Maybe you can get a better deal from the neighbor than from Comcast.

FYI interest rates were 4-6% during the dotcom boom.

It sounds like you are saying Stallman is supposed to be the more desirable boss. Is that really what you meant? If so, then I would pick a different public figure for your example. I have first hand experience with this, and, lol.

Are you suggesting it would be better if jobs requiring travel were illegal because they represent a loophole to discriminate against people with families?

Not sure why downvoted. Do people think this comment indicates you are an antivaxxer? Which part of the comment suggests that?

What’s the firm? You can find me at my username at gmail if you didn’t want to broadcast

Interesting comment, I might have thought it was the other way around.

This feels like an absolutely crucial distinction, across decades there is no positive feedback strong enough to keep individual beauty going up.

Do you want to get in on the ground floor of a fast growing, VC backed, robotic grasping company? Then join Pickle Robot! Founded by an all ages cast of MIT alum, we are teaching off-the-shelf robot arms how to pick up boxes and play tetris with them. https://player.vimeo.com/video/380525791/

At Pickle, our goal is to work alongside people in the very messy world of the loading dock, reducing the backbreaking human effort that goes into getting your online orders to your door.

Robots can now autonomously move themselves around; the next frontier is doing something useful with their hands when they get somewhere. If you are excited by walking/biking to work in Cambridge, MA to spend the day helping solve software, optimization, machine learning, and autonomy problems with an incredible team of engineers (half of us are women!) then visit https://www.picklerobot.com/jobs and send us a resume!

Fashion is a key word here. Most customers - especially commercial developers - have a shockingly neutral sense of taste. Here is the budget, build the most fashionable thing you can. I think loads of modern buildings are essentially the same type of creative product as corporate video music. https://youtu.be/AIxY_Y9TGWI

These buildings distress me as well. I always called them panel style before I learned of one-plus-five. I often imagine finding the developer, and looking at the building with them saying - look at what you left here! Bad dog!

Speaking of leading to the “insanely great” promised land, apple’s cofounder was an infamous crier...not sure how that fits into the worldview here.

I dropped my scrip when I realized a long morning sit has about the same effect but without the side effects of stimulants - which were considerable. Not to get down on stimulants, those can be amazing drugs.

Commercial lending has this component as well. Any real estate operator working at scale will have some experience with giving this or that project back to the bank.

I thought 50+ years ago you had operators punching in and out of calls on as as needed basis....

I work in a 10 person open office with lots of separation - 1200sqft, 7 would be better but there is no comparison to a 50 person bullpen with everyone within arms reach of another.

Pickle Robot Company - Cambridge, MA - onsite - interns ok - $[90,140],000 - [.25,2.0]%

https://www.picklerobot.com/

At Pickle, we are teaching robots how to pick up and stack boxes, automating several keys tasks along the e-commerce supply chain (like loading trucks).

We have reinforcement learning problems, machine vision problems, motion planning and optimization problems, and overall robotics startup problems that are super duper fun to work on along with millions in funding and extremely motivated customers.

If you are:

- Interested in the incredibly important and interesting problem of robotic grasping AND

- Excited to be one of the first 10 people at a VC backed startup currently comprised of 5 MIT alums AND

- are competent in Python AND

- skilled in any of the problem areas above OR

- you know anyone that might be hunting to be very early at a company like ours

The vast majority of human lifts that start from a belt or cramped shelf - in sorting, loading, and last mile. Humans will sometimes rotate the box to center the load over an edge or regrasp from the bottom - but any given box is definitely going to experience moments with no support from the bottom.

Those boxes are all the same size - Tetris on easy mode.

Pickle Robot is also working on this but with a fixed base and support for random box sizes/weights. We’ve just started scratching the surface of palletizing/loading with reinforcement learning.

If you are excited to come solve robotic box handling ping me! aj at picklerobot.com

So true. I had some wild, wild rides at night while wearing the patch (which I wore 23hrs and removed before exercise)

Isn’t imagenet an academic dataset? Thank Stanford and Princeton, not FANG

Right or wrong, pretty clearly your problem when you give money to someone and they lose it and are too broke to make you whole.

Tax reform proposal: the limited liability shield is incredibly inexpensive, bordering on free ($600/yr here in MA). On the other hand, it’s insanely valuable. Let’s generate tax revenue by charging fairly for this incredible gift to business operators. In lieu of system wide income taxes, we can charge a percentage of revenue in return for limited liability protection. Don’t like the tax? Chance it, and shareholders can take legal responsibility for the actions of their organizations.

Ctrl-F England and here you are. I’ve been searching for someone more informed than me that has compared and contrasted the two but haven’t found anything.

This is amazing work. Kudos and thanks!

Same - and I’ve recently upped my long runs to 12mi, which I do before eating anything. I’m sure there are limits where you need to fuel before or during an endurance activity, but I’m surprised and happy to not have found it yet.

Just to be clear, and I don’t think you said otherwise, that 5k number is only pedestrian deaths. In 2016 there were 37,000 fatalities from motor vehicle crashes.

The figure in the article is similarly reporting all automotive fatalities.
