Haven't tried it but certainly a noble cause, I hope they succeed. > “I love VCs and particularly the ones that invested in us,” Brown had said. “But it’s truly astonishing how little diligence they do in terms of the actual science

This is absolutely horrific. The path the UK is on is terrifying. On the bright side they are quite far ahead down this road compared to other Western countries, so when the UK inevitably collapses first, other governments can learn their l

How is that relevant? The salient point in the comment you quote is "they are not adapted to evolving technology and culture." It doesn't matter how clever the founding fathers were, or how much foresight they had. They could

What is wrong with you? He was asked to provide a reason why he thought Thiel was unlikable and he answered. You proceed to blatantly and outrageously twist his words. Nobody said he was evil or terrible. Don't pretend it was implied,

It's crazy to me in the sense that Snap is apparently <1% of growth in digital advertising.

like the other comment, I don't see how your example of self-driving proves anything. In fact the more I think about it the more I'm confused by your comment. What are you skeptical about? Google here has demonstrated their comput

This is almost cult-like. The cult of Vitalik. What we're talking about are a slew of successful attacks in the ETH ecosystem. What we're talking about are what appear to be questionable decisions in Solidity. What do you think of

Good to know. As a new grad I couldn't really claim to have any experience, so that wouldn't have helped me. I was just commenting that these requirements were absurd, considering that the pool of people meeting them would be so s

Well, there's a job post on HN right now looking for data scientists :)

Unfortunately there is very little here that isn't just general interview advice. As a new grad that went through the hunt very recently - it was a messy process. Very few places will consider you without extensive experience, or a mas

I believe some Roman inscriptions were found to use additive, i.e. III + I = IIII, VI + III = VIIII. Certainly I feel that nobody would look at IIII and be confused as to what it represents.

right, exactly! this kind of casual discrimination that people pass off as a joke. Obviously not a reddit-exclusive phenomenon; it's commonplace IRL, but it's especially noticeable in large subs where people are encouraged to make

I guess I mostly had the defaults and other similarly sized subs in mind. But to me a subreddit is large and low quality when crowd-pleasing memes and joke comments bury thoughtful discussions.

parent explicitly mentions people making racial jokes and mentioning racial stereotypes. This occurs even in every large subreddit, well-behaved or not. They likely aren't even malicious on the part of the people who say them, but neve

Interested in what part of that you feel needs to be explained in more depth? Not sure reading several books is necessary for explaining data collection and data munging...to me it's definitely something best learned by doing. work in

Sure, that's the ultimate goal as that's how money will be made. But you need to make people buy the machine in the first place, and convenience was one of the selling points.

I don't even know how to address such a naive argument. Split the country into pieces? It doesn't take a political scientist to see how impractical this is. I didn't realize economic growth became a goal of such paramount imp

1. "Please don't" is hardly offensive or authoritative. 2. If you disagree, you were laughably hypocritical in your post.

I agree fully actually, and I don't want to distract from that. I just don't think we should shy away from talking about the makeup of this "feudal elite."

You know, I honestly don't see it. From what I understand, you're implying that this is something that we can't/shouldn't talk about either?

Seems to me you're all irked by facts? Sure, plenty of white men aren't prospering. Irrelevant. A disproportionate amount of them are succeeding in the "algorithmic economy." I don't see why this is so taboo to poin

I don't believe in shareholder primacy, but your first link has no substance at all. Not the best source. And this argument is rather disingenuous, it is codified in law that directors have a duty to act in good faith. This all seems s

Thanks for noting that, you're right. I'm not familiar with how much an electronic locking part would cost, I assumed it would be nontrivial. But certainly the labor costs aren't going to be very high if these are already cus

I highly empathize with this. These days I'm just interested in imagination. I don't care if a book or novel or movie is good. I will most likely never consume it. I'm looking up synopses and scanning them for innovative idea

Definitely, seems to me a lot of people buy wine just to show it off, so there's no way wine production will be replaced completely. Especially high-end wines. Wine is a luxury good.

Silly comparison? So a Camry is not a successful car because people would rather own BMWs? Do you not realize Tesla has been intentionally making high-end, luxury vehicles, which are more desirable by nature? Leafs and Priuses are only part
