The thing is: my mother bought an Apple device not to think about data, security, backups and all these "InternetS" things. She doesn't even know what hardware is. If she did, she might have bought an Android phone or somethi

Though : would that lunch be as expensive as $10 per month or would it be almost free like $0.1 per year ? I consider that to be pretty much free :)

Well, since it's distributed / decentralized you wouldn't depend on a particular company (or service). This way you wouldn't need to worry about it being shut down.

Do you need links or proofs if I tell you the sky is blue ? OCR has been around for decades. This approach is only interesting if it improves OCR via NN. Would love to learn more about this process (the improvement, not the training...).

"Plenty of people can deal with text better than they can spoken language" That's a joke right ?

I do agree with you. Preaching the converted doesn't require that much effort. Now to nuance a bit this over-simplistic sentence I just written: do you think I am interested in mathematics teaching? I did read the article anyway so you

There is something quite interesting about the form of the article. While Mr Minsky talks about teaching using the "deck of cards method" and why it might not be the best approach if the child wants to advance to more complex subj

Then meet me. I can also give you a list of french entrepreneurs that love Paris, France and hire a lot of people. Just look at Save, BlaBlaCar and Criteo. Also, remember that our social system is the biggest VC in Europe, allowing thousand

Don't learn anything specific but be sure to be ready to learn everything when needed. I had to learn linear algebra when I was a 3D engine developer, then I had to learn statistics (or maybe learn to understand the notations of it so

So ok, the website is cool and the technology is said to be something like 99.9999% better. This might be a stupid question but I'm no nuclear engineer not a specialist about chemistry or physics but I wonder why a such "beautiful

http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conseil_de_prud%27hommes_%28Fra... You have 7 months to fire your employee without even giving a reason. That seems fair enough to judge someone.

True, but humanitarian values do not need a last stand. So how do you discuss with someone being this radical with reasonable arguments? I don't feel like "you can't" is an answer :/

I read your articles and could add one myself but fail to find it : a published scientific paper about how smoking is good for your health because it makes you think about your health at some point (basically saying "don't trust e

Surely everybody knows an "English Lit expert" but even after reading this exquisite requiem to believers I still find it impossibly hard to argue with these people. It always feels like they are trying to make the last stand of h

Decisions exceeding 4000€ can be appealed but if paiement is due immediately it must mean that the court didn't had any doubts. Being French I completely agree with ajnin, it seems really fishy not to disclose the amount and the detail

French labour law is not what most people think, the employee does not have the rights to stay forever in a company. Yes it over protects the employee by restricting the power of the employer but both parties are still equals in front of Ju

Working in email right now I can tell that this data is canonical. The email age graph is probably the most interesting. As I interpret it, most people keep some very old mails for a period of time, mostly because they use it often. This mi

I agree with you but I think the point pretty much explains itself. Team play and willingness to produce the best your customer wants (and not the 3-star best) is exponentially efficient when you start to grow a team. However I wouldn'

@Swizec: That's for sure but I'm not talking about the benefits of getting good grades. I'm talking about a culture that oppresses children and fixates everything on grades when what counts is that your child is happy and int

I do not live in Palo Alto and I have never been to Silicon Valley either. I would like to ask what you think about this culture of over achievers telling their kids (via social pressure or directly) that they need good grades when all I ca

I think the author doesn't want to mix the different types of transportation. He allows them to be mixed but users won't because it's not convenient. That does not mean it is not good. In Paris we have a lot of street that ar

I'd bet that if you put another pillar behind each side of the pillar obstructing the exit you'll double the throughput.

True, but today's studios need the proper APIs and hardware to produce the games people want. Nintendo is failing to provide such basis for development and that's one its biggest mistakes.

During that time, Nintendo knew how to work with game studios. The color palette is one of the most powerful examples I remember, it encompasses the technical and the artistic domains, developers and designers. With the SNES they got even f
