It's millennials moving out of cities into the suburbs and deciding they need a car. Guess what the bestselling car in the US? Toyota RAV4.

You're pretty much hosed for any FAANG leetcode interviews, though. Unless you're a superstar performer otherwise.

What?

That's just a null result from attempting to prove that life elsewhere does exist.

You should be paying (or taking some other action) to extricate ads from your life as much as possible.

More likely, we're in a dual economy. Even McDonalds is noticing it: https://www.nbcnews.com/business/consumer/mcdonalds-high-pri... For the next 50 years or so, we hav…

FYI the shooter has received $1.2m in donations for his defense fund, and counting.

Saw you were a biologist. Would you be ok if I said, "Creationism got life started, but after that, we evolved via random mutations..."? The "equal transit time" is the same as a s…

Imagine an airfoil with a super tall square block on top of it. Due to equal transit time, the particles must accelerate to relativistic speeds to reach the end to rejoin the lower surface particles, …

Yeah, it's like asking a car driver (even a professional driver) to explain the Otto cycle. Enduser vs. engineer.
comment
It's the "same amount of time" part that is blatantly wrong. Yes geometry has an effect but there is zero reason to believe leading edge particles, at the same time point, must rejoin a…

Holy shit that is wrong. That's what happens when you get software, ML engineers who think they know everything.

It will just be like countries burning piles of money until one runs out.

I wonder if valve could just become a bank or create its own credit card without these rules.

I hope she doesn't burn out and move into the woods like Grothendieck, Kaczynski,
