Wow.. yet another misguided application of technology.
Why does this need to be decentralized? Answer: It doesn't
Does this need to be efficient? Answer: Presumably yes, this solution won't scale well
How straightforward is this solution? Answer: Its not, and the maintenance cost is super high

Yes, I can probably do most of my job from a mainframe and cobol too, but that would likely get me fired since its not a responsible choice of technologies. Clearly, a lack of leadership going on here

I was just quoted 120k... for an Oracle cloud solution... for a test environment

No thanks.

Uhh... I beg to differ. Reorient the seats, do some creative accounting with all the extra inches; give everyone the 12"-16" they need to squeeze in single file and sittting on shoulders... I can see 120-150 seats fitting into the 9 seater based on current trends.

Lets you and I form a company. Slashdot.ai -- where our AI finds the most cynical outcome
With this kind of tech, we could predict elections ;)

I don't read this as an insight, but a way for recruiters to prey on a larger flock (and still not find relevant talent)

I have not logged in since 2000. There is no leaving Facebook. They are still tracking everything I do in order to curate my shadow profile.

While I agree that everyone should leave, but short of that, they need heavy regulation

Minimum wage laws.

My thoughts exactly! The choice of NY and DC as your headquarters was clearly a foregone conclusion. They obviously knew before the contest started that these were the locations. You don't move into NY or DC for a tax reasons or for good employees, you do it because you want the influence that comes in having a presence in those areas.

You want to conquer the world, these locations are your venue.

Heres some feedback to help penetrate the American market:

• The shot should contain at least 3-5 people
• Each person should be different news rooms
• The audio track should overlay all 6 people talking at once
• At the end, cut to Trump calling it 'fake news'

Seriously, why are there not criminal charges pending? Perhaps they stopped and reported it. But had they done that, why did the PR at Waymo not cite the police report? Conversely, a police report would have been created for the victim in the case of a hit and run -- where is the investigation into the Camry? Shoddy journalism. Fairly one sided view of the incident

Yet they are the 5th largest economy.

This. Many theories, but the one that sticks out the most to me is that Elon no longer wants to be held to a quarterly target. It almost seems like a personal preference over a sounds business decision

... The cost associated with 3D printing is a race to the bottom.

You're price points don't reflect what the price will be in 50 years - when it's pennies to print a weapon, with no regulatory hoops to jump through, no background checks, and no mandatory waiting period.. the question is then, why bother buying a traditional weapon?
