Ah - you're in Europe. In the US that's a very common spam call to receive. It may come from a different number every time and the FCC and FTC (the relevant authorities) can't or won't stop it. I've had it in the mi

It was actually news to me recently that you could exploit massive parallelism for deep learning. Doesn't that require fancy networks? Or are you actually able to do a meaningful amount of work independently and synchronize less often?

Compare the numbers recycled or otherwise disposed of to the numbers reused. they will only reuse through their own channel so they can pick and choose the reuse that will strengthen their premium brand image. It's the same practice as

They're suing for damages (to them, Apple) because of reuse in lieu of recycling. Not including the money they made. Apple believes this act damaged them. The connection is laughably obvious. Unless Apple shipped unsecured private or p

That's a good point. I drive high mileage Toyotas because I love their legendary reliability. I've never bought a new car. I suppose the advancement of the technology is a bigger / faster factor in tech.

Recycling is better for your brand than the environment. Reuse dilutes your brand and reduces sales.

I got started in tech when I found a book about making your own computer games in my elementary school library. It was a little old even then: we had a 486 running DOS 6 and the book was, I would guess, 10 years old. It detailed how to save

If it really is widely known that a stock will definitely rise at some point in the future, that very quickly gets priced into the stock price now. It goes up gradually as confidence that it will go up goes up.

There's also the alternative of not punishing it at all, because they're just using a first-come-first-serve public resource when they have no better alternative. I don't need to sleep on a park bench because I own a house

I haven't done sales, but look up Brian G. Burns on LinkedIn. Dude does a lot of short videos on sales (many of them generally applicable, though) with really good insights. How to communicate better, move towards action, etc.

Or to put it another way, how do you like it when your content gets DMCA'd with no investigation and no recourse, because the enforcer doesn't want the liability and can't actually investigate? That's what would happen i

Actually I found a few years ago that DDG suddenly got really good at programming searches. I still use it for most queries and have better results than most HN comments, but I'd say I use !g the least at work.

Yeah see my previous comment, "But most of the arguments I hear against even considering the alternatives just sound like resistance to change for the sake of it." Poor arguments. If a lot of businesses start using Google Docs, sh

Your arguments apply to all office suites. Not free ones. I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest schools should do here.

I meant it to refer to both. I had a lot of peers who were using recent MacBooks and would often buy software for their projects. I know many of them used Microsoft Office on their macs too - but whether they could get that free of charge a

From the perspective of their decision, I mostly agree with you. But I hope it's not lost on anyone that if being a nurse is not a viable career, that will ultimately be far more disastrous than any other market inefficiencies.

No particular resource to recommend, though I first learned about it in a book by Radia Perlman, but BGP is a protocol you don't hear much about unless you work in networking, and is one of the key pieces in a lot of wide-scale outages

The difference is narcan keeps you a viable customer. Detox ends the relationship. Same reason someone might render medical aid to a slave. Doesn't make it a charitable act.

I've never encountered a real OCaml project or anyone who uses it in my career (same is true for Haskell). I have assumed these languages are a hobby for CS academics and get used for pet projects by their devotees. Not that that'
