If it’s trained on software written by Amazon it’s probably worth the $3.75 just so you can do the exact opposite of what they recommend.

I do not know if anyone has lost a trademark over this, but in a practical sense you still need to be proactive--there is no trademark police force that will ensure nobody uses the domain inappropriately. Consider a donation-solicitation b

Except that the way trademark law works in the US you have to "defend" your marks or they can be considered abandoned. This means as long as renewing your domain is cheaper than the cost of hiring an attorney to send a Cease and D

Or follow the model of banks profiting off of debit cards by charging exorbitant fees for common mistakes. They didn't need that a high percentage of their customers to pay overdraft fees before they were making billions. Forget to r

Apple rakes 30 cents off of every dollar spent In the App Store. Their end totals billions of dollars a month. They absolutely could do this “at scale”.

I work with complex JSON every day. Even painfully complex structures like Facebook's Ad Insights API or AWS Lambda Events only get around 5 levels deep, so 10 deep is already exotic, and I can't even conceive of a use case for 1

My thought too. "Pushing" someone to use a service is very different from "requiring" them to use it. Amazon can also make a very strong case that FBA maximizes consumer value even if it doesn't minimize price.

In general I’d say testing the method in a controller is a smell，and in this particular case I’d suggest GET and POST should never have been handled by the same function. If GET did nothing but render the view sending a HEAD would be harml

For me it’s about consistency, in order of importance: 1. self-consistency: Every entity and operation has exactly one name, a given verb always implies the same operation, paths are always constructed the same manner 2. consistency with in

If both Uber and Lyft go bankrupt we’d have a new rideshare service (or 20) before the ink was dry on the court papers. The public value is embodied in the concept, not in the companies.

I'd love to see them do an experiment that compressed hours per day instead of days per week. I used to do consulting around the world for an American software company and Japan is the only place where I saw people straight up fall as

My experience with image classification benchmarks was that they approached human levels only because the scoring only counts how much they get “right” and doesn’t penalize completely whack answers as much as they should (like getting full

For me the real frustration is Elastic's close tying of client features to server versions, making it impossible e.g. to buy the latest version of Kibana from Elastic and run it against a server managed by Amazon.

by femto113 7y ago
That was my thinking as well, though taking a peek at the actual code suggests that there's a pretty deep expectation that the client is speaking strings, e.g. in code that handles the ZRANGE command[1] I see if (c->argc == 5

Seattle has hundreds of private schools, I doubt more than a handful have anything like the morality clause you cite, and most that I am aware of are explicit about their support of LGBTQ+. Do you have some source for your claim?

I likewise suspect the FK and the index on the created timestamp account for most of the difference.

This seems slower than the manual speeds I observe at the place I go for lunch slices (Big Mario's, on Pike in Seattle), cooks there just use the back of a ladle to spread the sauce in a couple seconds. Per the video the robot takes 1

This doesn’t feel like much of a “hack”, it just leveraged the fact that an email address is all that’s needed to create an account and get a promo code. in the end he just has 1000s of accounts with $10 of promo credits each. His plan is t

An atypical use of the term as commonly understood, but I don't think it falls entirely outside of the definition since it is an automated test that is attempting to distinguish humans.

What industry are we talking about? Most commercial real estate used for offices spends almost nothing on marketing (they put a sign in the window perhaps). I don't think SaaS is at all relevant. Typical SaaS gross margins are upward
