slightly off topic, but my favorite example of the difference is that botanically, a green bean is a fruit.

The difference is between retailer and marketplace. Both Amazon and Costco are retailers, and both could use that knowledge to decide what products to self-source for better retail margins. Either way, still a retailer, but maybe also a man

It's actually a far superior mouthfeel! The eggwhite foam can have a texture that's hard to describe...dry? coarse? But the aquafaba is smooth (and no, no chickpea taste even though I was pretty worried about that the first time I

If you're trying to add a little more seasoning you will need to bake. You'd do this after a rough cleaning or cooking something watery or acidic. If you're just protecting it from ambient moisture just a teensy coat.

I'd say this is a difference of scale. Hinton's comments are meant to inspire and encourage _The Next Great Thing_. We could read the paper that broadly, but they seem to be addressing a more immediate local minima.

Not even close. But ugh, it is sort of getting there as far as what inflated titles are being offered/used. Going to be as watered down as today's "DBA" vs 20 years ago "DBA" at this rate.

"negative latency". That's a Jobs worthy dodge right there.

Yes, this is silly. And while they address it, and admit that using that field alone basically results in perfect classification, they don't do the logical thing and give this whole exercise up as pointless. Instead they just break the

In fact your whole post misses the grandparent post's point. Their point was that they _absolutely intend to do_ what you just said. However, very little of what we do as humans in conscious decisions. Most of it is autonomic pattern r

I find it weird that you consider it a workaround to put a Password Entry field inside a cell rather than using a "PasswordEntryCell", that's just simply nesting a control, in what platform don't we have have to do that?

My wife and I are currently back to using _none_ of these services for much the same reasons as everyone else (prep time, dirty dishes, small portion sizes) but I will say Blue Apron is by far the best of the lot. Their instructions made t

That's true, but it's done so that you can have simple 'if' logic to determine if something is available without having to recompile. If the interfaces were missing altogether the libraries wouldn't be portable fro

IF UWP will expand to do that it's not in any announced roadmap (and if it's being discussed internally I'm not privy to such things :) ) whereas Xamarin is doing it now(ish). You are right, the XAML is a bit different, th

Microsoft's Xamarin Forms 3.0 (stable release later this year) allows you to target Linux and Mac[1] and is very similar to UWP conceptually - UI written once, run anywhere. It's just that Xamarin's "anywhere" is m

I like both mcmansionhell.com AND my mcMansion. Weirdly, she calls out fake shutters that won't actually close over the windows, but my 1954 built, 1300sq ft previous house had those as well!

Wow. No. Just no. This comment is so wrong, to remotely compare any of these things to smoking and drinking. And even if we stipulate (even if , since the science is poor) that these are contributing factors, nobody thinks they incre
