Sorry, don't understand your last sentence. It seems to contradict the paragraph before -- ML as a service seems a terrible idea for the reasons you just listed (among others). What's "Hella Neat" about that?

Didn't work on me. I didn't understand what the "visual effect" is supposed to be until I read the description. I still see animated 2D GIFs with bars over them (=no real difference if the bars were removed).

People who never tried, imagine creating a new product (not to say a "disruptive" product) is a simple A-B-C process: * talk to potential customers * do it! * PROFIT Whereas unless you are an expert yourself in the domain you&#x27

Only a question of time before the Machine Learning wave arrived at the arguably least suited--but certainly the most popular--platform! There's money to be made with this combination. The field is ripe. Good write up too.

Gentlemen, gentlemen. ElasticSearch sits on top of MASSIVE investment money (closed series B). Your worries about developers needing a "second job" are not substantiated. This is not an evening hobby project of a starving develope

"Her" may captivate non-techies and romantic liberal arts majors. But "HUMAN AI AROUND THE CORNER!" must leave anyone who knows anything about AI smiling benevolently. The guy in the article who says we're basically

Why do you assume working on his project doesn't bring him happiness? Also, though I'm sure you are well-meaning, advising strangers how they ought to live their life makes you sound like a prick.

OP basically says people in Europe look at you weird for starting a business. Failing the business afterward is a social tragedy. It's about social/peer pressure. Having lived in many countries across Europe, I can attest. Some co

"Terrible at geography" is not binary state; it may well be true that Americans (on average) are worse than most others, while having absolutely brilliant scholars. High standard deviation. Plus I believe the real stereotype of Am

<meta-comment on meta-golf> Judging by the amount of fawning here, this guy must be a HN celebrity. Interesting post nevertheless! I can only hope, one day, I'd be writing and publishing joyful little hacks like this, to such gen

Wrong, the authors do have a choice. Many choices, in fact. Including & not limited to: raising awareness of Elsevier's reprehensible practices, writing blogs, commenting on online forums. Lobbying various institutions. Not signing

TLDR: Primarily looks for a good market. Without a market, fund only if founder top 0.01% (whatever that is). An insightful, actionable blog post. A true gem in the HN treasury.

Not bad as an introductory text, but the code could use some love. Disappointing when it says "programmer's" in the title. Ever heard of PEP8 for Python coding style? List comprehensions? I'm afraid this falls in no man&

"You're there now doing the thing on paper. You're not killing the goose, you're just producing an egg. So I don't worry about inspiration, or anything like that. It's a matter of just sitting down and working.
