Reminds me of http://www.nina4airbnb.com/ who made an extensive analysis of where airbnb should target next in an attempt to convince airbnb to hire her. After her website went viral, she did eventually get an interview wit

Quite interesting how the authors even mention that this strategy is very economically viable. From the paper: 'Assuming a selling price of $2 per 1,000 solved captchas, our token harvesting attack could accrue $104 - $110 daily, per h

The author did compare their performance with captcha-solving services. His accuracy is comparable to the service with no extra cost to the attacker. From the paper: "We compare our performance to that of Decaptcher, the (self-reported

A little hard to take seriously considering the author works for Canonical. Even so the author didn't seem very excited about it, it felt more like an acceptable phone and not that it's better than Android or iOS.

I wonder how much faster the new Tesla P100 is compared to the Tesla K40 in training neural networks. The K40s were the best available GPUs for training deep neural networks.

I thought Jeff Dean was the 'Chuck Norris' of programming. He designed (with others) a lot of Google's biggest infrastructure projects as well as multiple iterations of the main search infrastructure. Among others, the proje

I highly doubt this has to do with cover letters. From Google's Job FAQ: "Cover letters are optional, and applications with them are not preferred over those without. We recommend using a cover letter only to bring up anything tha
