Regarding this comment, I have a general broad question for the HN community: I honestly find it hard to strike a balance between being extremely cautious in my writing/responses, and being straight-forward and clear. What is the right

Yeah, I think the blogs even mention they get a kickback.

As a PhD, I want to give a word of caution: Classes in school are really almost nothing like doing research (or taking on any large, difficult project). I still take some here and there personally, but the main idea in this article isn&#x27

Suffice it to say, I'm guessing NY's Museum of Modern Art doesn't use Dropcam. =)

Why not a camera that has both local storage and cloud based storage? Like my phone.

Yes, Google paid the entirety of 3 billion dollars for specifically the lines of code that are vulnerable. Sigh. Clickbait article, "Read"-bait comment.

Innovative, maybe technically yes. But in reality, these are not really game changers.

There is a reason! Most smartphones are not really designed to last many years; as such, many will start seeing issues after 2 years or so. On the software side, carriers are awful at updating Android security beyond a couple of years, for

I found a program called simdaltonism on the mac app store that is perfect for this.

Yep! I agree with everything you mentioned, and should have been more clear in my description of what I meant by a fairer way to average the results.

The author here takes the average of the conversion rates from different websites. Am I wrong in saying that isn't quite right? Shouldn't the "average conversion rate" be just the sum total of users that go to Toggl and

Is the main plot a little confusing? At least, I'm a little confused: the x-axis is labelled "% change from 2016 to 2015", and for example ReactJS has gone up by over 150% from 2016 to 2015...which means there was more ReactJ

It is only linear in std::distance(first, last), so it very well might be (and likely is) nlogk . Edit: see comment below for why it actually is O(n) and not O(n logk) as I had thought.

Piggybacking on this a bit: does anyone have a good recommendation for learning more about home water distillers and RO systems? Both for just certain faucets and maybe even the whole household? I know filtering all the water at home is lik

You don't think this would drive data scientists to use Google's cloud platform? I.e., if the most well-known data science competition uses the platform, then they will use it after the fact since it's what they know best. Ri

A little bit of a stretch to say this is for high schoolers for example. Do most high schoolers even know how to program ?

Anyone else getting that the livestream (or I guess now the recording of the presentation) is choppy and skips back and forth between segments different segments of the presentation?

How often does this happen? The truth is, it shouldn't be a surprise if occasionally/rarely you hit a road bump and can't easily get over it. Why not be up front about it, but also confident in your abilities, as evidenced by

Is there a good source to learn more about this, and especially your polarized view? I have friends into this discussion, but never understood the exact details each side was fussing about.

So...How much will this do at forecasting stock prices? =) Very cool though --- I would be interested to dive into the methods they've implemented sometime in the near future!

Yes, but only if you are putting time into it on your own outside of tutoring. Otherwise, sessions will either seemingly not go very far, or you spend a lot of wasted time in the tutoring sessions (just blank time when you are reading and r

I tutor on the side, and it's often for this very reason. I am not sure of any particular source that makes this easy, but the majority of technical things written are written by people who don't really have a reason to have espec

This is a pretty common rant on HN and other tech enthusiast sites. My main qualm is your note that tech bloggers love the thinness and that people will buy it based on their recommendation. A) do most people really read tech blogs to figur
