My classes were like 30:1 or worse male to female. Gender gap being close will always look like hiring bias to me...

Only 20-25% of Apple's revenue is services. about 50% is iPhone about 8% for Mac and 8% for iPad. They're a hardware company.

common practice in manufacturing to use a paint pen on bolts in assembly lines to check and make sure nothing is backing out aftre maintenance/repair.

Patenting this for her portfolio maybe, I can design and print a folding plastic hanger in 1 piece in less than 24 hours. A mold not far behind if i reached out to a shop... you raise an interesting point I think gets asked in nearly every YC interview. How do you build your moat or stop any big players from competing with a very similar product. I think she actually misidentified the problem she was trying to solve. In her case, imo, her "secret sauce" would be the space saving clothes rack/furniture AND matching hangers. There is no solution with her hanger in normal clothes racks. so her hanger product actually serves no purpose.

AWS has this its an 18 wheeler called "snowmobile" literally a mini data center on wheels for transporting.

its very feasible with satellites and drones run by DARPA or USAF. Even helicopters use IR and "night vision". the sensing systems are expensive

the main cost is labor. Airbus probably has >1k people working on that project.

very easily. here is the lecture from my robotics course. Amazing professor. Dr. Sodemann was the best I had in my lifetime. https://robogrok.com/1-2-3_Cameras_and_Color.php

Its actually easier than you would expect! you can use a process in image processing called "thresholding" where you basically filter the RGB or color values. Its very common and a little "hack" on compute. Computers "look" at images or video by converting the camera data into large matrices. Red would be 1 matrix, blue another, green another. Instead of this, you typically convert it to black and white but you can do any color you want, depending what youre looking for. This reduces your compute from 3 matrixes to 1 and makes your functions exponentially faster. Someone can help me on O(n) notation lol.

new CEO... new priorities. How is the top automaker on top? making good moves.

Toyota has been correct that hybrids have been the best setup for the past 10 and next 10 years. Charging infra is catching up but a major bottleneck. Range too.

They can run all the models in the world but it only takes one misunderstood factor to underestimate the fallout. I think they want the other streaming services to follow suit (like Apple with the AUX) but if the others dont bite, Netflix screwed themselves. Most of their users feel betrayed at a time where competition is more than ever. You dont have to be smart to understand its not a good move.

true for most of calc and a lot of electrical. Institutions failed to discuss why you need to do things. so much of it is here is Taylor Series or integration by parts. but nobody really knew what the application for this stuff was. just follow some rules and plug in some numbers.

Thats not a good argument when you take the fact that Sweden has the same population as Michigan.

fwiw more swedish people live in the US than in Sweden.
