Any form of hacking products to be more useful is a win in my books! I can see the multi room play being a nice thing on the odd occasion. Perhaps if I had kids and had to move around the house a bunch more or maybe if it operated as a home

I feel certain products just dont need apps or 'tech'. Speakers should not be 'smart' anymore than a powertool needs an app. It just turns products that should otherwise be long-lasting become disposable waste once softw

"Heavier vehicles are safer for their occupants.." Only if the other vehicle is smaller/lighter. SUVs were relatively uncommon when this perception of safety was established. Its now just something people like to tell themsel

What a crap business model these companies have if they rely on haggling over legal loopholes to operate. The business case, at best, is the status quo remains with material threats to their operations if these laws change. This is a lose-l

The BT46B being banned after a single race is a bit of an urban legend. It was not banned and was perfectly legal to run for the remainder of the year. The background to why Gordon Murray (designer) decided to go with the fan design was the

These sorts of articles dont reflect how the US gov funds itself: 1. Gov spends $100 and taxes $90 2. Commercial banks then have $10 (100-90) in reserves at the Fed 3. Treasury is required to sell $10 of bonds to keep its account at the Fed

Thats really impressive students are doing this. These tools are non-trivial to use and it shows great initiative from them. I could see these tools being used proactively as part of a creative writing class or helping people improve their

I am certain I'm in the wrong here but I'm struggling to understand Arrow's USP. I (originally) assumed it meant python/R users would be able to get around memory limitations when model-fitting but all the examples I&#x2

Totally agree there. It is not a replacement and it is trying to solve a different problem. I dont believe Julia contributers are lying awake at night upset that other languages exist and feel they need to put a stop to that. My point (put

'highfalutin ivory tower' is a great name for a band :D Naturally you are correct and I am wrong to dismiss it as unimportant. What I'm saying is that the majority of R/Python users today are not looking for ultimate spe

If we removed dplyr, then R scripts would absolutely scream so I find the speed argument for 'why switch to X' unconvincing. If users cared so deeply about speed, almost no one would be using tidyverse instead we'd all be

Fascinating! I hadn’t heard of this before. The closest I’ve found in the same vein is a 1994 article by Edward Luttwak who predicted another wave of fascism in the western world driven by economic decline of the middle class: “It is only m

Credit growth expands the money supply and stimulates economic growth so long as that expansion is ever increasing (park what that means practically). This mechanism of credit growth linked to some asset has been the largest driver of econo

Your solution is similar to mine, but I've gone a step further and put in times in my calendar when I'm available for questions/updates/requests etc. It doubles up as the admin-part of my day where I update my GTD-style

Many cities (in the USA) are mandated to have balanced budgets, limiting the size and scope of providing UBI-style benefits so something like this is difficult to role out without federal support. I’m pro a limited UBI but I don’t think it

The performance of DuckDB's predecessor, MonetDBLite, was/is stellar. DuckDB, when I tried in 6 months ago, was a bit behind in terms of csv parsing or aggregation by groups and didn't seem much faster than regular sqlite so

Yes, it’s a given you need to understand what the different techniques are doing and when to apply them, but rarely to the level of depth expected in these white-board interviews that are often just thinly-disguised ways to grill and belitt

I’ve worked in the field for 7 years now so not that long but long enough to build some heuristics. The best data scientists are just people who try to understand the ins and outs of business processes and look at problems with healthy susp
