Just wanted to say: I'm thoroughly impressed with how far in the weeds you're replying in this comment section. I'm learning a lot from the threads.

Can you talk a little more about worksheets? I'm not familiar with scala worsheets at all. Follow-up: How do you transition to productionizing your code after iterating in them?

I love the idea of a positive (yet critical) feedback loop instead of the tone on display here.

Your comment, among the sea of others, got through and made some sense to me. My follow-up questions are: Does that negate the truthfulness of LeCun's response? What would Gebru rather he do or say? I feel like I can't tell what t

I was surprised to see Gab as a top reply to one of his tweets. Gab has a verified Twitter account, and it was offering itself as an alternative to the 'censorship'. I don't find it surprising, but do find it sad. Few people

I recently discovered: https://github.com/foxcpp/maddy It takes a lot of the legwork out. Obviously you're referring to the likelihood of a major email provider marking you as spam, which is pretty likely if you&#

From that page, it looks like odd lots are still transacted damn near the same rate. '1 to 2 basis points' off would be .01-.02% extra

Especially because it's not the default weather app on any Android device. Users have to seek it out. They're not punishing every android user, just the ones that have already supported the application they've purchased. It&#

Does "N=16" mean they've approved this test after such limited testing? I think my high school stats class told me not to trust studies where N < 30.

As a fan of nginx, I really liked your comment. In sleuthing after reading I came across this: https://learn.hashicorp.com/consul/integrations/nginx-consul... It appears that if the consul client has the right per

.NET core has been a godsend in making .NET an interoperable option for cloud architectures. I'm continually impressed with the open source embrace from Microsoft.

I believe their net revenue was still +40%. I think a slowing in subscriber growth could prove to be temporary. In general, they'd have to lose shareholder/board confidence in company direction, which won't happen anytime soo

I'm neither of the previous posters, but I'm quite happy with my recent purchase of Brooklinen sheets. I was referred by a roommate who also is a happy customer. I got my mom some pillows from there for Mother's Day as well.

I know this is just anecdotal, but my friends and I do heavily use Hangouts. It doesn't have enough functionality on its own, but I've augmented our experience with a chatbot powered by https://github.com/hangoutsb

This will end up making facebook a more expensive place to advertise, but I doubt advertisers would stop given how much screen-time facebook gets per user per day. So really this is an overall benefit for FB, because people will spend more

In addition to film, I highly recommend the book published by the whistleblower Harry Markopolos, "No One Would Listen".[0] He spent the better part of a decade trying to alert the SEC to what he found. It was certainly a risky en

They've gone from 28 million to 71 million premium subscribers in 3 years with a declining, single digit, churn rate. I'm impressed. I'm a happy Spotify customer, I hope they continue their growth and become a pillar of the m

Do you think there's a market for "Cloud Meteorologists"?

Not discrediting you, but can we get a source for any of those declarations?

Take me back to K-maps and XOR gates. At the time I remember struggling with them, but now I look back on the experience fondly.

Have you ever had a post that ended up being liked by an odd subset of your Facebook friends? I certainly have had posts, that for some reason, only my high school friends end up liking. I know this is only another anecdote and real data wo

This reads like it was written by a person on the hackathon team, who truly believed in his project. I sincerely doubt those two things were all the perks provided. To me, he's just trying to paint a picture filled with drive. One wher
