All of this spending only has a chance of paying off if video generation takes off.

Is it a nation or the not corrupt at all FIFA that is the clown car?

I think one is worse than two. Only governments have the power of violence.

Watch any random sampling of body cam footage and you won't think the majority of violence was the cops. I'm amazed at the restraint honestly.

Now when I was a kid...getting thrown into a paddywagon while hammered after mouthing off to a cop was a right of passage.

I believe the JUPITER trial showed this. If I remember correctly you needed high inflammation for high ldl to matter in cardiovascular events.

Well pre COVID, Silicon Valley had one of the highest non-vaccination rates amount kids in day-care. So at least then it wasn't a red/blue thing at all.

Is the poor grammar in this title ironic or just poor?

Yeah but that 15% food revenue growth might have gotten someone a bonus internally that year...

Exactly. Case in point: I worked on an investment team that had a product that at the time would close at $2b in assets. We were top 5% on 1/3yr performance, so we had incoming demand. The dept head was paid on sales per calendar year, so he forced us to accept the last $300m of assets in December at 0.60% fee. Our average fee on the existing $1.7b? 1.25%. If we had waited for the other pipeline biz to close in Jan-March, it would have been at least 1% fee. Many dumb buisness decisions are just logical decisions for a individual based on incentives that you can't see. They happen to be at odds with the goals of the firm as a whole.

I was in investment management for a us bank - here the requirement is all officers must take 5 consecutive days off to ensure at least one weekend is covered. Considering I never touched money, it was one of those fun perks of working for a bank, like taking 2 hours of elder abuse classes for regulations in a state I didn't live nor work in, and being tested yearly all about money laundering laws and regulations.

Weather is not rare.

This algorithm is going to have speed,acceleration, traction, steering vs direction as some of the inputs. A good rainstorm or snowstorm is going to tough to differentiate from drunk or high driving. Those aren't edge cases. And how long then will the car decide you need a time out? 5 mins? 1 hiur? 4 hours? There is no way this doesn't get pushed back from a 2026 implementation anyway. You can't just drop this in when those model year cars are almost fully designed by now
