Pick randomly a list of top papers in ML, for example https://www.kdnuggets.com/2020/01/top-10-ai-ml-articles-to-k... . Most (if not all) all of them have no "positive" or "negative" tone, as fa

IMHO, a scientist capable of striking any tone in their work, positive or negative, is doing marketing / PR work rather than science. There's nothing wrong with that. Just like any other member of society, a scientist may want to

> funky stuff in the ground to bypass a lot of the usual install friction. Once it was discovered, Zoom's installation process became a little bit slower. Why couldn't they keep it even after it was discovered?

How is it that Zoom became so popular despite numerous large tech firms offering competing products?

If you have a few minutes, would you mind giving some technical overview of what's going on?

The quality of comments in this thread is atrocious. I wonder what makes so many presumably technically trained people, to make confident claims about topics on which they very clearly have no bloody clue.

The article seems somewhat on the fluff-and-feathers side. It doesn't really explain anything. The only non-obvious thing it says is: > Robinhood receives a fixed rate per spread (vs. a fixed rate per share by the other eBrokers). R

ELI5: why exactly did the clients get bad execution? Does sending order flow to trading firms in itself cause unfavorable execution? Or did the trading firms treat order flow from RH differently than from other sources? Or is it something e

There's no doubt that this is a politically motivated case. As many people pointed out, these are the same states that tried to overturn election results. There's no way this is a coincidence. After all, Google is a powerful anti-

Do I understand correctly that the 1-second delay existed in both AMP and non-AMP case? And later, someone found a way to remove the 1-second delay for AMP since it could be done without a negative UI impact (unlike for the non-AMP case)?

Oh I meant no one benefited from them releasing on old-gen consoles. I wonder if perhaps they were contractually not allowed to release only PC + next-gen consoles, and delay old-gen consoles?

"Easier for ask for forgiveness than permission": perhaps, but it's not obvious to me. One the one hand, a further delay risks losing out a big part of sales. Dedicated fans will buy anyway, but presumably a large fraction of

Investors don't make money from sales. They just lost 30% of their investment. Literally no one benefited from this.

by _cs2017_ 6y ago
I'd think this was worse for the investors than not releasing in December and delaying until ~March? Stock price down over 30%.

Wasn't it obvious to anyone who play-tested on last-gen consoles that the game is nearly unplayable and so will receive horrendous reviews? Presumably CDPR employees are not afraid to convey such bad news to the management. So why did

Curious why you're downvoted. So people think the FTC is not independent? I wasn't sure about it myself, but with both Democrats voting in favor, this doesn't seem to be pushed through by Trump.

by _cs2017_ 6y ago
I wonder how Trump reconciles this with his promise to severely reduce regulation? If it was initiated by Congress, it would not be surprising: the GOP-controlled Senate is not nearly as anti-regulation as Trump. (And certainly the Democrac

Was this outcome that difficult to predict based on the hiring interviews, and based on prior articles and public statements? In other words, would this come as a surprise to a half decent hiring manager and hiring committee?

Do you think the employer weren't aware they were hiring an activist?

Despite what both sides claim, IMHO papers like this are primarily PR, ideology, and politics, rather than science and technology. This is akin to a speech writer working for a politician, writing a piece that disagrees with the party platf

I'm hesitating about whether I agree or disagree with you. I also do not like distasteful / disrespectful comments; and I can understand that people prefer privacy. However, this was simple factual information. I'm not sure k

I'm trying to use Google Photos but find it hard to manage albums. Like I have a few thousand photos, I want to find all the ones that I didn't assign to albums yet. Doesn't seem like there's a way to do so. I also want

This study seems to be quite badly designed. The only two "conspiracy theories" being analyzed are the disbelief in climate change and the distrust of officialdom (which includes media and politicians). Scientists disagree with ea

Yeah, every one of us has their own prior (in this case, on how likely it is that big corp is at fault versus a small business owner is at fault). We then update our priors based on our interpretation of available information. Both of these

The fact that it's hard to get Google customer service to respond is a well-known and unfortunate problem. That does not mean it's ok to call people who try to help, "liars". I don't know how much Walter was "a

I did come to the same conclusion, with the complaint itself as my sole source of information. It is unfortunate that this type of arguments gain a lot of popularity, even among technical readers. Of course, it is also possible that the com

In my eyes, headers such as "Matt Cutts lies" loses a lot of credibility for Walter (the author of the complaint). IMHO, Matt Cutts (when he was at Google) had no incentive to lie to anyone, as he could simply ignore any questions
