transparency. A CEO has a very different set of motivations than an employee. Just like saying they are telling you they are an employee chances you perspective on what that have to say so would telling you they’re the CEO.

What a wonderful example of corporate life. This is the type of carefully crafted political office bs I hate, from the double speak to the use of unnecessary exclamation points. Right out of the gate it starts with what they want you to do,

This makes very little sense. How exactly does water cooling contribute to power efficiency? Once you get that heat off the chip it has to go somewhere and what is the complexity of running water cooling hoses all over the datacenter. How e
