    Why do you think there's a longer interval between inspections for Teslas? The interval for Hauptuntersuchung in Germany (which this article is about) is 2 years (except for the fi…

    Unfortunately, some companies' HR departments actively encourage "trivia questions", because they ask interviewers to ask every candidate the same questions so that a "fair" compar…

    Why wouldn't it have good coordination? A bot has access to a perfect model of how the other bot would act - itself. Also, computer engines didn't seal the doom of human players in…

    I'm not saying "Google's Awesome!". My point is that the view you presented is far more biased than what I get from my colleagues and friends that stayed in academia. People runnin…
