How many cars driven by humans run over cats each day? Do these outraged people think robotaxis are somehow worse than human drivers? If the humans in the car didn’t see the cat, then it doesn’t matter if it was a robot or a human driving at the time.
Getting rid of the heat is going to be an issue for that… along with the massive pollution from the many launches required to get this in orbit.
It still is 100% centralized.
All “teams” or clubs are just franchise licenses. All players are actually employees of the league, not of the clubs themselves. The league can also dictate which clubs are allowed to sign which players. It’s kind of wild.
Holy fuck, I was only joking when I said crazy eyes. I had no idea I was actually talking to a genuinely crazy person.
How much, in your mind, would have been a sufficient budget to come to a conclusion that you trust?
In my mind, $3M is roughly $2.9M too much since I could see with my own non-crazy eyes what caused the collapse of the buildings.
I’m torn between upvoting the TIL part of this because it’s something I know a ton about, and downvoting OP for such a wildly stupid take of “LOL go work somewhere else, hurr durr.”
A) You only have to fill it out once every 5 or 10 years, depending on what level of clearance you are going for. And when you go back to fill it out again, nearly all of the stuff you filled out is unchanged.
B) It takes a few hours to do in order to be eligible for very high paying jobs.
C) You do realize, don’t you, that tons of private sector jobs ALSO require you to fill this out? Working at Lockheed or Boeing or Booze Allen Hamilton or Microsoft or Google or… you get the picture. Any company that does business with the federal gov will have jobs with the possibility of needing this.
D) Private sector jobs can also be impacted by the gov shutdown, since many of them are on contracts with the gov that don’t get paid when the contracting officer is furloughed.
EDIT: E) Private sector companies will pay a HUGE bonus to people who already have a TS clearance. Back in 2018-ish, Raytheon was paying a $50,000 sign-on bonus to new employees if they already had TS.
Your points are exactly why it is surprising. Most executives don’t think like me and you. If you give them a million dollars, they say they need 10 million. If you give them a billion dollars, they say they need 10 billion. There is no end to their greed. Look at how Google and Amazon are still trying to strong-arm their industries to get even more billions of dollars. Musk is out there demanding a trillion dollars.
CEOs and execs at large multinational corps like Intel don’t usually coast. They might make strategic blunders, but they usually push to make as much money as they can. If they fail, they fall back on their golden parachutes. If they win, they get shitloads more money.
What’s sort of incredibly about America’s Intel is that they haven’t done any of this shit, clinging to their dead-end chip design long after its expiration date and missing the boom in demand for high end chips entirely.
This is the most baffling thing to me. How could Intel leadership be so incompetent? They had the inside track to hundreds of billions in revenue and just decided to coast.
You should hit the gym more, just in case shit pops off.
My normal toilet lets me shit remotely. Who the hell has a toilet that only lets them shit at home?
As much as I advocate autonomous cars and have taken multiple Waymos in a couple cities, one limitation Waymos have is when there is a queuing situation like at dropoff/pickup areas. Whenever organized chaos is overcome by humans and nonverbal communication, Waymos just fall flat. Hotel valet areas, office building dropoff areas, narrow streets with parking on both sides when a work truck is parked to unload something, etc. Waymos just stop working.
Why would I want a device that I never use? I only make phone calls roughly 3 times per week. I message multiple times a day, but flip phones had shitty interfaces for typing. The vast majority of my phone use is web search, camera, navigation, and messaging. Flip phones could get better cameras than they used to have. Their screens were too small to do great at web searching. Navigation might work, I guess. Although I used to love my Treo and Pre for the full physical keyboard, I prefer swype typing now to tapping or physical keys.
I hate Google as much as the next guy, but their response is dead on. If millions of real people are marking the same thing as spam, then the algorithms are forced to identify that thing as spam.
"If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you’ll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.”
While I think this is pretty amazing science stuff, the writing is terrible. Here is the progression of the story as written:
They made butter from carbon…
Well, it’s actually made from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and oxygen…
OK, it’s actually made from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, and methane…
Well, no, it’s actually made from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, methane, and glycerol…
Wait, hang on, it’s actually made from carbon dioxide, hydrogen, oxygen, methane, glycerol, natural flavor, and lecithin…
Now, the source of glycerol is in question, because they say this butter is both animal and plant-free. Glycerol can be made synthetically, but it’s WAY more expensive to do it. Also, I’m not seeing any way to create lecithin without plants. They never say what the “natural flavor” is.
I’ve boycotted Amazon completely for 25 years, ever since their 1 click patent bullshit. It’s not that hard to do, but people are lazy and cheap.
The only thing that Intel leadership is a threat to is Intel.
It sounds weird, but it is more a technicality. Some cities have grown so much they consumed what used to be small towns outside their boundaries. Those small towns stayed independent entities. Examples are all over.
Your assessment is spot on.
If so, you’re not gonna have a lot of friends, which is a pretty shitty way to live.
Or you choose friends who will stay your friends even if you miss a concert???
How many human doctors are involved in the making of Old El Paso taco shells?
Now, conversely, how many veterinarians are involved in the designing and creation of one-size-fits-all food that is one-food-for-all-meals? Mars was already employing tons of vets to ensure their food would be both safe and have all the ingredients in a digestible form.
While I’m sure General Mills does employ human doctors to check for safety, they aren’t trying to create a one-food-for-all-meals solution.
