Ford was working on autonomous stuff before Argo though, from what I understand. Argo was bought I think in hopes that they could significantly advance their tech with startup inge…

Amtrak isn't a government agency though. It's a public-private partnership AFAIK

So, according to your article, 29% of Canadians had to wait 4 or more hours, whereas 24% of Americans did, so I'm not seeing much comparative improvements and I'd hypothesize that …

No, they have an actual product. It's just pseudo-science. It's a different sort of fraud that would attract a different type of buy-in

Yeah, but I think they have a point about the variable names. Really hard to tell the significance of anything there.

It's more convenient than pagination for the user. At least up until they want to share a specific section

Well, only if you unlock your phone, too.

How useful is the info gathered from an attack like this? Does it depend on the specific method (e.g., contactless card versus something like Google Pay) how compromising the infor…

Unfortunately, virtually all CS programs have become Software Engineering programs save for their names. The actually thinking and theory behind it is often more of a side note as …

Yeah, this seems pretty dodgy when they're showing just pure bolivar expenditure. I think cryptocurrency could probably be a good deal for Venezuelans right now, too. It avoids bei…

I get this feeling that the displayed images just won't be the same, not the least because they'd just be flat images instead of what you see when you normally look out. As someone…

Well, it is a fun name. Do you plan to support this down the line? I feel like compilers that compile down to Rust could become really good tools depending on how the popularity of…

This isn't a really important question, but why the name Cannoli? I feel like you missed an opportunity here to call it "PycRust". (c standing for "compiled to" of course)

I personally don't like relying on my browser for notifications. I like having native apps because usually fine tuning notifications for them is easier in that respect, things that…

Yeah, there's certain things that native apps make a lot more sense for (e.g. messaging apps like Facebook Messenger where you want notifications to come up similar to text message…

Any cancer is related to age in the sense that the older a person is, the more opportunity they've had to encounter it. I suppose the best way to look at it is see how many cumulat…

Yeah, but they were saying in math related contexts, in which orthogonal is almost equivalent to perpendicular.

Nah, that would be skew. Orthogonal crosses but goes in a different direction.

I think it would be more like Google couldn't sell advertising to European companies, nor provide other paid services like licensing and the sort.

That's a different take on mathematics than many people I've met who study it. For me, mathematics is an extension of philosophy, geared towards finding intrinsic truth in a quanti…

> By that logic, we should limit owning and operating a motor vehicle to special car parks because we're scared of the mental fitness of our fellow citizens. Why take the risk? We …

That's a problem with the model, though, not math itself. People who attribute divinity to mathematics aren't considering these types of things as its the application of math into …

> And then one can ask “what is the domain of mathematics?” or even “does mathematics have a domain?”, questions which lead us into a “philosophy of science” discussion with no end…

I see you have not watched La Casa de Papel (or, as they have recently creatively rebranded it in English, "Money Heist"). Yeah, it wasn't produced by Netflix, but they stick their…
