Congratulations Matt (and @Logan_Liffick, @xamthorz). What a huge improvement over last year's design and site. Good luck with the program, may your service states be predictable and efficient. I'll be participating this year for the first time as a maintainer rather than as shadow hand :D

The unit indicates the precision at which the scale is represented. So for this, the distribution is probably not very useful at a resolution of 0m, 1m, and 2m and is normalized between the 0 and 1XXcm range.

You clearly don't know your automotive industry history.

Could you elaborate on this? What do you know about AI research and technical limitations of various components that leads you to be skeptical of the realization of autonomous vehicles?

I'm with you on predicting that if Apple is getting into it, it will be non-autonomous, but I'm curious as to how you have reached your other incredulous conclusion.

Pretty excited about the hidden TOR xmpp functionality in this version, since NAT won't ever be an issue.

It's not about the United States being the best, it's about them being the "reference standard" for life quality in developed nations. Everybody compares themselves to the US from economic metrics to quality of life, as one will do when a superpower has dominated geopolitical dynamics for as long as the US has.

I've discussed this at length with investors, entrepreneurs, and upper level management at large tech service agencies, and I'm not convinced that there is necessarily a bubble this time around. Accounting for the massive increase in bandwidth, CPU, GPU, smartphone ownership, software development practices, AI logic, and reliance on data compared to that of 1999, it's really a flawed model to draw 1:1 parallels in my opinion.

While there will be a shift at some point away from software/web entities and into manufacturing (to catch up meatspace to webspace), it will be these tech entities that will largely lead the charge, to enhance their own offerings. The example put forth in the article is as flawed as the logic it purports to criticize: "SAYING WE’RE NOT IN A BUBBLE BECAUSE IT’S NOT AS HIGH AS 1999 IS LIKE SAYING THAT KIM-JONG-UN IS NOT EVIL BECAUSE HE’S NOT HITLER."

Compared to 1999, the value drawn from these companies inside the "bubble" doesn't even remotely exist within the same qualitative and associative parameters.
