    Your attitude seems pretty bad. I don’t think that was the point I was making at all. This seems exactly like a case where computer algorithms would function worse than humans. It …

    The dummy in no way looks human in the context I’d expect a self driving system to have. Humans don’t have a way to move their legs back and forth that way while remaining stationa…

    They have a great group of people. I’ve worked with maybe 6-7 of them directly, and they’re all on my list of people I’d actively want to work with again, across a pretty wide set …

    The tasks are not the hard part. Alignment is a lot easier when you’re all close. I went from a distributed team (4 offices spread between EU and US) to a team that’s all co-locate…

    The spyglass and the spider took 15 year old me like a month to figure out. Still think it’s one of the most enjoyable games I’ve played.

    In Sweden, the government does the work for most normal cases. They send you a suggestion of “this is all we know about” and you just say “yeah, seems right” via SMS. In Ireland yo…

    I too worked in France. I hated the long lunches, since it meant you left work at 6 or 7 in the evening. I’d rather be out the door at 5 (like I do now in the US) or 3-4 (like I di…

    The upgraded membership is 60usd more than the normal, gives you 2% back on purchases, and they will refund it to you if you ask, so not sure how you could lose 100 on that.

    Advertising? “We have a big group of users, and being featured with us will cost you X and bring Y more sales”. Price comparison sites is not a new thing?

    Living now in the US I am confused why houses are so big and yards so small. Well, not confused, it makes financial sense for builders, but a bit sad. I’d much rather have a smalle…

    And there are a lot of regulators. Some of them a lot more combative than others. That is my main reason for dislike for the regulations. Overall I support the regulations, but I r…

    The regulation is very ambiguous. Try to understand what is even personal data from this: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio... It is all about risk, ambi…

    At any kind of scale that is 100% not the case. The orchestration of a data extract from even a midsized corporation is a significant endeavour. Someone in the company knowing what…

    Yes. Emails are 100% PII. Even user names can be argued to be.

    Or you were in university/connected to a university. The Swedish qwctf scene at least was very clearly divided in 20ms people who went to or worked at, a university, and 150ms peop…

    To me it was almost unwatchable. My eyes aren’t great, and excessive use of darkness / lack of contrast magnifies that. I have the same problem with some video games.

    I think they are referring to Herzberg? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-factor_theory Sounds like a different way to express that.

    I disagree on the best in class. Apples insistence on hard plastic means they give up the proven best choice for sound isolation (silicone or foam buds). Claiming it is a feature t…

    The argument of employers being these evil things that hold no loyalty is tiresome. Loyalty is not a black and white thing. I can list close to 15 years of small experiences that m…
