Amazing how they just write a flat: "at least 30%" increase in productivity. Based on what exactly? How did they even measure that? I don't want to talk these slides down, especially since I think that a lot of use cases migh

So Lithuania is cheap and all, but the website and the job offers clearly fail to mention how much you get paid. Also, of course living in the city center of Vilnius is cheap, but compared to a similar 500k pop city in let's say Germa

IMHO: There is a good chance that Lisp is pretty close to expressing "natural language" in code. I would argue that written text / prose is even a bad starting point. I'd rather think about having an UML Activity Diagram

Even though ibuprofen is considered a basic medicine, it's still a medicine. Ibuprofen is not totally risk free and therefore needs to be sold by "professionals". Either way, Americans tend to overuse this drug as a pain kill

I wouldn't say that somebody who plays a violent/competitive game is more of a "hardcore" gamer than others. If you look at the hours played per user grand strategy games and simulations seem to be on the front row. An

I wonder what the EU commission will say to that. They only agreed to the WhatsApp takeover because FB stated that they would not do exactly what Zuck has in mind.

The CEO of Unity is the former CEO of Electronic Arts. I do believe that he might be executing the same business practices on Unity's developers as EA did on their customers. The first time I saw their CEO choice I thought that this ca

I think that argument is not valid. The "ultra rich" would benefit from any kind of capitalistic economy, they are "ultra rich" because they have more capital than 99.9% ( or whatever) of the population. And most of this

That's the free market at work I would guess. Zalando seems to see NLP research as a valuable asset so they pay for projects like this plus they open source it assumably because of employer branding. I don't see anything wrong wit
