Okay, well that can be your startup's idea, meanwhile Autodesk will keep chugging along with CAD.

Well, it's largely non-addictive so not a huge cash cow for cartels like other drugs.

There are serious structural problems with American elections - it is not as simple as that.

Yes, those violent LSD trafficking organizations. The rhetoric is like straight out of the '80s and is not a "valid argument."

there seems to be an overabundance of negative sentiment towards deep learning among hn commentators, but whenever i hear the reasons behind the pessimism i'm usually unimpressed.
