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.

Sounds to me like your idea is just kind of lame and thinking it would be amazingly profitable is a bit of a stretch.

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.

That reminds me, time for a step 2.

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.

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.

This seems like a feature not a bug.

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?

I think it may depend on what you consider 'quality' and the purposes of the course. Is the typical 'literary canon' type of books 'the best' reading from 1600? Is the best reading list for a historical reading course all about reading similar stories from similar perspectives because they sold the most or have been popular with academics for the last couple hundred years? Or would you possibly get more value out of reading perspectives from lesser known authors who aren't white or whatever and thus were never as popular.

I know, in a lot of cases, I'd be more interested to read some niche tail written in the 1870s by a relatively unknown black or woman author than another version of huckleberry finn. Especially at a college level, you want to learn new and varied things you haven't been exposed to before, and more books by Charles Dickens aren't going to open a lot of new ideas and perspectives. Sorry for my early morning rambles.

I'm sorry to hear about your experiences in tech. As a federal employee, I know there is a huge push right now to hire a lot of people, and increasing our diversity in STEM roles is a concurrent goal. These jobs won't pay as well as typical tech jobs, but the job security is unmatched and the work life balance is very generous. I was going to link a few specific jobs, but I'll just suggest looking at usajobs and putting in some keywords that you are interested in.
