India has the same population as all of Europe, all of North America and all of Russia combined.
Tally up the rapes of these two continents and that massive country, and you’ll likely get similar numbers of reports.
It’s a classic case of “by country is not by capita”.
That’s like a whopping 0.01% of dog owners.
Read the rest:
Searchers had been using bloodhounds, officers on horseback, drones and helicopters in their hunt for Hardin since he escaped nearly two weeks ago on May 25.
Apparently, neither the escapee nor his hunters are very fast walkers. That 30min walk took the helicopters two weeks.
Again someone who thinks that public policies are natural laws…
NASA could do and did do what SpaceX is doing now, but they are beholden to the government and if the government says “we don’t do that for ideologigal reasons” then it doesn’t matter what can be done.
In almost any other county, calling the police won’t get anyone hurt.
In my country the dispatcher would probably even just send a social worker instead of police.
Thanks for the summary! That sounds freaky!
Well, the trade-off between trusting a huge corporation or a single dude on the internet.
What exactly happened there? It was the big thing, then I didn’t use it for a month or so and then it was gone.
In a company I used to worked in, they hired a new guy for our team. Contract was signed, he resigned from his last position. New budget comes in a week before he was supposed to start, and his position was cut.
He was basically let go before he started working for us.
Even if you make them in large quantities, material cost alone will be at least €50k. You will need a skilled operator nearby, and constant maintainance, and if you lose even one per year, a regular underpaid human worker will be much cheaper.
These things are pure marketing devices to pacify investors, generate headlines and make unions and workers afraid.
Because it’s not real. It’s purely for marketing, not for actual wide-spread implementation.
Even in the best of cases, even factoring in economy of scale and all that, a robot like that will cost upwards of €50k at least, probably closer to double that, will require constant maintainance, and the risk of vandalism or accidental damage is really high. And you’ll likely need a (skilled) human operator nearby anyway, because the delivery vehicle doesn’t drive itself.
The purpose of projects like this is marketing and public perception.
This robot is not meant to ever go mainstream. Maybe there will be a handful of routes where they will be implemented for marketing purposes, but like drone delivery and similar gimmicks, it won’t beat a criminally underpaid delivery human on price, and that’s the only metric that counts for a company like Amazon.
“Prescription glasses” only mean “glasses with optical properties”, so glasses that actually do anything with focus, as opposed to e.g. non-prescription sunglasses or non-prescription accessory glasses that people wear to look smart or something.
It doesn’t mean you need a prescription for them.
(That said: in some countries you need a prescription for your prescription glasses if you want your health insurance to pay for them.)
Goes to show: in many cases the hireing process is about dumb luck and nothing else. For both sides.
Not saying it necessarily belongs there, just that I saw it there.
Then again it was in a display about the evolution of consumer tech, and there were some newer smartphones there too, so I guess it did fit well into that.
A friend of mine was applying for a job where they required “at least 5 years knowledge with Angular version X.Y.Z” (can’t remember the exact version, but they asked for all three numbers).
He said “I’ve got 7 years of knowledge with version X-2 to X+2”.
The HR person was like “But you don’t have 5 years of knowledge with version X.Y.Z, so you don’t fit for the job”.
The real fun part was that version X.Y.Z had only been out for two years at that time.
I’ve seen a 3DS in the Technical Museum in Vienna.
If JS is chaotic neutral, what then is chaotic evil?
All I’m saying is
"10" + 1 => "101"
"10" - 1 => 9
"a" - "b" => NaN
I recently joined a team that had no backender for a year and the frontenders maintained the backend. In this case the image totally applies.
Might have been the case 17 years ago. In the mean time Buckley grew up, became a really decent guy and CAD 2.0 is a really good read.
Thinking that loss is still a relevant critique of Buckley or his work just means you are getting old and haven’t updated your prejudices in almost 2 decades.
People posting loss memes almost qualify for an “ok boomer” by now.
