Are you using it? I genuinely don't understand how people who are experimenting with the tool can feel this way

This is maybe kind of rude, and hopefully it doesn't come off this way, but where were you still getting the message that degree = job? Not that a degree doesn't help, but I graduated 10 years ago and the message was already pre

~Or Apple could remove Google Search as a choice on Safari It could remove Google as a choice for users of safari? That seems like an insane thing to present as an approach apple might take. They could stop making it the default, but I th

That's director or higher (and the upper end is at least a vp). I mean, there probably is a director involved, but they definitely aren't the one making the padding.

I don't get what's happening in this thread. This is a pretty clear statement: hacking isn't worse than the killing that the government is already allowed to do. It's a pretty straightforward argument which for some reas

There's "Is an ev better than a new ice car" and "is an ev better than an ice car you already have". I think we're discussing the latter, where the upfront cost of the ice doesn't count because you already

I think the naming on the split is a little disingenuous. It's "mandatory", but it's still just laws. I get that the funding is decided differently, and I'm not making any claim one way or the other regarding whethe

Felt the same. I agree with the whole "why is there even an app" thread, but it being 300mb doesn't seem like that big a deal to me.

My experience is that most people don't understand statistics and can be pretty easily mislead. That includes myself, with my only defense being that I'm at least aware statistics don't intuitively make sense and either ignor

A 2% failure rate isn't impressive, but I'm fine not crediting any of the shuttle issues to software. My only point is that 100 instance of use for purpose isn't enough, to my mind, to argue that a piece of software is except

Sure, but I imagine at least some components only really execute a small number of times per flight, or possibly never in the case of certain error handling code. Stretching the metaphor more than is probably appropriate, I'd treat lau

100 is frankly not that impressive for software. A 2-9 system will sometimes work 100x in a row, and a 3-9 system usually will.

Well, the cheapest fair class doesn't include a features they want, which has a cost to the airline. That seems reasonable. If they are eligible and get to pick seats, then it's a tax on everyone else to support that.

Yes, I do live quite close, although that's because I moved closer on purpose. I enjoyed the office even before I live as close (it used to be a 30m commute, now more like 15), but the longer commute definitely made it a slightly less

For whatever it's worth: coder, like being in the office :) The organized environment, easy coffee, and not needing to dedicate a bunch of home office space make it a big win for me personally.

Well, that seems like a dumb test for the intelligence part. You need a robot for that. But that means intelligence cannot exist without a physical presence" which I think is at least controversial.

how are the jurors chosen? I'd expect this would be too small a sampling of people to be really representative, and I think it's often easy to confuse jurors who are (by definition) not experts. Not that I think they system as it

Presumably the real feature here is for admins to query the machine and ask it "how many hours of work did joebob actually do this week", and "has joebob complied with the will of his manager at all times this week".

Indeed. I think an MBA might make analogy to the time value of money concept; the time value of time would state that I'd prefer to have a free hour not working on this project now, than to have the same free hour at a later date. In t

This makes more sense, thank you. I hadn't picked up on the distinction, but I agree that's more reasonable. I still think we don't really know; it's developing technology and it's changing so fast that it seems lik

How would they know? We don't have general AI but it's written as if they already know what it will be, how safe it will be, etc. I think it's an important topic to discuss and consider, but this seems to be speaking with mor

What is the device for? Genuine ignorance and curiosity. Are there folks who cannot produce tears, and do the tears serve an important health function that makes it important to stimulate tears in this way?

You already gave an explanation before that had nothing to do with any difference in gendered behavior (it was next to the men's locker room), which makes it even more baffling that you're now suggesting that no, it really was bec

In state insurers are also responsible for bailing out the fair plan, which means they're effectively responsible for policies they didn't write unless they leave the state entirely.

Google too, for all practical purposes, since presumably this is mostly just watching you use chrome 90% of the time.
