I co-work in one. The people who also co-work there are friendly, and they do have good amenities. Honestly, they upped the game of co-working spaces in my city. I don't work consistently in the office to warrant renting my own office

I remain skeptical that it'll make a dent, honestly. People will still use Twitter, Facebook, Google, Netflix, Amazon, etc. because they provide enough convenience and positive experiences that outweigh the perceived negatives. I mean

The problem is that some of the Nanodegree's are fairly trivial to get as solution code is available on Github. For me at least, the Nanodegree wasn't a defining feature for me so much as having very high quality produced videos.

I'd be surprised if the FTC were cracking down on YouTubers or bloggers at a wide scale.

It still irks me that something as rare and prestigious as the World Cup (and Olympic Hockey) can get decided by shootouts. I mean, I get it, football has a huge pitch and it'd probably be ridiculous to have guys exhausted, barely able

It's unfortunate, but the reason why I turned them off is because of a large number of uploaders who abused annotations with stupid annoying messages that added nothing to the video. It sucks for creators who legitimately used it as co

It's funny to see so many enthusiast rMBP users out there. It's absolutely incredible how long my rMBP has lasted the thousands of hours of wear and tear of travel. At this point, my battery is pretty much non-existent and the bod

Yeah isn’t there a named phenomenon when an expert reads an article from a source, realizes it’s full of factual errors, dismisses the article only to continue reading the rest of the articles from the exact same source?

I'm going to be curious how it stands up to wear and tear. I notice that these types of terminals which are brought to tables tend to be pretty beat up.

> FB feels like the opposite experience to me - crappy product decisions, bloated UX, bad will. Which almost feels ironic given that they tend to hire some of the best designers around the world.

Thing is if I'm eating at a fast-food restaurant, I'm not that bothered by food quality. In-n-Out doesn't have anywhere close to the same burger quality I could get at other joints, but it's cheap and relatively good for

Practically every product/service I can think of is more expensive here than other countries, namely the U.S. Yet the wages aren't exactly higher than other developed countries like the U.S. I don't really get it.

Maybe. A close friend of mine used pills instead of a pistol. Thankfully they didn’t succeed in their endeavour but the fact is people who are intent on doing the deed will find a method.

Might be nostalgia speaking, but I recall as a youngter crawling every folder to figure out what the heck each thing did. Without the internet or search engine, I resorted to reading text files, manuals, etc.

While I dislike FB, I don't blame researchers/profs for joining FB when the numerous advantages for joining them dwarf what you could get at a lot of other institutions. Reminds me of how on the one hand it sucks that certain tale

While I think 3b1b video's are great for developing a better understanding of the purpose of certain concepts, I don't think there's any way around ignore manually doing the problems with say Strangs Linear Algebra book since

Alas, it seems that they don't have videos for all their lectures?

Honestly, when it comes to slices of pizza or a burger (fast food in general), I couldn't care less about the human touch, and I've been to some of the best pizzeria's / burger joints in NY/LA/SF. I might care

I know severely women in my family who had exceptional academic and early careers. Once they had their kids, their drive to work dropped dramatically. Even my female CEO has been a lot less consistent as a productive performer compared to w

I've tried that for a couple topics (Reinforcement Learning, Linear Algebra, Bayesian Stats) over the last six months and I found for myself it was much harder to retain information than spacing it out over several months and chipping

His response reminds me of Officer Ken Lam, the Toronto Police officer who opted not to shoot the van suspect despite the fact that he was within a few meters of the suspect. In America, it's highly likely the officer would've use

I didn't take the Udacity ML Nanodegree, though I did do the Deep Learning Nanodegree. I found it to be disappointing especially since they had hyped the collaboration with Siraj, which was nothing more than linking to certain YouTube

I'm so jealous. In Canada, Amazon is pretty pathetic. So many things are out of stock, or not available for purchase. The few things that are available for purchase are sometimes only offered by third-parties, who jack up the price by

Wow. 80 years with the same company? That's absolutely insane.

At least that's relevant and subdued. When I go to certain sites like Vox, I see repeated ads for women's clothing (wtf?, I'm a guy) that makeup around 40% of an article AND clickbait to other sites via Taboola.

I can only assume his answer to question 11 is in response to the very public discourse between him and Jürgen Schmidhuber.

Ha. That seems like a good joke. Try doing online dating as a White Guy and then doing it as an Asian guy: I can 100% assure you the response rate and experience is going to be wildly different.
