In the same way that the term "full self driving" or "autopilot" conjures images of vehicles driving themselves?

Not sure that Tesla should be opening the "what do words mean" can of worms right now.

It's easy, but before you leave, remember: there are very few things in life that matter less than adtech. You will find no shortage of stress and pressure in any field, including ones that pay much less.

First, make sure you don't have too many personal belongings in the office. There's always a chance they'll walk you out of the building on the spot.

Second, tell your manager that you think it's time for a change in your life, and you plan to move on from the company. Your manager probably has an "unregretted attrition" target, so they're unlikely to object to a 2-week notice period if they aren't spiteful.

You will take a big salary hit - make your peace with not owning a downtown penthouse by age 40 - but you probably have enough of a cushion to spend 6-12 months taking stock of your life and goals.

It's not so bad.

Looks like <$30 to buy a single unit on DigiKey with a prevailing price ~$40, but you'd probably need a reflow oven to solder the unit. $60 for an assembled board at retail.

Bulk retail is closer to $20, so OP may not have been referring to negotiated wholesale volume pricing.

As I understand it, the wrong combination of tumor suppressant/promoter genes getting switched off/on gives you cancer.

Exposure to some things can cause more mutations or hinder your body's error-correction systems, sometimes to extreme degrees. It is a numbers game, though.

All of this in a few days. Can't wait for the cable news channels to pick up on this, it will be hilarious. What are the odds that we see at least one primetime anchor mention SkyNet in the next week?

Maybe if we're lucky, enough people will get freaked out that we won't hook these things up to any decision-making systems for at least another year or two.

The funny thing is, on the rare occasion that I've met people who really seemed like they were ten steps ahead, they've held their cards pretty close to their vest.

Sometimes I worry that the truly clever people out there might actually be avoiding the act of broadcasting their thoughts on the internet all day.

Why give them away for free, to people who might misuse them?

It would be an ironic fate for a system that was originally designed to foster collaboration between leading academic, financial, and military institutions.

The same way he afforded bail.

His parents used the house that he bought for them as collateral, and a few unnamed benefactors also contributed.

Looks like the court just named them today, though. Larry Kramer and Andreas Paepke, heavyweights from the Stanford clique who might be friends of his family:

Not sure I would rely on that, but Xerox's docs state that the requirement was introduced as an anti-counterfeit measure by some governments. Counterfeiting currency probably wouldn't be a concern with B&W printers.

Most banknotes are not printed on ordinary paper, but it doesn't stop people from trying. Printers which produce those dots will also usually refuse to print high-resolution pictures of dollar bills.

They are cylindrical, grey, without apparent means of aerial propulsion, and prone to interfering with ultrasonic sensors...

Most dolphins are smaller than a compact car, but I bet they would break apart upon impact with a frozen sea after dropping out of the sky. This might be the correct answer.

>The reputational difference between the state schools and the ivy league has been narrowing a lot in recent years in response to numerous scandals like this and a lot of improvement from the state schools.

The elite schools are considered "elite" not because they offer a better education, but because they ensure that your classmates will be valuable network contacts after you graduate.

From the perspective of the school, admitting people who are already wealthy/successful is preferable to admitting people who may become successful in the future. The school's status depends on having a disproportionately large population from the former group.

They act this way because the business world works similarly: you are more valuable if you are already on a first-name basis with high-level executives and politicals, because you can listen to the wind and bring your contacts in on the businesses that you are involved in.

All of that is a long-winded rephrasing of the old truism: it's not about what you know, but who you know.
