See the bigger picture here: this is a white swan event that can finally raise unemployment, bring wages down and lower inflation and will cause the fed to finally stop raising interest rates. Yes it sucks for the VC/startup folks but

These trucks can all be charged with 240V whereas the Tesla semi requires a 1000V (mega charger) which isn't available anywhere yet. So these trucks are all contending with being far more practical.

Before airBNB I used to rent cabins quite often on the California coast where you would probably spend $350-$500 for a weekend. That amount right now is just the cleaning fee. Maybe better for owners and airBNB to have fewer guests who pay

Visual-vestibular conflict (the main cause of VR sickness) can either be caused by lag (stationary) or vection, i.e., the illusion of movement while locomoting.

I was going to comment that Steve Jobs would be turning in his grave if he would hear about this, but unfortunately Apple was already the money grabbing company today that it was back then as well.

Don't do it!!!! Based on my personal experiences, you will regret this. I was a tenure track faculty, got tenure, then I also go the industry itch. Fortunately was given the opportunity to to spend my sabbatical at Google Research, whi

Best paper awards correlated to highest subjective rankings of CS departments? No surprise here. like I said earlier these best paper awards are really an Ivy League circle jerk which is also evident based on that the top schools only hire

In The Netherlands which is the biking Mecca of the world, last year more than 400,000 e-bikes were sold. It helps that the cities hundreds of years ago were designed for horses and not for cars. Notably a lot of elderly use e-bikes which n

With low federal funding rates and every CS Department having doubled in size it is barely possible to do research IN academia. You spend nearly most of your time writing grants that don’t get funded. The little federal funding that is avai
