Well, that's a decision tree! An algo that arguably falls under ML :)

Can we learn from other countries that achieve greater outcomes without fancy technologies, before introducing unproven fads like Instagram to the classroom? US education is just depressingly terrible in so many ways. If I had a kid, I fe

the US adopted a system that was good enough at the time, and since then there is little impetus for improvement, despite the now obvious flaws. Same story for US infrastructure. Disadvantage of being a first mover

Sorry, but I fail to see the difference between your contrived examples. And I'm amused that you think people are being pretentious for bringing up "whataboutism," when the term itself is arguably a colloquialism.

Hypothesis 3 - that alumni or faculty are supportive - applies to any number of schools. Need more to show this is a distinguishing factor. Hypothesis 2 - the school encourages growth and "spiral learning" - is vague. Going to nee

It's not really new, just under the radar - but maybe Paradox Interactive's grand strategy games would be up your alley. Look at Crusader Kings 2, or Europa Universalis 4. I make this recommendation reluctantly as I despise their

Maybe anonymity would help? The problem there is that people won't have as much incentive to propose improvements, as they won't be recognized if their proposals end up being good. It just has to be ingrained in the company cultur

Chinese reader here. It's a very valid characterization of the culture. Respect is much more important. Less anti-intellectualism when compared to the West. Much more communal than individual, in all aspects. But there's definitel

That's reductionist to the point of absurdity. WeChat does far more than WhatsApp. I'd say it certainly started off aping others, but WeChat has now grown into a substantially more innovative platform.

Well the difference would be that the food gets delivered to you based on what you specify in the list.. But obviously that wasn't the main point. Using computer vision you can automate it.

Interesting concept... Tracking what you have to suggest recipes or restock - that's the feature that seems most appealing. But I don't think you need a network like you describe to accomplish that. You could have a "smart&qu

I just wanted to reiterate how amazing your comments have been here. I honestly feel it's a disservice to you to have your words languish in soon-to-be-forgotten HN threads. I'd love to read a blog of yours, or something along tho

I find it odd that you're the one making the absurd, unpopular claim, yet the onus of proof and concrete example is on others.

Like I commented elsewhere - why is this evil? Because Google didn't want to pay its own critics? Open Markets is free, as they themselves admit, to continue their work elsewhere. They are not entitled to Google's support.

Thought provoking comparison. But it illuminates a key difference in assumptions. Climate change is objectively bad, and one of the greatest problems society faces. It is wrong for corporations to silence the truth about climate change. OTO

This is ridiculous. Not everything needs to be twisted into a slippery slope. This is not about "removing citizens that express differing opinions," it's about Google not wanting to fund people that criticize them. Is that go

Pray tell how this is a free speech issue. Open Markets is free to go say their piece elsewhere. Why are they entitled to speak freely under New America?

How is that a "generational" difference... I'm sorry but your melodramatic attitude makes it very hard to take you seriously. Simmering resentment? Adversarial role? Come on. It's as simple as getting a YT browser extens

Reductive. You seem to be searching for a reason to disagree. He/she stated his point crudely, granted, but he/she did have one: There are certain forms of speech that are outlawed in certain places in the interest of preventing h

Your first point is pretty reductive. The idea of the selfish gene has been very dominant until recently. Your very example can be reframed as selfish behavior.

The thing is that technology can have an incredibly positive benefit on a kid's life if done right. People espousing schools banning screens and limited screen time strike me as people attached to the status quo. We need to adapt and

1. A lot of the stress, at least imo, is in knowing what to get, how much to get, and balancing that against constraints like what's available at the store and price. Having to make a string of smaller decisions. Being able to do this
