To me it doesn't seem hard to believe that people will click on ads (mistakenly or purposefully), nor that bot traffic is so significant, nor that advertisers are willing to pay for brand presence even without clicks. What does continu

It's not that simple. First of all, the goal is to track the index as closely as possible , not to get the best price and certainly not to avoid illiquid stocks. Moreover, how would you balance these two algorithms' holdings? Reg

We must remember the frame of reference for these works. The audience. Most art, and certainly most paintings, movies, and most of Bach's work, is written for a general audience . Works of advanced, pure math however are written for

This misses the point in that it is a function of your ambition and vision for the company. Page, or any CEO with significant control of a large, highly profitable company, could delegate any aspect of operations which fall below the level

This is a great answer. It brings into relief many of the thought processes and experiences which change in tackling questions after studying advanced mathematics deeply. However, the answer seems mostly to cover what it feels like to stud

When I said I was skeptical, it wasn't about the concept or theses per se. It was that the study would be conducted well and seem solid, versus being attention-grabbing... which sadly all too much "science" lately is.

I always feel cheat codes don't let me experience the game as its designer intended. But... always tempting. :)

This seems like an important filter when describing the potential for life on a planet. Is it part of the normal discussion when exploring for planets that might have life?

I don't know. Fermi paradox has never bothered me too badly. Between possible great filters (behind and/or ahead of us), the time and distance involved in species discovery and travel, and the fact we're still apparently pr

Well, I came in skeptical about this, but the analysis seems pretty solid. To;dr: fairly strong and reliable correlation between depression and posting images that are bluer, grayer and darker. This is predictive in that users can be ident

I think being self-taught in programming works relatively well compared to being an autodidact in theoretical physics becaude programming is a trade or applied science, not a pure theoretical science. Being self-taught in theoretical compu

I wonder if this is changing with things like online education and the wealth of real information and in-depth knowledge on the internet. It seems self-teaching is much, much more viable today and I imagine that younger generations of auto

Yes, I only meant it's an obvious question to ask to qualify the sort of AI startup. Agree there can be winners without this qualification but it's an obvious distinction to be noted.

A wonderful thought and insight, and you're right that this is a positive indication. Perhaps for those of us here on HN, a worthwhile thought is how we can accelerate this change and help more rapidly distribute it as well.

This is yet another clickbait-y title that overpromises and underdelivers. Little value, no specificity, and hardly any real description of a "formula" whatsoever. Here, though, is a tl;dr summary for one of the only concrete pi
