It sucks that we're in such a bad place right now, but I'd probably bet money that there are going to be some big geoengineering startups in the next couple of years.

Ah yeah, misread that there. Express p(k) in base k. Those are your coefficients. Pretty cute. :)

If we know what k is, we've got an upper bound on the value of the roots. Since we can express p(k) as (k-x_1)(k-x_2)...(k-x_n) (with x_i as roots), we know that each (k-x_i) must be an integer factor of p(k). Based on these facts, I&#

Even with all the negative articles about them on HN? ;) On a more serious note, I don't have any opposition to the open office layout in themselves... But they do have a feeling of "cows in a cowpin" that rivals the fields o

To be honest, I've always been "good" at math (cue memories of learning how to cont to 100 as a 3 year old, being forced to memorize multiplication tables at age 6) so I never "got good". That said, years of math co

Well, this falls nicely into the "bucket of common experiences lots of people can talk about". :P Turning 25 in two-ish weeks. Currently just past my 3rd year at a FAANG after failing to figure out a "path more interesting th

This has to be part of Apple's AR play. I'm pretty amazed they didn't do this sooner, honestly.

Array slices make array/string-parsing coding interviews so much nicer. @.@

Haskell has way too much syntactic sugar some of the time, but I really appreciate its anonymous function syntax. If I need a quick-and-dirty map over a list of something, a (\x -> x + 1) a is much nicer than a std::for_each(a

Alas - the 200 years or so by which humans had visual 'proof' that something did or did not happen is rapidly about to end. :)

Given how the guy took data then refused to cooperate when asked, I think his account being suspended makes sense... https://www.facebook.com/boz/posts/10104702799873151

On one hand, missing stated production timelines is not great. On the other hand, people ought to be used to Elon Time by now. That'd be a problem if the other car manufacturers were closer to catching up with Tesla, but it doesn'

If I had to guess, Zuck is still planning on selling 99% of his shares over his lifetime. As part of that, he wants CZI to be funded for the next 20 years. The part of his shares over 50% (which by definition, is less than 99% of his wealth

And I bet we'll be seeing our first Spectacles-based-sex-tape scandal within a year, once someone figures out how to short-circuit the indicator light. ;)

I would think yes. If they didn't, why would an advertiser spend money with them, knowing full well that part of it was being thrown away on fakes?

Under the previous stock arrangement, he wouldn't have been able to both donate his stock and keep control of the company. I can see how the headline could be interpreted as Zuck being detrimental, but I don't think that was the i

Zuck still is running the company. This change means that he can keep doing that while also donating 99% of his stock to charity.

I think that depends a lot on your perspective and background. For example, consider someone who grew up 'macho'. By that, I mean an environment where not looking weak is more important than being efficient, the word of the boss i
