I feel like this massively overstates the advantages of an AWS to satellite link. They aren’t going to put tiny regions in space, so it’s just about data transit. Nobody would suggest AWS should start a cell phone company or fiber ISP just

Which projects do you think have particularly high quality and easy to work with data? I was using that but it’s so messy...

Something like sendgrid?

I haven’t fully explored their portal. However I find it really hard to square with other data, such as a 90% reduction in NYC subway data. https://iquantny.tumblr.com/post/616488508041936896/nyc-subw...

This is a cool article, and I appreciate the actual testing. I also heartily recommend this implementation using conceptnet embeddings. https://github.com/commonsense/codenames Grab the latest mini.h5 and go. https:&#

I’m pretty sure iPhones do put it in. You should exif dump an iPhone XS image. INSANE what’s in there.

The orgo night performance is one of the big events of the semester. Every student knows when and where it is, so nobody will be surprised or pranked. As others have said, this is a big loss for what little school community there is, and is

Actually need to go PA to right near OAK to SFO within just a few hours in the next few days. If they had a 9:30pm OAK->SFO I would have probably booked it at that price. $215 compared to $100 with Lyft...

I've been enjoying some minor woodworking as a purely hobby. I agree, it's great fun, and I think there is some common idea along with building software. Wondering what you've found to be a reasonable amount of income vs work

It's strangely beautiful, especially for something educational. A slow moving version of the animations as a wallpaper would be cool.

From the source article: Employing a catalyst made of copper nanoparticles embedded in spikes of carbon, the team found that electricity applied at just 1.2 volts was sufficient to convert CO2 suspended in water into ethanol. From the abstr

It's not that the cell is small. It's that it has a single respondent representing it, so his weight is increased enough to be the equivalent of 30 respondents.

Yup, that's literally the definition of VCs. Instead of a single LP having to choose one startup to invest their $10M into, they buy shares in the dozens of startups that the VC then invests in. The risk and reward is shared between al

Gordon, Zettelmeyer, Bhargava, and Chapsky "found some evidence that PSA’s as controls would lead an advertiser to draw the incorrect conclusion about the true lift of an ad campaign."[1] [1] You can't tell me not to cite! ;)

Quite true for google. Less (but still kinda) for Facebook IME.

Web conversations like this are terrible. Clicks are a very small part of what advertisers are buying, even if that's how it's measured. Just like sometimes when you're at a cafe you buy a cup of coffee, but actually what you

No, steam heat is still quite common in NYC. It's just those valves work approximately 0% of the time.

Interesting. They talk about plain old Metropolis Hastings, which is pretty questionable. Anyone excited about this, I highly recommend checking out Stan; it's under active development, actually works with real problems, and is used in

This is an aside, but I've noticed a lot of the best Ars Technica content is coming out of their UK arm lately.

It's definitely done. A traditional method is that the longer you've been at a place, the more vacation you earn. Another technique I've seen is to have a divide, eg "VP and above get an extra 5 days per year." Face

I interned at Facebook a few years ago, so I'll speculate with an ounce of information. There's a lot of openness, including around issues like this, at the company. There's weekly all hands meetings, where a developer could

Not just may, they definitely will be making investments they'd rather not because of signaling. They obviously think that's a worthwhile trade for the upside on the next Dropbox.

I feel like I've read literally this exact subthread on HN twice before. Am I going insane?
