On the other hand Vision Pro's price will go down and quality will go up. Apple has the deep pockets to continue to invest until the technology really delivers at a mass market price. This wasn't really there for the labor intensi

Compared to numpy, octave has a nicer syntax for matrix math, but a bit idiosyncratic as a general language. It doesn't have anywhere near the ecosystem of Python/NumPy/SciPy. It is also nice in that there is a standard deve

On the other hand needing to sell yourself, and being judged on how well you present yourself seems very much a part of being human. I agree though that the "human capital" language and the formalized processes at some places is a

But if corporations are amoral, why shouldn't they pretend otherwise? It is to their benefit, and they are obliged to make decisions to their benefit regardless of moral considerations. If a company's job postings said "We a

I work in sawmill technology. Way back in history 2x4 were cut to 2" x 4". In a modern sawmill 2x4s are never cut to 2" x 4". They are cut to a thickness and width such that given saw deviation, and variable drying shr

I'd guess that this is similar to the Netherlands, where it is primarily a function of household debt, and many households having negative net housing equity. [ https://ec.europa.eu/info/sites/info/files&#

Any enthusiast message board would be unable to remove political offtopic material without losing section 230 protection. I don't really want to wade through a bunch of political ranting when I want to learn about the best graphics car

I would imagine Amazon is likely to be sued if they continue allowing Parler to remain on their cloud without dramatically improving moderation of violent and illegal content. Sure Amazon could probably fight such a suit and win, but why wo

It is an interesting questions. My feeling is if-then-else falls some where between invented and discovered, something like mathematics. Once we had discovered the need for conditional control flow, any decent assembly language programmers

I'm not sure how this stands up if you control for the the obvious selection bias. After all most people aren't going to switch jobs unless there is a substantial pay hike. Much of the data could be because people who are signifi

40 years of history showing failure, of course for most of that time they have had between a millionth and half the computing power we have today, and most of those years had now where near the capability of image sensors and other sensors.

While I think the articles most point is reasonable. The choice of stocks as an example is a poorly one. Because prices are reacting in large part to news. To the degree that the news presents something material and unsuspected it influe

In some cases it is reasonable to expect more. But, if other people are offering the same obvious solution for $25, then $25 is a reasonable reward, regardless of how much it saves the company. In which case expecting more than $25 is greed

Pinker wrote an interesting and thought provoking book. Certainly he is trying to make a point, and is a bit selective in the data and how he presents it. But this critique is not so much about the substance of the book, or any data that

By luck and skill you found a temporary systematic bias that other players missed. It was even luckier that you found it without a lot of upfront losses. But you could have made many attempts and not found any bias and overall lost money a

I don't believe they have a 99.999% SLA. That was their historical up-time. I just misread their statement. They probably meant the up-time before this incident. "Throughout our history, we have provided 99.999% uptime in our DNS infrastr

How can they claim 99.999% uptime, when they just had several hours of service outage? I'm not sure how long they've been providing DNS hosting, but by the most generous assumption this would be the entire 15 years of their existence. 99.9

I somewhat disagree. Rich is always relative. Having substantially more money than you need to live the lifestyle you want to live is rich by my standards.
