Is it? Modern roofing is pretty complex and is begging for innovation, even with materials that don't generate electricity.

Serious question: Are you sure solving abstract mathematical problems with AI is responsible use? You will likely put mathematicians out of jobs, and I doubt solving the Collatz conjecture is urgent or will save lives. It also robs a futur

It's not backward, it's too forward. No one got arrested 100 yrs ago for letting their kid walk around alone.

Yes, because no employee with million-dollar comp has ever been untrustworthy in the history of business.

That's impressive. I thought the NetHack wiki would be older, but it dates to 2005, although I suspect there was an earlier version somewhere else.

I highly recommend getting the full book. This should be required reading for every housing developer. If you ever felt like a house or community was uncomfortable or made you subconsciously unhappy, you might find the reason in this book.

I'm sure that was 100% secure, too. /s (I did the same thing back then.)

The link OP submitted appears to be a webpage displaying a screenshot of another web page, and the image aspect ratio has been altered. It's so comically bad it had to be on purpose, or someone is doing their web dev in MS Word. Edit:

Statistically overdetection leads to poorer outcomes because interventions have a risk as well. That's why everyone doesn't get a yearly full body CT scan, for example. The current guidelines are based on optimizing for maximum go

Markets are forward looking, pricing in future cash flows. No one should be thinking about SpaceX's present value when buying their stock. If you do that you'll always be too late to the party. That said, I don't agree on the

I don't understand how some of y'all use these things. I get garbage unless I give them very specific concrete tasks with as much context as possible. Anything that takes more than 30 min is usually a waste because the scope was t

Worth noting the cost of dealing with Treasury's absolute dumpster fire of a website, though.

I didn't say that at all. I said it was achievable for SpaceX eventually. It's not a $1T company yet. Reading comprehension, people.

Historically a $1T market cap with a PE of 20.0 would be achievable with a $50B/yr profit. That seems easily achievable eventually for SpaceX, as it has actual hardware and services and IP.

"What would you say you do here?" "A lot of things." You still gave zero concrete information about why HR is necessary. Which is exactly the problem here.

by queuebert 4mo ago
As we enter this era of far more qualified candidates than jobs, HR will die eventually the equivalent of index funds is for hiring. Just as most money managers didn't beat the market and lost out to Bogle's low-cost index funds,

For me a TUI constrains the style of presentation to something reasonably good. In an era of websites with tiny light gray font on dark gray background, where scrolling is really a javascript page load, and the back arrow is not respected,

We didn't know as much about possible nuclear reactions back then, so I think they thought there was a possibility that there was an exothermic chain involving N or O that could be ignited by the bomb and would be self sustaining. Whi

Some chess sites make you solve a checkmate problem for a captcha. Are those automated now, or is that a good method?

You are quite correct. I'm also free to dislike him for his choices.

So Nate & Co sell out to a big corporation then are upset that it does big corporation stuff? I'm more mad at Nate here because 538 was my go-to for political coverage pre-sellout, and because of his greed it went away.

I did. I made my own custom start page back in the day with frequently used searches, along with headlines, weather, stocks, etc. Instead of menus, it just divided topics using horizontal rules, much like an actual newspaper.

This is why I frequently post about how I miss Gopher. It kind of forced this hierarchy.

EV motors can rev insanely high, so they don't need to shift gears, while most gas engines are limited to 6-7k RPM from factory. Thus the gassers need gears that essentially torque divide to reduce RPMs. You are very confused.
