hard part is that cars should drive through shallow water... but how to know the depth?

given accurate mapping + realtime imaging, this should be possible albeit a Big Project(tm).


Assuming they can say the water ends at X and the water ends at Y could they not estimate the depth to a good degree of confidence? Roads have a degree of uniformity I would imagine makes this a solvable problem?

This probably includes "tradespend" - marketing dollars spent on retails and distributors to incentivize premier placement in retail/grocery channels.


This is CPG - things move much more slowly...


seems like an abuse of the word "global"


> seems like an abuse of the word "global"

The WHO language is "a public health emergency of international concern," but not "a pandemic emergency."


No, if it makes to a busy long distance travel hub, there is ample cause for global. Everywhere should contribute to containing this, out of pure self-interest if nothing else.


I always wondered if there was a relationship between this and the Oregon exploding whale in 1970 ? https://www.google.com/search?q=whale+explosion+oregon


Evidently it's from a true story. Luckily not actually thrown from a helicopter!

CLARKE BROWN: The turkey drop was actually a real incident. ... Although the turkeys were thrown off the back of a truck, as opposed to how it was depicted on the [show].


easy - just keep a small amount (small %) in that account.


If it doesn't look like a real account, you usually won't get whatever you're signing up for.


If it happens for enough people, then plaid is proved to be not as efficient or as useful as advertised, and adoption slows or reverses.


MFABT is about survival. Don't hate the player, hate the game.


Sir, this is not /r/linkedinlunatics/


Don't know any hackers who talk like this. More "if you don't like the rules, play a different game"


Por que no los dos? Some players seem very gleeful.


I will absolutely hate the players that chose the game and designed the rules.


I'm not sure what you're responding to.


only 38 CVEs - that's pretty good!

...so far !


meh - by this logic, every new tech and startup ever is a "scam"

The truth is that the AI companies are gambling that inference cost will continue following a hyper version of Moore's Law, e.g. Google TurboQuant.

The countervailing thesis is that frontier models are consuming more and more compute.

The deepest truth: you often don't need a frontier model to get commercially acceptable results from AI. Thus, bring on the true pricing! and I'll just switch models to something financially sustainable.


We work comes to mind. The math is fairly easy if we know what a company like OpenAI's datacenter commitments are, what their sub and token revenue is right now and what their operation costs are. This is very basic and if you had that info you would know exactly if we are in bubble or not. Waiting for the S-1's...


Counterintuitively, I see modern OPEC as mostly net-positive for the West because business and government most cherish stability which OPEC helps provides (emphasis on helps).
