Tesla owners are known to be willing put up with things other car owners aren't. I don't want to fool around with a touchscreen in traffic.
Not really, it's a very old observation. For example, Cicero observed that "whoever gives his labor for money sells himself and puts himself in the rank of slaves" And there are many types of slavery that are not…
Glassdoor is only useful when there are a significant amount of negative reviews for an employer. It means that the employer is bad, so bad that they don't care enough to pay a firm to pad their Glassdoor page with…
Total health expenditures have skyrocketed[1] along with the amount of hospital administrators[2] over the last few decades. This particular hospital is unlikely to have escaped the trend. [1]…
The worst is the blog spam that reaches the top of Google's search results. I don't think it's a coincidence that those poor quality results are given precedence when they also happen to be littered with, and optimized…
Automated bureaucracy without a means for recourse is nightmare fuel.
Rich people can afford to insure and rebuild on disaster-prone, but otherwise highly desirable, property. I lived near a barrier island that would get hit with hurricanes each season, and every 5-10 years a storm would…

Also, assume that states have access to root certificates.

Amazon is AliExpress with a domestic retailer's markup. At least with Walmart I know that when they stock something on their shelves, they care about liability and bad PR.
Very few problems are solved by simply ignoring them. General awareness of a problem is needed to mobilize political action. If the solution to the problem is political, awareness of the issue might inspire direct…

AI is gradient descent?
For reference, 80% of antibiotics used in the US are used in agriculture [1]. Animals are fed antibiotics to prevent infection, but they’re also fed to animals as “growth promoters” [2]. 60% of infectious diseases in…

Wait until you need to deploy to a platform that doesn’t have a precompiled version of a dependency uploaded to PIP. Docker shines in that regard.
A few years ago Adobe, Apple, Google, Intel, Intuit, Pixar, Lucasfilm and eBay all successfully kept engineer pay down through anti-poaching agreements[1]. Unions provide checks and balances against that type of abuse.…

Best Buy’s USB-C offerings are lacking and almost entirely Apple related. What other stores will I have to avoid if I buy a MacBook in 2019?
Consumer desktop apps? Maybe. Enterprise, industry specific and desktop apps for professionals? No.
That's a strange claim without any evidence to back it up. It's the first video on their "Autopilot" page. There's absolutely no mention of features that don't exist yet in the video. You have to scroll all the way to…
That's a stretch. The video is directly under the headline of "Autopilot". Absolutely nothing on the page suggests that the video is demonstrating features that don't exist yet. Both the Center For Auto Safety and…
Weird, when I go to Tesla's Autopilot page[1], I'm presented with a video demo where the driver has his hands off of the wheel. The video has the following caption: > The person in the driver's seat is only there for…
