What is the “current” scientifically approved and unbiased understanding about the negative effects of the COVID vaccines? There seems to be a lot of information, misinformation, conspiracy theories, and information hiding at least in the p

“Present in the US” also has caveats at the border. A border is defined specifically in the law, which is 100 miles. A citizen of another country is not allowed to open carry at the border just because they showed up, for example. Similarly

This is incorrect. There is specific distinction between citizens and persons. Habeas Corpus applies to persons. But there is no right that applies to every person in the world that would give them a right to get a student visa to a US univ

Who is using Rackspace Cloud today and why? I am not talking of managed services, but infrastructure services. This feels like a Japanese soldier in the jungle still shooting left over ammo after the war has been over for more than 10 years

This is fascinating. For a lay person, what is a good book to understand this? Or blog? Edit: found this below to start https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_radio_burst#FRB_220610

This isn’t what “life was like for someone born in the early 1950s.” This is what life was like for privileged white men born in the early 1950s.

Given how much you liked hanging with ants, I recommend you try spiders in a garden. Look for a spider web where one is hanging, toss a small piece of debris that breaks a little of the web, and watch in awe how they repair it.

As an ignorant person but one who has been trying to figure out if KGs are superseded by LLMs, is there a source you can think of to figure out if both have a place in an architecture, or if LLMs are sufficient? What sort of use cases requi

I think the point is that the scale of requirement intake that came into AWS from the website is orders of magnitude more than whatever level of dogfooding that Azure might undergo from internal solutions. Not that they don’t dogfood at all

This is an industry where cost will be an issue. It reminds me of Rackspace and others trying to win with OpenStack “because open.” AWS and Azure won. Even Google is third. The big players will win, and there will be a niche for open tools.

Well, but Person B was compensated for her time. If you hired me to build your house for $100k, and you paid me, and then you sold the house, making a profit of $300k, would you give me $150k? Likely not. I think a better argument is below
