I am being in such a team and I tell you this is great. We are pretty flat, you can pick whatever title you want on your resume but here we are all engineers. My manager insists that he usually cannot make better decisions than we do, becau

I think you missed the point that we need an open pricing system. Sure you are willing to pay $200 for that sling but others might decide differently if they see the price beforehand!

Totally agree. Although this is totally disgraceful, this is a very smart act from Saudi Arabia government I have to say!

The 500e I had, I think 2014 version, had a serious reliability issue. Its electric system failed me multiple times. One time the car just suddenly stalled in the middle of the San Mateo bridge. I love the look of the car, but maybe the fac

Natural consequences: What if the child doesn't care about consequence, or what if he/she likes the consequence? In the example of being late for school, the child could consider it as a reward, that he/she doesn't have

Did I read it right: Nexus Player is in the list of OTA update? I thought the device is dead? Anyone has a link of Nougat for Android TV?

I have put quite a bit of similar effort to image retrieval using Elasticsearch before. While it is nice and convenient, what I found was that Elastic Search is too slow for larger scale (million of Images with dictionary of millions visual

There're ton more local features proposed since SIFT but SIFT, arguably, still among the best. Deep feature, on the other hand, is more like global feature. May be a combination of these two could give the best?

One thing I find annoying is that interviewers expect you to think out loud "continuously". If I stop talking for 30s or 1 minute, I am in trouble. That is not applicable to everyone. I myself feel more confident to think in silen

May be it's not 90% but I have a friend who experienced the same thing, she gave up after 2 weeks once she realized the lie. I honestly think the US government is lazy in this aspect. It's not that hard to track down those consul

Not sure why it is not mentioned enough in media coverage, but one big reason of the H1B visa shortage is the mass applications from consultancy companies (all I know are Indian based, but there might be more). There was a report that these

I worked for a company working on audio fingerprinting before (as well as image/video). I have to say it's great that we have a song (audio) recognition system that works pretty well, but the business never takes off. May be it&#x

The switching button might not be that convenient and comfortable. Why not just a press button and 3 LEDs? You press one, it switches the LEDs?

May be they need money for the Nest deal (just kidding). Very strange to think of the recent Nest acquisition and this sale! Someone opens my eyes please!

I thought of the same idea. May be removing/replacing a whole set of battery is not that simple.
