We seem to be at an inflection point with AI -- companies across the board are investing billions of dollars into AI R&D and I expect that we'll start to see some really amazing products and services coming out of this…
>Earth Loses 50,000 Tonnes of Mass Every Year. According to some calculations, the Earth is losing 50,000 tonnes of mass every single year, even though an extra 40,000 tonnes of space dust converge onto the Earth's…
The US Marshal Service is basically the judiciary's law enforcement branch. Yes, the DEA is also part of the DoJ, but the DEA is a lot more akin to the FBI than the Marshal Service. Marshals do prisoner security and…
This legislation reminds me that as crazy as people like Donald Trump are, there are equally crazy people already serving in our government.
It's shameful that (a) it took a freedom of information request to make this information public. (b) the Pentagon did it's own internal report and found that there was no wrongdoing. (c) that nobody in the government is…
4 was by far the best 'classic' Civ experience. That being said, I think the one unit per tile change in Civ5 was needed and added a lot of strategy to actually fighting. My hope in Civ6 is that tiles are smaller and…
At no point in the war was the Luftwaffe capable of (a) clearing the English Channel for such an invasion and (b) keeping the channel clear for reinforcements. It might have been possible to get an initial landing party…
I guess I don't really see the value to businesses. People have an awful tendency to (a) overrate themselves dramatically and (b) have wildly unrealistic expectations for what they're worth and what's out there. So you…
Yup. The problem with "solving" ad blocking is that it isn't lucrative. Ad blockers are trivial to create, but very difficult to monetize. These guys are as much scumbags as shady advertisers who bombard you with…
Interesting, a friend of a friend of mine is the founder of http://saner.gy/ They've been very successful in Kenya.
Text: After more than 20 years as an electronics engineer, Pete Edwards reached the low six-figure pay level. Now, as he looks for a job following a layoff, he finds that salary success a burden. Although his experience…
The presentation of this ebook is incredible. Really nicely done. I assume it's custom? :D
Good catch, I think you are correct!
The best part is that he wasn't even "banned by Tesla," he cancelled his order out of spite and so he could thrust himself into the spotlight again. Honest to god, some people are insufferable blowhards. Sure, the event…
I've been on Sprint since 2006. Granted, the one thing that has kept me around is the plan I have ($50 / month for unlimited text, data, etc, etc). The service, generally, has gotten much better over the last few years…
No argument about the batteries themselves, but self-driving cars require substantially less overall maintenance -- oil changes, timing belts, fuel pumps, transmissions, and even things like brakes all either are…
Great point, however if these autonomous vehicles are electric (and I'm not saying they would be), they'd require much, much less maintenance than a fossil-fuel based autonomous fleet.
40,000 people a year die on American roadways right now. We are horrible drivers and get into hundreds of thousands of accidents per year. No software is perfect, but the bar is pretty low for computers to be better…
The pods are awful. My friend, who buys lots of useless stuff, has described the Kold as "the most useless thing I've ever bought." A mini-fridge + 20 cases of Coke is cheaper upfront and in the long run.
