Doesn't that broadly seem like a problem? Given the preferred pronouns here are "they/them", which is what people ought to be using if they don't know, the problem stems from peopl…

Wow, this sounds eerily similar to my situation, though I was only there about 3 years. I left to join an AV startup and it's amazing how much more I've learned and accomplished in…

It also wasn't in isolation; he made very similar remarks in 2006 on his blog that he got flak for, but people mostly brushed aside as 'oh, Stallman..' Comments here seem to mostly…

If you read through Autonomy by Lawrence Burns, the author states that Levandowski felt the project was losing focus & getting too bloated, and wanted to disrupt it with a Team Mac…

Read the license on this thing. "open data set" is a stretch here. It's against the license terms to publish a trained model, or its weights, or even use the dataset for models tha…

If I make project Foo, which leverages #Script, and make Foo MIT-licensed, by your statement #Script is now also MIT licensed in this project. So then Company Blah wants to use Foo…

This is one of our favorite jokes internally, often invoked when new signage is put up to clarify how trashcans work or the like.

Even on a lighter note, I'm getting more and more frustrated at cloud device providers changing features on a whim. For example, I own Nest products that I bought to integrated int…

During a snow storm/PABT outage this past winter, I observed a jitney line from 8th ave down halfway to 10th. It's pretty crazy to see the mishmash of alternative transit modes peo…

Same. Basically anyone with a newer Veriphone system (which everyone seemed to roll out back when we switched to chip) seems to support it. I use Google Pay, so it's not Apple-spec…

Right. There's no enforcement of visa itineraries so long as your first one has valid flights & hotel. After that, you get 10 years of multiple entry with no required itineraries. …

I'm not sure and I don't want to misspeak. I know that my company does not do such a thing, and my phone when roaming (Project Fi) bypasses the GFW. However, I do know there are sp…

If that's the case, it's worth noting (since it's often lost here, on reddit and in the news) that is app is only required at border checkpoints in Xinjiang. Putting Xinjiang on yo…

There's important findings in here, but it also reminds me of reactions to Prius, Tesla, public buses, etc., where people latch on to any viable excuse to continue their wasteful s…

I regret, though should be grateful, that I live in a space too small to fit my own model railroad setup. Been thinking about building an El onto the crowning for a while, though.

Seems like misguided faux environmentalism, like banning plastic straws but keeping the longtail of plastic waste. Electric buses are good, of course, but a well-designed and highl…

Hold on a second. NYer here. Yes, we spent a lot of money on the problem. But we did not 'solve the issue.' Not even close. Our problem doesn't seem as bad as SF's (perhaps just le…

This is SOP at most Big 4. It does strike me as funny, though, that MS would ban Slack/GDocs, that Google bans basically all non-Google cloud products, yet both companies are tryin…

I've heard tales of cell towers having more or less automatic interference detection and the owners have a big incentive to let the FCC know. For other things, it's so rarely enfor…

The idea that Tesla could get fully auto vehicles out of the existing Model 3s their building today is laughable. Even top-tier AV companies, with larger teams and far more advance…

>It is incredibly hard to have consistent results on e-sports tournaments. The NYXL are a great example of this. Often undefeated in normal season stages but then choke when it act…

As someone who attends community board meetings in Manhattan, this seems to be the average attendee's opinion too.

It got a little more complicated than that. I can't speak too much about the specifics, but people were definitely defaming the country itself and overall going out of line in hope…
