Hi Jasper,

Hope this email finds you well. I’m Faye, a sourcing recruiter from Baidu Autonomous Driving team. I found your profile on LinkedIn. It looks like you are doing some amazing work at ############. I bet everything is going well for you; however, I do want to introduce our opportunity to you.

With the release of our Apollo v2.5(and soon v3.0), we are growing rapidly and focusing more on building an advanced autonomous driving simulation system. We are currently looking for a seasoned 3D tools guru to join as one of the founding members in the team.

He or she will use a game-engine based technology and create tools to efficiently author a virtual world with interesting road networks that can faithfully and reliably reproduce real-world driving behaviors in a wide range of situations and scenarios and closely collaborate with stakeholders like world builders and engineers in other autonomous driving teams. The position is located in the Bay Area (Sunnyvale, CA). Here is the job description for your reference

im the guy whose professional title is "world builder" on the self-driving car team

I wish I could put my tiny hu-mon in Scouts, I had a decent time in it and he's an outdoorsy kid (I was not) so he'd probably like it.

But BSA chose to let Trump get all Nurembergy on them at the jamboree. So, welp,

Yeah, but since FDR the speeches had gone more-or-less: "Blah blah blah, Boy Scouts are an important institution in American society and an important part of our shared culture, blah blah blah" and Trump's ...didn't go quite like that.

they’re explicitly nonpartisan and while trump shat all over that (while he got booed lol) instead of giving an inspirational, civic-minded speech, he also mocked obama and worked in a story about an orgy on a yacht

By not revoking the invitation BSA perpetuated the delusion that Trump is somehow "normal" or "acceptable". They became a prop for the Trumpite drama.

And it's not like they weren't already on pretty loving thin ice, TBH.

their response was that self driving cars would be able to drive closer to each other and that would alleviate traffic

Do you actually think that the head of the Boy Scouts of America can go up in front and wave his arms and be like "all right mr. president, that's it, we're done here"

Oh you reminded me of one other thing I learned in the scouts: the word "human being." One of the other boys called everybody faggots and fags all the time and I had no idea what it meant (age 11). I assumed it was just some generic insult like "dumbass." So once on a camping trip I called him a fag and he hit the loving roof and demanded to know why I had called him that and tried to choke me to death.

I wonder if there was something more complicated going on there
