It's indeed sad to see. Game networking techniques have been known for multiple decades and yet still haven't made their into any of the major publicly available engines (notably Unreal and Unity). What gives? As a game dev of 10+

We don't need any understanding of AI/ML in government to effectively regulate the autonomous vehicle industry. Design an appropriate set of tests, make companies run the gauntlet, only approve the ones that pass. The test criteri

I agree with your point that government regulation is fundamentally reactive to private sector innovation, hence lagging. That being said, this particular issue of autonomous driving has been a hot topic for the better part of a decade now

It's really quite sad that the regulation of autonomous vehicles been so slow to come along. Public roads are filled with other drivers, passengers, and pedestrians that did not consent to be a part of a large scale beta test for parti

Interesting factoid: the human brain processes sound faster that sight [1]. The difference cited in the paper below is roughly 40 ms, which is small in an absolute sense, but compared to the relative time tolerances we are discussing here i

This is an excellent answer and took the thoughts right out of my mind. To elaborate a bit for GP: No I would not have classified early stage Google or Facebook or Amazon as "perpetually unprofitable tech" because, frankly, they c

Apologies for some hastily chosen examples. I think the point still stands if you consider the following companies: WeWork, Lyft, Snapchat, Pinterest, Dropbox, Slack, Casper, Lime, Peloton, Beyond Meat, Wayfair, Zillow. More generally speak

There's some nuggets of truth in here, but I am disappointed that this article sidesteps what I feel is the most important reason for startup success in 2020: easy and abundant access to cheap capital. - Interest rates are at all time

You and GP are arguing two different things and are both right. GP's claim is that Tesla would not be profitable without regulatory credit sales: this is true. Tesla's profit for 2020 is $721M and its credit sales for 2020 are $1.

I too am skeptical (but happy to be proven wrong) about Honda's L3 claims. I think the "automaker optimism" is really just referring to Tesla loudly claiming they "will hit L5 this year" every year since 2015 while

They mention in the article that the smell is produced synthetically (presumably for this exact reason).

Please try refuting the ruling on its reasoning instead of peddling conspiracy theories.

Your claim relies entirely on the veracity of Tesla's safety report. Unfortunately I am inclined to mistrust any such vehicle safety claims directly from Tesla's own website. There is a conflict of interest in that they are incent

As with most investing questions, keep in mind that the instrument (i.e. the way you place your specific bet) matters just as much as the actual sector. Crypto, marijuana, self-driving, take your pick: you could totally nail the sector choi

You could try A/B testing the demand for 2 different products / websites with Facebook ads. You'll need: - A small amount of money for the ad campaign itself (e.g. $50-$100) - A compelling image (buy a stock photo, or

This is great. A no-nonsense, modern take on healthy nutrition. It's simple (no more food groups, portions, etc.), and actually healthy (e.g. not catering to the dairy industry with a daily glass of milk recommendation, pizza is not a

As a native French speaker from Quebec, I can tell you it's much more common in France, so if you went to school in North America that might explain it.

Good point on the 20-20-20 rule. There's an add-on for Firefox which I use for this below [1]. It launches a (rather invasive) fullscreen popup reminder every 20 minutes. Far from perfect, but better than using a loud timer or relying

My apologies: turns out the delay is only in Canada for TSE listed stocks and does not apply to US exchanges such as NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.

I agree with the spirit of your post ("make sure you actually want what you say you want"). But I wouldn't go so far as to say that you need to swear off relationships. Anecdotally, I (M) have found someone (F) who is just as

I can't speak for the mods, but I for one am in favour of highlighting the revenue numbers, provided they're accurate. And on a meta-point, I appreciate the effort, honesty and transparency you put into IndieHackers, it's a

FWIW, I've deliberately kept my Nexus 5 on Android 4.4.4 and it runs as well as the first day I bought it 2.5 years ago. Multi-day battery life, no compatibility issues (because no OS updates), all the latest apps still run on it, etc.
