1. Do you have pretty good lawyers? Those threatening emails don't make you think about stopping having that lifestyle? 2. Why is it that you decided to live that life in Vietnam? What area within Software Development do you work with?


1. I called my rep at AT&T who sold me the plan and she asked if things had slowed down. I said no. She didn't respond after that. Get it?

2. I love a good challenge.

3. I write software that optimizes a large amount of GPU hardware.


This might not be directly related to the article, but I was wondering if other self-driving companies also made overoptimistic claims.

As an example, Honda doesn't seem to make too many over-hyped promises [0].

Car companies whose name is not Tesla have generally been pretty realistic in my experience because they're pretty much fine with continuing down the path of improving assistive systems (and incrementally developing EVs). They're fine with not having FSD so long as others don't.

With the somewhat exception of Waymo (which I don't really understand although it's probably related to internal incentives) the companies making the more outrageous claims are mostly companies who see FSD as a secret sauce that's essential to their business.



Both stories are well-worth a read. It appears the pandemic is being used as a smokescreen for a glorified land grab that will endanger the remnants of one of the oldest cities in the Americas. It's a shame that this activity is not getting the same attention that Palmyra and the Buddhas of Bamiyan received.


Would you care to elaborate? You're talking about the Y of the XY chromosomes?


If Dante’s son had a son who had a son x 36, the Y chromosome would not have changed much


Assuming all those 36 sons were actually children of their legal fathers.


In general you can say that on average a child has 25% of their genes from each grandparent. But in the case of the sex chromosomes, we know that a male has 50% of their paternal grandfather's sex chromosomes and 0% of their paternal grandmother's sex chromosomes (and vice versa for a female); the Y chromosome is passed on whole or not at all (you can't get half of it from your mother).




From [0], dated January 16, 2020:

>Aung San Suu Kyi could not have ordered the military to stop their operations against the Rohingya, and it was legitimate to fear that the military would reverse the transition toward democracy ...

Now we see just how little control she had over the generals.


You're quoting the first part of that article, but ignoring the entire conclusion - she was a willing enabler of the genocide.

"But now that the military establishment has moved to accommodate the Burmese pro-democracy movements in the country, oppression of so-called Muslim foreigners like the supposedly Bengali Rohingya is perfectly acceptable along the path toward building an exclusionary Buddhist nation-state."


This coup shows how meaningless that "accommodation" really was - no major break with military policy would have been tolerated anyway.



Thanks. How did you find this?


It's the src attribute of the video element:

Your link ends in "995-BECOMING_CARDS.mp4", but the parent comment's link ends in "audio_eng_3.mp4".

Where can you find the link that ends in "audio_eng_3.mp4"?
