How much time realistically can go into client agnostic work versus client specific work?

What does this look pike for an org that is primarily providing SaaS products via ML? i.e. how much to r&d, model dev, data cleaning, etc.

I have to second everything the author said about content. I joined early in CH and there were a bunch of interesting people talking about interesting things. It was like being a fly on the wall listening to people much more interesting tha

They get huge fines from the state alcoholic beverage office. This is strict liability, and punishment can be gigantic fines and revocation of the alcohol selling license. So, intent doesn’t matter in most states and no matter how real an i

Surely one could not just make up a totally fake birth certificate from nothing and have any licensing office take that seriously? Surely there are additional electronic records or other security features?

Interesting anecdote, where did you hear that? I remember the original source tweet that was something like, “invented homebrew but couldn’t invert binary tree so they rejected me.”

There will be a lot of cynicism on this post from the HN crowd, but these are unbelievably good recipients. I have interacted with Jose Andres many times, and go to his DC restaurants when I visit, and he is truly a wonderful soul who spend

I’d say that asking if they have anything to show off and not discounting them if they don’t is in bounds. Like extra credit that no one has to do and people can get the job without.

Haha amazingly there’s a chance I interviewed you, or you interviewed with my company when we were first rolling this out, or another company was also using the same question. I remember the idea was to make the analog like one of those ana

New equilibriums will form. Where it was once one climate, another will be, and the native crops that can no longer live in the first climate will be supplanted by new ones that can survive in the new one. This won’t be the case everywhere,

It’s not as simple as all of that. With modern marketing and ads, the deck is very much stacked against us.

It’s true that a lot of things take an investment but I don’t think you should be so prescriptive about some things like when you say: “Cycling shouldn't be about the gear itself. It should be about, well, getting out there and cycling

Okay that seems reasonable.

Yes, it’s clear speculation is the source of much of this, “all” was hyperbole on my part.

I can’t quite tell if you’re either lampshading/mocking speculator thinking or if this is sincere. But the thinking behind the above comment largely seems to be the source of all the problems.

I’m kind of curious here: if I were creating any service or running any group that had any chance of getting taken down completely from my provider (versus in the SRE sense of high availability), I would have multiple options on standby at

By accelerating from 0-60 quickly in your 500hp vehicle in rush hour traffic. A vehicle with high horsepower means you can do that very quick, and rush hour traffic means there are lots of people around. Lots of acceleration + lots of peopl

It seems exceedingly dangerous to be going from 0-60 form stoplights in morning rush traffic. It’s fine if it’s a danger to you, but you would eventually kill someone who didn’t sign up for that.

Yeah, we moved to the country following the COVID Tech Exodus from cities and there are no charging stations reasonably conveniently located. We are at end of life for our ICE car and are looking at options to purchase in the next 12 months

It sounds like the reason was to not perpetuate stereotypes, and in general caucasian people don’t seem to have that stereotype as far as I can tell. Whether they would have posted it or not is unclear, but if their only reason for not post

Absolutely true, of course. Some mountains that aren’t difficult in the summer can be torturous in the winter. And any mountain can be dangerous. As an aside, I do love ascending Shasta, one of my favorites in that region. But, from the rev

Mt. Whitney, which the author talks reverently about the toughness of in the beginning, may be the tallest mountain in the lower 48, but it is actually just a gentle ascent to the top. It requires nothing but hiking shoes and maybe a jacket

The problem with this view is that once one gets stuck, which is very quick when one is doing the work for real, one doesn’t have any tools to debug anything except at the most basic level and most probably doesn’t understand anything intui

This handwaves a lot of stuff. The least of which is that with the way satellites orbit, even though they orbit in 90, they’re not over the same ground track again for like 12 days. It’s not the case that a weapon used satellite would have

Maybe someone can help me understand, not a mathematician or engineer. It seems like the hotel is “full” but because there are infinite rooms, when new guests arrive they just move everyone to their room + 1 and make space at room 0. I don’

I’ve been following Kenji for a very long time. One thing I like is on the subject of adaptations. I have made his beef stew a few times, it’s quite involved. But I love how the recipe on the site adapts over time to take into account how p
