I actually totally agree with this. I learned how to program in R and found it to be quite wonderful to use as a noob. As you say, shit just works. If you think you should be able to do an operation, you typically can. To this day I still p

I don't think anyone believes the hype here. The parent was simply pointing out that it's pathetic that this marketing vector for Domino's is actually viable and value adding to some extent, and I agree with them.

They talk to other wealthy individuals. People with a lot of money generally have fairly small circles of friends because it becomes very hard to trust peoples' motives. Most of the people who approach you want access, money, status, o

I totally agree, but it's not like this data is hidden. It would be relatively straight forward to monitor how many Airbnb units operate at any given time just by looking at the site repeatedly, and you could approximate how many renta

I can't speak to this problem in tourist destinations or Europe generally as I don't have enough data to have an opinion, but I frequently see Airbnb blamed for high housing costs in some American cities and it strikes me as being

Similarly, a lot of employees don't really know what the global mission of the company is or what their strategic interests are. I've definitely seen leaders fail to clearly communicate this. When that happens, people fall back to

I agree that companies should try to help all of their employees grow and thrive, that people don't have the same cultural starting conditions, and that company led efforts need to be tailored differently for different people / gr

I'm confused on what you mean by this. Businesses don't exist to hire and pay people, and the value a business generates for users has little to do with who they hire as long as a high quality product or service is being outputted

> That leads to a lot of group think, and products that are built for a very small subset of users — so there is real business value in diversity. I am not sure this is true to the extent that people want it to be. You see the main benef

Could drones be used to fire nets at the birds? The birds could be encapsulated so they can't fly away and then either left to starve to death or be picked up for execution later.

No, it's contingent on what exactly the classifier does and how independent of third party clinical judgement it is. The more hands off the clinician is, the more dangerous a false negative is, and the more time sensitive the result is

What it entails depends on the product. FDA has 2 regulatory classes which require a premarket notification, class 2 and class 3. Class 2 submissions generally require you to comply with a set of software development standards governing tes

That is not like Amazon. Typically their customer support is almost unreasonably good. I've gotten refunds and perks without even asking for them on support calls.
