We love Brex - they've been great to us and we love the integrations and easy receipt capture.

Most tidal systems are "trap and release" style (barrages) - you wait until high tide, trap the water, then run the differential through a turbine.

This kills a ton of sea life.

Tidal Kinetic systems suffer from bursty power output.

Other systems are too expensive, too early, or both.

This is definitely the correct response - what is the role of testing if not to uncover flaws in both design and implementation?

There are doubts in both, frankly.

Errors in precision and accuracy.

Illegal shipping is a small problem (~$100M?)

Illegal fishing is not - $10 - $23B annually in cost (2009)[1], destroys fish stocks, and contributes to slavery and human trafficking.[2]

Can you provide demonstrative examples for said empathy?

Transparent | Seattle, WA | Multiple Positions | ONSITE | Full-time | $80k-180k with equity

Are you shocked at how hard it is to move money? How expensive it is? Transparent is a well funded stealth fintech looking to solve how money moves in the US and the world.

Our stack is Rust, Go, and cryptography, but we really value those who are opinionated team players, can quickly master new technologies, and are excited about making a difference.

We're especially looking for senior software developers and applied cryptographers, but if you can write code, I'd love to talk to you - jeff@transparentinc.co.

Nice still had quite a few topless women of all ages on the private beaches when I visited in May.

"Time Tested" recipes have already done this work - they've performed the process over a long period of time with a wide variety of small input changes/variable ingredients.

For example, the Toll House Cookie recipe has been executed how many millions of times with predictably good results.

This is the most succinct description of this phenomenon I've ever seen.

As technologists, we often wonder why new, better tech doesn't dominate. If something suffices, why change?

I'm interested in the facts of what they're doing so well - do they have deployed systems taking passenger rides? This is/was my industry, so I'm not just asking idly.

As an aside, the lack of clarity about who you do work for is probably what's contributing to the "teleological conspiracy theories".

Thus far, Autopilot has only killed individual drivers.

Weather.

There are low-bit networks as well: https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05279

That technology is now a spinoff of AI2 and UW: https://www.xnor.ai/

It fails in place, then you replace the internals every five years as a single unit. After 20 years, you recycle the whole thing.

Definitely. Robots aren't used in factories for speed, primarily. They're used for consistency and quality control.

The recent push to get Model 3's out with hand labor is going to wreck them in about six months as the recalls and repairs start to roll in.

Tesla had all sorts of tolerance problems early and moving to hand assembly in a tent won't improve it.

If the average utility is calculated as ideas by they who have the most money, then you're golden.

I agree completely - why would paid posting do anything but create a chilling effect on anyone but the wealthy?

Hopefully my tone didn't make it seem like I was spoiling for a fight - I don't know of a dry topic that's not enhanced with stories about the people involved in mainline journalism.

It is a justification. If newspapers were a public good, they could afford to write pieces that didn't necessarily land well with the public, but had more substance around the science.

While newspapers don't include the Kardashians in the war coverage, they DO include the Kardashians. War is very different from Science - it is straightforward, exciting to read about, and has an immediate human interest. Science is none of those things.

Critically, "Tether" and the dollars that back it would have to be held in a transparent, auditable manner by the company who of course would comply with all regulations. Otherwise, no US bank or major retailer would touch them.

I'm unsure of what your purpose is with this post - if you want to compete because you think it is a good business - costs << price - go for it.

"Let the past die. Kill it if you have to."

Why can't people be excited by something from Microsoft?

The character is what brought them there? Not jobs?

Also, which SF are you proposing to maintain? The 1850's version? Early '90's? Whenever you decided to move there?

The only constant is change and renewal - you can't live in a museum.

The same doctor - patient relationship that was hijacked by corporations pushing drugs and kickbacks for doctors? Who is in control then?

Rainbow's End is delves deeply into this idea - everyone can choose their reality and share it with others.

State reset isn't the right term. You want something like "Reveal two cards from your hand. Pay the casting cost for one. If it successfully resolves, exile the second card. If it does not, put the second card into play as if it were cast."

Overload is a pitch perfect modern Descent sequel. If you liked Descent, you'll love it.

Massive government subsidies to keep hot talent in the country.
