May I introduce you to the moto G5? (cheap, has very long battery life.)

I'm honestly surprised whenever I hear people complain about bezels. Does this really annoy people that much?

How much public information is there about how much support this will get outside of Google?

I think it is safe to say that they don't think it's too important for them given their main message, but hey, maybe they have an opinion anyway...

Unlike the other comments, I'd like to point out that I have had a similar experience with Amazon's 2-day shipping. I would claim that 1 in 3 packages have an issue of some sort that causes a delay.

I definitely recommend reading the documentation for that info: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/tree/r1.5/tensorflo... It's actually pretty clear (to anyone that has used TensorFlow)

Unfortunately, I am compelled to make sure people don't read too far into this: this is phenomenally far from the truth. I am sure some schools have stronger engineering schools than math departments, but to say this generalizes is hon

Along similar lines: I often write an e-mail with all of the information I want to include, and read it over and edit it several times to cut down on things that aren't necessary. The unnecessary things can be as simple as an awkward p

Most people are commenting on what bullet points they agreed or disagreed most with. I am sure, however, that there are other software engineering leads on HN --- what other lessons have you learned, and/or what were the best resources

Question for hackernews: where did everyone else learn about this stuff? Going through the material, I found I already knew 50-75% of it, but from bits and pieces of information I learned over the years, not one consolidated place. Is it th

Why can't you trade drops of water? If people were interested (for eye drops it aerosols, for example), why not?
105.
by asafira 9y ago
I don't think that means it isn't scarce: if there was a supply of water (and you could buy it in any amount) and people were buying it up and selling it on a secondary market, it would still cause the price to go up.

I don't think invoking quantum mechanics is necessary here honestly. Let's say I flip a coin; most people would model the outcome as a p = 1/2 chance of heads and p = 1/2 chance of tails. This is fairly standard, of cour

how does the average energy set the energy of the particle? To me, for any configuration of the particle x, the average energy of the particle is given by sum over all configurations of p(x) E(x) and there's the probability distributio

Hmm. I'm not sure what you mean ... if you have the chance, do you think you can try to explain what you mean?

"In classical thermodynamics, a single particle doesn't have a temperature." This is false. A single particle can still be described by the maximum entropy probability distribution given its average energy, and that will give

One issue here is that there aren't always real/practical jobs within the field of study, though. Furthermore, I would claim that people who do experiments often are ones that are doing "real things"

I loved my internship at Waymo! I don't think it was a typical software engineering or hardware engineering internship, to be fair, but I really enjoyed the work I did and felt my background was beneficial in me making as much progress

I wasn't saying that professors should agree to it --- I meant the (roughly) two types of graduate students: those that are die-hard academia pursuers and the others. There might be an argument saying that the academia pursuers don&#x2

Hey, so I'm a PhD student (in Physics) at Harvard that has been looking into these issues (as graduate council president in the department), and I really don't like the bickering that occurs between (roughly speaking) die-hard aca

Are they really counting raindrops though, or just estimating rainfall intensity? I'm guessing the latter --- in which case, I'm not sure I'm a fan of the sensationalism.... Regardless, is there a good resource for the modeli

I appreciate some of these, but some I'm not sure I do for all of them. Just because they released something before everyone else doesn't mean there was real brilliance behind it --- do people really care that squeezing the phone

Can you give an example of how Mr. Gruber covers something "day-to-day" well? Not that examples don't exist, but I have a pretty unhappy relationship with more touchy-feely metrics. Example: battery life. A good description o

A lot of people are discussing this purchase as a way to bolstering Google's hardware R&D prowess, which I sort of don't understand: what are some of the most impressive phone innovations that came from HTC in the past 5 years
