How much is a pint of beer? Pubs here in Singapore is not affordable at all. Going to one everyday after work will really land you in the poor house.

I believe you are referring to dividend investing? Investing in a portfolio of stocks that pay higher than average dividends. I'm not an expert in this, but dividend stocks don't normally have as high of a growth potential so the

If you are able to: 1. Narrow down your GPS coordinate to within the nearest 50 meter radius (really crappy GPS signal.) BUT 2. Are able to use the physical structures surrounding the user to pinpoint the actual precise GPS coordinate. Whic

Sounds like survivorship or selection bias to me.

I don't think that was the point of my argument. I don't agree that rich people should be above the law, but that doesn't mean I can't disagree with the way the punishments are structured. I'm all for punishing all

If you want the rich to not be above the law then the punishment for breaking said law should not be financial in nature. Any punishment that is financial in nature will ALWAYS be less impactful to the rich than to the poor. An improvement

Although that does not rule out the possibility that it stores data locally and only transmit the recorded payload (since the time of last transmission) with the next legitimate payload when the wake word is spoken. Not saying that they do

No, but then that's an issue with the way fines and punishments for said crimes are structured, not the fault of those who takes advantage of the loophole. There are 2 types of fines: fines that are meant to stop things from happening

I'm of the view that boring a tunnel is part of his bootstrap plan for bringing the same tech to Mars. It's likely that we will have to dig living spaces underground on Mars and bootstrapping better digging tech by finding a good

Is the 'labourer' not a 'consumer'? If all prices fall due to competitive pressure, all consumers and thus all 'labourers' benefit from cheaper goods. Sure, the 'labourer' may not receive extra compen

I don't think you can attribute his success to luck. Yes he did take risk and yes he was a sociopath in that he didn't care much about how much he had to emotionally torment others to get what he wanted. However if you want to com

I thought Google already has a product that does video calls across iOS and Android... Hangouts. I don't understand why they are doing this independently of a product they already have.

Self driving cars and public transportation are not mutually exclusive though. Think of how convenient it would be when buses and taxi operate just as easily at night as during the day. One of the reason why cabs are more expensive at night

Thanks for the detailed reply! I've been interested in the echo and wanted to get into it for a while so I'll definitely dig into flask-ask and try to get up and running with it.

This isn't absolutely true, if ideas are worthless without execution then corporations would never spend millions and millions inside their R&D departments creating inventions which may or may not come to market. The assumption tha

If you're allowed to "hurt the creator's feelings" then which creator would ever create? Jokes aside, your statement is only true under the assumption that the original idea is cheap and trivial, which is not true for a

I feel that there's a legitimate reasons to split them into those terms as there are some significant distinctions that could be made in terms of "level of intelligence" of the AI. For a much more detailed exploration of this

Based on all the commentaries, it seems that Lee Sedol was really not ahead during the game at any point during the game... and I think everybody has their answer regarding whether AlphaGo can perform in a Ko fight. That's a yes.
21.
by jamornh 11y ago
I really hope his performance isn't going to be affected by this loss, but I think that's a lot to ask of a person. 5-0 to AlphaGo is a big possibility at this point.

by jamornh 11y ago
Wow, Lee Sedol just resigned. First game goes to AlphaGo. I wasn't sure who would win the 5 matches, but I never expected AlphaGo to win the first game!

I imagine that they decided not to have $ limit as implementing that would be once you hit the $ limit, they will take your whole stack down completely. This includes anything you've had setup on AWS, which could be hundreds of instanc

That may be true, but I don't see how that is different with publicly run marketplaces. Regulators and civil servants also tend to only care about the majority rather than protecting the minority.

I wonder if the safest way to do this is to have a friend outside of the country help run the social media and you, as the insider, provide the information and direct the friend from within the country/city instead.

Thank you, yes that's a great first filter (standard vs non-standard docs.) Though, as you said, unfortunately it's rare for terms outside the valley to be standard so that might not be as helpful a criteria for founders outside t

In that case, what would be the key difference between a clean term vs a messy one? How would a first time founder tell the difference?
