As an avid podcast listener, and a recent attendee to the podcast festival in LA, I think this article has several flaws. 1. It never mentions gambling or fantasy sports, which makes me suspect it’s a native ad for the NBA. I bet that a go

I would like an (automated) “IMDB for Podcasts.” Specifically, I would like to be able to find, and be notified of, every podcast where a given person speaks. Similarly, I’d like automated data on what ads are run/read. Essentially, I

Perhaps. Certainly a good building is better than a bad one. Indisputable. But everything has a trade off. I’d trade for higher pay or more commercial projects.

I suggest that kids use sites such as Starfall.com. They do not track kids or apply any algos. They simply let kids explore at their own pace.

In honor of the exponential, I wish the conclusion was “Thank you, and here’s to sixteen more years!” :-)

Sure comes across as arrogant for Prof Abadi to remark: > I assume that the Arrow developers will eventually read my 2006 paper on compression in column-stores and expand their compression options to include other schemes which can be op

“Official story” according to whom? I agree with your sentiment, but think the headline could simply omit the phrase “corruption probe” without losing any information.

(Don’t forget that Saddam was supported by the US before he wasn’t supported by the US)

Yeah, I understand that it’s a Real Life Game of Thrones. Even so, it sounds like we both agree that this is not a “corruption probe.”

I do not think it’s accurate to call this a “corruption probe.” Surely that’s how Saudi Arabia’s leaders and their allies would like it described. To me, it’s a biased headline. Keep in mind that the opposing side is being murdered, or de

The only solution is to opt-out. There’s no other solution. That said, there is a role for government regulation. Specifically, to break up monopolies such as Google. Then, when there is proper competition, you have some freedom to choose

I completely agree with you. I just think the linked article could be strengthened by adding some rules of thumb. No complaints about its technical explanation.

I’ve also never opened a FB account. I also used to receive those surprised reactions. For whatever reason, nobody ever reacts that way anymore. To me, that’s one strong indicator that FB doesn’t actually matter.

No, it doesn’t offend me. I simply asked a couple questions (which are being downvoted). Maybe James Damore shouldn’t have been fired by Google?

Are you implying that some sexes or races have superior (aka super) capabilities that others don’t have?

The title is misleading. It starts with that argument as a preamble, but the bulk of the content is a detailed technical explanation for how “auto” works in C++. I was expecting some style guide rules of thumb. Scott Meyers does a good job

I’ve heard of NBA2k, but never played it. Are you able to follow the simulated games without using your game console? Or, asked another way, does it run in the cloud?

Maybe you can adapt this NBA GO implementation to consume data from your software?

Fun project idea: implementation of the stats.nba.com API which provides simulated, or fantasy games. Two use cases: 1. Why wait for the actual NBA games? Instead, follow a simulated league that “plays” as many games as you want to consume

Yes. Although I question the usefulness of this jargon list, I think Bartosz Milewski’s CTfP is excellent: https://bartoszmilewski.com/2014/10/28/category-theory-for-p...

You are correct that it’s conjecture. I did include the weasel word “probably.” I certainly do not have inside info. But, in the real world, if he were interviewing for a new job, the prospective employer would surely have this conversa

Facebook doesn’t rule anything. Nonsense hyperbole. I do think that Google’s search results provide a potent lense. Primarily, if a result isn’t on the first page of Google’s search result, then it essentially doesn’t exist. That said, Goo

Yeah, that should be noted. It’s more interesting once you notice the note at the bottom, saying it’s 20 years old.

Oh, you mean, forming their own opinion instead of blindly following the opinion of the newspaper editorial boards, and the experts predicting immediate financial collapse?

I haven’t seen any proof that FB actually has power. Instead, I’m seeing that they have inflated the number of users and ad impressions. Also, I’m seeing an argument that FB is somehow so powerful, that under $100k of FB ads swung the elec

Correct, it is not easy to manufacture majority opinion. In fact, we are seeing: 1. HRC spent more 2. HRC had total support from media (every major newspaper) 3. HRC even had social media employees manipulating their algos and data to her

I don’t doubt that Occupy SF had broad support from “certain circles” in SF. I also don’t doubt that a significant number of everyday people joined the cause and contributed resources.
