I’ve been in a similar organization and have been put in charge of projects that I’ve been under qualified for, too, but I pressed on with good intentions and an “I care!” attitude. The problem is that at these organizations there’s often n

You don’t need a chat widget to chat, just a chat option. I also usually go strait to chat. I’ve used It for Amazon and Nike both but neither have the chat “widget” on their front page.

Me too, but I also like the “surprise me” subscription services like wine clubs. It’d be a decent backup plan if too many users complained about the monotony.

My understanding was that our trade deficit with China meant that we had to send more shipping containers back to China and we filled them with relatively light recycling waste instead of simply sending them back empty. It was basically fre

Probably your best bet, given that there’s no college loopholes or similar, is to work for a DoD contractor like Lockheed. Active Duty doesn’t need ML experts (and active duty has little control over their assignments, so you’ll just as lik

Can you explain further? Are you saying SSL doesn’t provide the security a normal person thinks, there is more unencrypted traffic outbound than a normal person thinks, or that the unencrypted headers of the otherwise encrypted traffic are

I don’t think they predict that based on photos though. Facebook might indeed be the first company to do this particular analysis since they have the data to do so. That doesn’t make it patentable, though. I doubt they invented any new math

It's reasonable that amputees with prosthetic legs would be banned from normal competitions because they weren't born with those legs; they were manufactured. But what if it was discovered that people born without an appendix some

On the flip side, the idea of drinking mainly non-alcoholic water also emerged only in the past couple decades. Humans have been drinking beer/mead/wine since prehistory, which are basically sugar sweetened drinks left to ferment.
