Sounds like you're giving up after the first attempt.

I look at prices across the board and occasionally buy from Wally's World when there is a significant gain - especially when it is a heavy item with high shipping costs for home delivery. I go when I'm buying other specific things there, usually once a month, and picking up additional items takes all of 5 minutes.

You're correct on the quality of employee though. Keep things simple and don't ask for any changes. Open the order there and refuse and cancel the order if everything isn't perfect.

Sounds like TensorFlow will love supporting the Chinese version of Communism and controlling all their serfs.

Voters didn't evolve. Do you think there wouldn't be a massive public backlash if NASA was frying rockets at the same rate as X does?

It comes down to risk management, acceptable loss, and designing a system to fit in that rather than risk avoidance.

Many ICE cars are so quiet that they rival electric. The whole pedestrian thing is FUD. If anyone really wants to reduce pedestrian deaths then they need to support the police in writing more traffic tickets for the red light runners and other reckless drivers... and jay walkers.

Unlikely. It typically takes 5 to 8 pounds of pressure on the trigger to fire a double action revolver and holsters prevent access to the trigger.

More people are dying because police are no longer enforcing traffic safety laws and giving tickets. Why do your job when the media will just slander you to the point where some political DA prosecutes you? The vast majority of officers in the news for "brutality" have been exonerated when all the facts come out, but that is far after the blood sucking media whips up a sensationalized lie about it.

We will if they get that lab experiment turning solar energy into ethanol working to scale.

GM should have died during the recession. I'll never forgive them for cannibalizing Saturn for only 6 weeks of operating cost for the corpulent low quality main office.

The only reason to count them different are as fake status symbols. Same reason that jewelry and antiques are down 50% in price and sales - iP* is the new Bling.

I'd like to see how much China paid CBS for the show. The entire pilot was a propaganda piece.

AWS has had plenty of outages.

Personally I don't think there is any such thing as "technical issue". There are resourcing, risk management, and personnel management issues. I've built systems with the right teams before that could stand anything short of a nuke, and we came in under budget. Honesty and the right people give you results.

Have you ever heard of a country named "Ukraine"? Off down the rabbit hole you go...

The ACLU's largest push this last year is to protect rioting. Not protests, but riots that injure people and burn down property. Be careful of those "unified bodies".

Satellite offices aren't new, they are something that have been being shut down for the last 10-15 years as employers pull everyone into their hives. I'm watching one do it now in my city while another bought out a local company and is using it to triple employees and expand.

I've been to a couple dozen cities with better average talent than SV and willing to work for half the salary. Perfect english, same or similar time zones, and a short flight away if you need them in person.

China subsidizes electricity and hardware for bitcoin processing. Are they trying to take over the global market while minimizing bitcoin's disruption in their own markets? That would follow with their methods for standard currencies.

It's not really even capitalism... Lenovo makes the worst laptops but big business buys them because they are cheap. The loss of work time and quality is staggering.
