Have you thought about modeling aeolian transport (wind-blown sand?) the mechanics of it are poorly understood and this could be a decent starting point. I know the other models attempting to capture aeolian transport are extremely lacking.
For real, was it their self driving division? The faux secrecy in that was astounding. Like everyone knows what is going on here just tell that the computer vision machine learning job focused on high definition video and LiDAR data is for the car, we both know it’s for the car.
Got it in one. It was the only division I was interested in, they reached out to me, and I made that extremely clear upfront. There were already 6 other offers on the table and having been through Apple's fairly exhausting process before, didn't want to waste time interviewing for a team at the wrong level in the stack.
I assumed I was interviewing for the self driving car because it was rumored back then, and then the secrecy might make sense. Also it's good for my ego lol. Then I asked a friend that works for them about it years later and she said apple is secretive about any position... I could've been interviewing for a help desk position in the cafe for all I know.
These results have to be sandbagged right? Is there any reason this stuff wasn't rolled out years ago except one company sandbagging technical development so they can sell 2008 technology at 2022 prices?
It does mean exactly what you laid out here and took as obvious —- many investors and shareholders did not —- that this is an indicator that Facebook is in post-growth. This is news because as little as 12 months ago people would’ve had spirited disagreements about this, but as more evidence emerges we see more and more nails in the coffin.
They’re not enforcing shit, they’re just letting people know that the word can have a negative connotation. This could be extremely helpful for a newer English speaker, someone from another culture, or god forbid someone who just wants to use language that won’t make someone upset.
Yep, it would have helped you to capitalize "God" and not offend Christians. Or better yet, not even written the word itself. You can use "G*d" to be safe.
This is a nuanced take that I hadn't considered, fair enough. For people just trying to go along to get along in their communications and feel there are minefields everywhere, I could see this tool being a relief/helpful. I personally don't think that relief is worth the tradeoff, but I def can agree to disagree.
The golden rule is a good starting point. As an abrasive person who doesn’t mind when people fight or argue at me, I tried to live by the golden rule and realized people want to be treated how they want to be treated, not how my autistic ass wanted to be treated.
In the same way the term “boy” is never really used insultingly, but people use “girly” or “stop being a little girl” as an insult all the time. So it makes sense that you wouldn’t be offended by the similar term, but some women may not like girls so much. I think this is reasonable and treating people how they want to be treated is the ultimate goal.
You can have plenty of projects get done that take longer than 4 years. You will have problems getting projects done that half the country hates if it takes longer than 4 years.
It's a feature and a bug. A bug because it doesn't take anywhere near half the country to block something or push it through. A vocal minority or well-funded politically connected group is all it takes. Refer back to my net neutrality example. Polls generally showed a significant majority of the public was in favor of net neutrality, I've seen polls peg it anywhere from 57% to 83%.
Popular policies around the issue created by legislative statute instead of agency rules would have been a lot harder to repeal.
It's not about "half the country hates it", though. Plenty of projects have widespread support, but are only backed by one party (or no party). It's clearly a bug, as it causes undue preference for the status-quo above and beyond the popular will (and the common good).
Maybe there would be tangible progress on waste storage/ processing if government set standards and then got out of the way. That seems to be working in the area of space launches.
Like the lockdowns did jack. Just look at the numbers and the spread of the virus with lockdowns in place. Hell, look at the Chinese in lockdown still today. Lockdowns were all political and crushed a huge portion of this country that the one voting party didn't like.
The comment section isn't a zero-sum game. The fact that alternatives to the x86 are brought up in the comments section could be useful for many people, it might not be for you, but it is for many people. To use your own analogy, how many people are currently sputtering around the USA in pickup trucks that don't require a F-150?
