30 million gallons just evaporated or percolated? Yet it didn't do that from the source before being drained. I imagine there would at least be a few large puddles on site. I'm still dubious.

The water went into the site, but where did it go then? If it wasn't bound up in concrete - someone else noted that concrete is usually trucked in - and even if it was used in an open-source cooling system, where was it discharged? Didn't someone else notice 30 millions of waste water or outflow somewhere?

For example, Struggling shoe retailer Allbirds makes bizarre pivot to AI, adds $127 million in value.

So that's something... :-)

Or any number of, now obsolete, general-purpose, vector-processor systems, like the Cray 2 or even parallel systems like the Myrias Parallel System - both of which I was an SA on *way* back. Parallel operations can speed certain type of workflow.

Something about a AI system is misleading? /s To the company's benefit? /s
What are you talking about Willis? (SCRUBS) :-)

I'm guessing people like her are used to the crowd having to adapt to them. It's the same logic driving the Trump/GOP mid-cycle re-redistricting efforts.

Her response seems to indicate that not only did she fail to predict the room, she failed to respond to it well after it got read to her.

Where those graduates actually expecting to find (well-paying) jobs, in those fields, now - regardless of AI?

Yup, that's why I'm keeping my 2001 Civic Ex (135k miles) and 2002 CR-V Ex (62k miles), both manuals, as long as I can. I think there are only about 6 vehicles available with a manual transmission now, and two are Hondas - the Civic Type R (basically a $45k race car) and the ~$35k Civic Si - but both my cars are in great shape and run well and I like them. Automatics feel "mushy to me and I'm not sure CVTs are reliable enough yet.

Iran should tell Trump they're using this to get him to blow it up for them. :-)

I think it's more about wanting to have the option for control you can't get with an automatic, cvt or fixed transmission, but can and are used to with a manual transmission. I have never owned a vehicle (car or motorcycle) without a manual transmission. If you haven't or can't drive a stick, you don't know.

Same for people who've never driven cars with manual transmissions.

(Both my 2001 Honda Civic and 2002 CR-V are manuals, as were both my motorcycles, btw.)

I haven't ridden in years, but still have the endorsement on my license and my helmet. I've had two (used) bikes: a Kawasaki Kz1000 and a Suzuki GT380. No opinion on this clutch though until I've tried it.

I get that; I have plenty of friends, married with kids, in that position. At least the ACA is in place to make health insurance more portable, even if it's not as affordable as originally intended (thanks Republicans), so there is one less thing tying people to their current job. Universal health insurance would be a step up in that respect, like Bernie Sanders' Medicare for All. I'd even support a reduced Basic Medicare for All with the ability to purchase something like medigap to cover extra things. I think the EU system is probably better for workers, but, of course, the taxes are higher to pay for that and Americans hate paying taxes, even if they get something for it. Unfortunately, I think it's a "other people don't deserve things and I don't want to pay for that" mindset rather than "we're all in this together" one.
