I have a noob question if someone can answer it. It seems to me that mining is a computationally wasteful exercise. Why don't crypto-currencies just reward the computations needed to keep and confirm transactions, which is actually an econ

The right thing for Sendgrid to do was to try to appear conciliatory to the person who just lost a job. If Adria was not ready to do that, then Sendgrid had to fire her. Similarly, the Playhaven dev, had he been given a chance needed to apo

I think there are problems other than inconvenience. You might have a job or property or family within the US. Being denied entry without the protection of due process where you are innocent till proven guilty can be a BIG deal.

I think the problem is that some (most?) people are born with a disadvantage, not that the he has some advantages. I don't see how giving anything up is going to do any good.

Perhaps Paul's philosophy is perceived with some of the same adjectives by some other people. I don't want to start a religious or philosophical flame-war on HN so I will just leave it at that. I come here to get information on things that

This. I think this form of non-judicial "punishment" and its effects in terms of people being afraid and hence modifying their behavior can be a form of censorship and political repression that is rarely discussed. This also has a bearing o

So he is saying that you don't need to store all the data, just its most common learnt representations. Isn't that a fancy way of saying online learning or summary statistics?

And where does ITA get it's data. I assume there must be a few competing standards, and the airlines use one of them to give their data to ITA. Why can't other companies get the data directly from the airlines?

I agree. I wonder if it is possible to get hired as a data scientist as easily if you haven't worked on big data before. Or, I guess programmers and engineers could start using the big data tools even though they are not needed. Has anyone

But these things are problems and need to be fixed. If you are the right kind of Indian, NRI, or foreigner you'd be fleeced of money, time, and happiness, and you'd get the hell out of the situation as soon as you can. If you are, say Musli
