Bookings are 10B, not revenue -- that's what the passengers pay; stated revenue from the doc was 2B, which is what Uber keeps (rest goes to drivers). But your larger point is well-taken, even at that number, the valuation of Uber is

I worked (and studied) in Singapore for a while. As an engineer for a tech company, you get paid very little compared to cost of living. In my graduating class, most EE+CS folks I know who are still in Singapore became bankers, government e

C&H is about imagination, not loneliness. Imagination is an intrinsic and essential part of the human experience, especially in childhood, and to call it a 'coping mechanism' is completely missing the point. Bill Watterson&#x2

It actually takes a lot more to have a career in the sciences; the field is extremely competitive. More so than getting a job at Google or Facebook. I applied for a lot of computational biology post-docs (having a PhD in the field), and bec

This may also be an artifact that in terms of "intelligence" we have focused mostly on supervised learning as opposed to unsupervised learning; recent reversals in this trend have been shown to be surprisingly powerful [1]. Consider this: W

This is a dramatized version of the books. It is not an 'audiobook' version. I just started listening to it, and it has the Encyclopedia Galactica entries -- but other than that, seems to have no other narrative -- it's just the dialogue be
