This is on a similar scale to complaining about there being too many tennis balls on the surface of the earth. Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglin…

Dead on arrival. China will sell you fully kitted hilux equivalents with japanese engines for 10k. Even toyota is making 10k trucks in thailand. US manufacturers are just not ready…

That is absolutely not what they meant. Do you really, honestly think they're that stupid?

So, here's a thought... If FSD is going to be a subscription and you will never own our fancy autopilot feature. Why should the user pay for insurance? The user is paying for a ser…

Another thing that I think would help is to start introducing some ethics into our profession as programmers. Most other professions have you take ethics classes, have ethics board…

>Every election would have to be fake. Every government database would have to be full of fake names. And all for what? To get one over on the dumb Westerners? While I agree that t…

Study. Not studies. And with very limited methodology.

Poor guy. I've seen this in my own family. I doubt they can work it out and it will only get worse with age. She will definitely not take kindly to him wanting to take any of the k…

That has happened like 4 times with AMD already since I've been buying PCs

I've come to accept that, at least in latam, shirt sizes no longer have any real meaning. Every manufacturer in the world has a different opinion as to what those letters mean.

Massive, shiny and slow

This has also been my experience. Curriculum standards really put a stop to any radical changes in the way we structure the learning process. I guess that IS the point of standards…

They expect AI bureaucracy to be more effective than human bureaucracy. I expect this to be entirely true in some cases.

Yeah, totally nonexistent product for most of the world

So, obvious question, is there a database of IMDB reviews?

I am, in fact, suggesting you do this.

Be careful with this default position. If we start from first principles: - Any one individual is not trained or experienced in the vast majority of scientific disciplines, regardl…

For sure. I hate excessive regulation, but if companies keep poisoning the well, action has to be taken

Not sure about the US but in some countries this is regulated for cars. Companies are required to provide parts for a certain amount of years after discontinuation of the product. …
