People get same day delivery diapers. Apparently it's worth it.

Ok thanks for the explanation! I read through the tutorial and it looks like a fun project to get started in.

One thing also for readers is that https://dwtkns.com/srtm30m requires an account with https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov to download tiles.

Is this similar to what vricon[1] does?

I was searching around and found something noting they won a contract to build the Army's One World Terrain 3d model. This OWT appears to be some kind of classification for applying sat imagery over terrain data sets, maybe?

I suppose that's a base of why 'Google fu' and 'Googling skills' are such common phrases.

Knowing how the machine will interpret humans is just as important to finding your results.

It looks like that author primarily stays in the shitty listicle category of journalism. To me CNN and other publishers should be more careful of what they publish if they want to be 'known' for their journalism standards and reputation.

I never heard of this before and tried to look it up without success.

I did find this Reuters article which mentions "In 2011, to mark three major anniversaries, ruler Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad al-Sabah granted 1,000 dinars to each Kuwaiti and free food rations for 13 months."

1000 dinars ~$3200

Isn't this similar to other Tesla AP accidents where it's a standing vehicle/object that isn't detected because it isn't moving. Something to do with using radar?

Is this still an ongoing problem for Tesla or is this a one-off thing where maybe AP was on, maybe it wasn't and the driver is blaming the AP (that AP excuse came up in my linked article when it was just bad driving)?

There's a lot of points on this post but no comments. What do people experienced with ML think about this course? Is it worth the time?

I haven't been following this Blizzard situation (debacle maybe?) too closely but does anyone know which has had a greater affect on American's humanitarian interests in Hong Kong, was it Blizzard or the NBA?

It's hard to tell if I'm seeing Blizzard and gaming show up more because of tech overlap but both seemed to have a huge impact on increased discussion among people around me. It really brought a lot of exposure to people who don't follow the news that closely, ime anyways.

You know where there isn't outcry about this? In Seattle at the Amazon corp offices. There are regular company wide email threads (seattle-chatter@ among others) making jokes about the shitty working conditions of warehouse employees. Walking around the hallways and lunch areas you hear people making jokes about how awful it is. Nobody there cares. Change the type of free coffee in the lunch areas though and all hell breaks loose.

Quitting that company was such a relief to myself, and cutting ties with everything Amazon was at least important to me. I cannot morally support a company that treats their employees in such a way.

It lasted about 3 years before getting shut down. That's better than most of their chat apps at least.

Then there's Kayne, who now has a church service where he preaches on Sundays. It has a huge cult following from his stans.

I worked for Amazon until earlier this year. They worked everyone hard as fuck. Even principal engineers worked nights and weekends. It was the worst experience of my life.

For people reading these comments you need to understand these people who say it's blown out of wack and FUD (lmao no) it isn't. And typically the people who get themselves into positions where their job is butter at Amazon is because they threw a bodies on the fire to get there.

It's an awful company to work for if you're a deg. It's even worse if you're a warehouse employee.

When people go on the record stating they have to piss in Gatorade bottle because they don't get sufficient bathroom breaks it's not FUD it's a shitty employer. /Rant

It's kinda interesting how people are just now realizing that all the big tech companies are government contractors and not this imaginary utopia of 'making the world a better place' they were sold on.

Google, Amazon, Microsoft are all US gov't contractors. It's hilariously ironic seeing the political views of the employees suddenly clashing with their employers views of making money as if it's a new thing.

Pastbin is pretty easy

So where does Jeff Bezos fall in this?

Amazon also uses WeWork in a few locations, including Seattle. I would imagine since they're renting out multiple floors, they're getting a better than market price.

At least they're upfront about I guess. Unlike most companies including those that fall into BIGCORP where you're stack ranked out if you aren't competing on hours spent in office.

You bought a cheap throw away car, of course it's losing money. How is that worth making broad arguments about an entire industry?

> Pretty much the only reason you post on 4chan is to reply to people and get replies from people

Just because there's no points, doesn't mean people don't get satisfaction from people replying to them, or having your thread stay at the top with lots of discussion.

Replying to threads bumps them to the top right? So having a thread high on the page is a similar signal as point rankings right?

> I think this is the WWI of our generation

That's a weird analogy, could you explain that further? I don't really follow how living months in cold wet trenches, watching your friends get killed everyday and killing enemy soldiers relates to social media addiction?

> Is checkout speed really limiting factor in grocery store growth though? Like are people that sensitive to the few extra minutes (at most) at the checkout counter they'll switch where they shop?

Have ever been inside a walmart? There's only ever like 2 checkouts open and massive lines, that's a long time to stand there.

Waiting in line at the grocery store I thought was one of the most common annoyances people have?

I know only knew a little about this industry from dating someone who was a merchandiser, this filled in so many gaps in what I knew about those jobs! What a great comment

Ya I order from Walmart online all the time for dry food, for years now. Their delivery wasn't next day, but usually a few days which 99/100 times for me is more than fine.

The game Charlie and Frank play at night?

I wonder what the number is for people who wear respirators for dust/fumes. There's the paper masks people are most familiar with and the charcoal canisters for working with chemicals. Since it's sealed off would it be even higher than a motorcycle helmet?

What happens when you call the number?

From reading articles on here for years about Teslas, it seems one of the major selling points is that you are expected to not have you car in a shop getting maintenance unlike ICE vehicles. I think most people forget about all the other stuff in that conversation then never considered what it takes to actually get a Tesla serviced because you'd expect it to be like every other car getting repaired.
