Kinda need to know what level of risk the Chinese AIs took on. Getting big gains by making risky bets and getting lucky = meh.

I still use my 2010 27" iMac as my main computer at home. It works perfectly well for web browsing and it runs several old apps like Quicken 2007 that I use on a regular basis.

Written on Election Night 2016 by Paul Krugman:

It really does now look like President Donald J. Trump, and markets are plunging. When might we expect them to recover?

Frankly, I find it hard to care much, even though this is my specialty. The disaster for America and the world has so many aspects that the economic ramifications are way down my list of things to fear.

Still, I guess people want an answer: If the question is when markets will recover, a first-pass answer is never.

During Donald Trump's first term, the S&P 500 rose approximately 83%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 73%, and the Nasdaq Composite surged 152%.

When they could nix novels in Nepal next?

There are plenty of places (outside California / NYC / Boston / Seattle, even) where the floor for junior devs is around $90k. Not hard at all to crack six figures with just yearly cost-of-living raises.

Corporations and governments have been collecting your data and using it to facilitate their operations for at least the last twenty years. It's just recently that they've begun openly admitting it with impunity.

When I moved to my current domicile eleven years ago, I signed up for "Basic Cable", just ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, CW, Fox, and the "rerun channels". $30 / month. I thought about cable, but at $80 / month, I didn't think I'd get my money's worth.

Today my basic cable's $60 / month, and regular cable is $150. Double the price and half the value in 11 years.

Don't forget, the same companies are trying to control both cable and streaming. They're all working hard to consolidate the market as much as possible to drive up the price even further. Do you really think Sinclair and Nexstar want to merge just so they can kick Kimmel off the air?

I wonder what we should do about that problem...

After that we only see variants on existing designs in order to maintain type-ratings.

Because this is what their customers, the people that pay $100-200M for a plane, want and have asked for: fewer types.

Common type-ratings are insanely important to airliners. It allows them to shuffle flight crews around when needed without solving an NP-hard type matching problem (well, airline scheduling is still NP, but fewer constraints is for sure better). Even flight attendants have to be type-rated since they are a critical part of air safety.

Being upset at Boeing (and Airbus, who has basically 2 types, or 3 if you count the out-of-production 380) to Boeing's 5 (or 6 if you count the 757) for meeting their customers' needs is bonkers.

That's not what I remember happening to a number of subreddits whose content was banned site wide.

Now if only PG&E would sell me power to make charging my EVs in the driveway cheaper than an equivalent gas car.

Seriously, it's like $.50/KWH -- more than in Hawaii. At that rate, it's 16Â/mi vs 12-14Â for a decent hybrid (30mpg/$4/gal).

Seriously, editors, not even 12 hours before you repost the story?

Well, as of right now, the OG posting only got 12 comments. I'm thinking maybe the dup is to try and generate more comments than the original, even if most of them would be about the duplicate posting.

Liberal Arts Colleges have many STEM majors, btw. Math, stats, CS, hard sciences. Many have 3/2 programs with selective research universities for students who want engineering degrees.

I suppose it depends on whether you want a comprehensive solution.

Switching to electric without also providing external ventilation doesn't solve the problem. Adding external ventilation to a gas range does, and still allows switching to electric in the future for even further gains.

In this sense "don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good" doesn't tell you which of the two imperfect solutions is better -- but I'm making the claim that the proper ordering from best to worst is electric + ventilation > gas + ventilation > electric + !ventilation > gas + !ventilation.

What I'm saying is that a minimal safe setup anyways requires an externally-ventilated hood regardless of the cooking fuel type.

Given that this is not mandated by building codes as it is, it's silly to mandate electric over gas. Neither of them are safe without external ventilation.

I love my induction too, but you need an externally-venting range hood anyway.

Take your cheap air quality detector and sear a steak on your induction without the fan on.
