It's going to easily pass WoW and CoD...if they get it working better fast enough. Actually, scratch that. At this point all they need to do is show an intense commitment to daily improvements. They don't need to solve everything

The key thing is knowing when to turn around. I've taken some drives out into the Mojave and Death Valley that weren't all that smart in a 2wd sedan, but I also turned around the instant the road made me feel uncomfortable. And I

"His own skill as an author does not change that." Would you say the same thing about an excellent coder recommending elegant code they didn't write?

Yes, those absurd tax environments are in no way created by companies and their money. Not at all.

Give him enough fish so that food isn't a concern and see what else he does with his time. That's the point of this project.

PHP does suck. So much bad code written in such an awful language. And yet this morning I'm earning yet another paycheck digging deep into PHP.

It's like in the olden 80s and early 90s when workstations/minis cost a similar amount. And that's in unadjusted dollars.

Millennials are just at their moment in the marketing spotlight. Happens to every generation. As a whole they're at the traditional age when they'd be forming brand affinities which would last a lifetime, so companies are after t

I've always loved CAA's website (the most powerful agency in Hollywood). http://www.caa.com/ At a certain level, you don't really need a website.

It's interesting that the HN community thinks this comment should be downvoted. There's nothing wrong with it in any way.

So Google compensated the publishers? Are you sure???

by Gargoyle 11y ago
Well, no. Google did not in fact purchase a copy of the book they're making money on. So you do think Google should make billions from the minds of others without compensation. Before you accuse me of hyberbole, you used the term &quot

Thanks for the link to the paper, I'll comment on what I find to be relevant in it in case it is of use to others. There is a part re Sega v Accolade that brings up the interesting sub-topic of "intermediate copying", which i

Sure, but that's not the only factor in my thought experiment. For example, "The third factor assesses the amount and substantiality of the copyrighted work that has been used. In general, the less that is used in relation to the

Is it fair use when Google uses an entire scanned work in a machine learning project that leads to commercial gain? That to me is a far trickier question...
