Wow, the first example is simply a typo as a result of copy and pasting the same conditional block repeatedly. You would learn this would cause problems in your first week of programming: that what you type in your code determines whether

Walmart had enough capital to compete fifteen years ago too, and they chose not to seriously compete then as they are now. Walmart is a perfect example of the difficulty of a business not disrupting itself. They could have caught up perhap

Would really like to hear the sound he refers too. Also to see it graphed on a decibel chart. Anyone know if it's posted somewhere? Will go and look and EDIT, but I doubt I'll find it. EDIT: here I googled that for myself: htt

Why evolve something in the first place if it's so costly but is unbeneficial? The only reason I can think of is massive environment change from the one that selected the intelligence in the first place. But for oceans, something tells

You can choose to not seed the second you begin downloading files with most torrent clients (at least that I've used), so the argument that torrenting ensures people share while their download is underway is weak. It's proof that

Interesting. Just looked up why Israel launches them retrograde (counter to the Earth's rotation which costs more energy to launch). It's so launch debris doesn't land in populated areas, it lands in the unpopulated Mediterra

It's amazing to think that the long-term plan for something is for it to move slower and slower around the earth and then just burn up in the atmosphere. Really elegant design pattern that is highly reliable (gravity) as long as thes

Another interesting place, though not nearly as isolated, is Lukomir, Bosnia. It was remote enough during the Yugoslavian war that the war never really made it up there (though there was little reason to probably). You have to drive an hou

Seems like to compensate for day to day weight/water fluctuations one would need to track the trailing activity and food data for a period of days prior to the data analyzed. I'm thinking 3-5. .2 lbs/kilos lost is mostly a

GCE should offer Tensorflow instances sometime soon. Closed alpha now. This will be a nice offering from Google which is no doubt part of the reason they open sourced Tensorflow. Which GPUs they offer and how much, nobody knows.

You can sell securities to non-accredited investors if you have audited financials (basically conforming to public IPO requirements) and the number of people you do so is greatly limited. This stuff is more complicated than I'm making

to some of us (ahem, yours truly) the idea that there's a "mystery of sleep" might seem a bit, well, strange. Don't we sleep because we get tired? Quotes like this are typical of the American tendency to be pseudo-prou

Have you seen AWS' margins? Are the dozens of APIs and services AWS offers commodities? Most take years to develop and test. Also a huge market with ~3 suppliers will likely not turn into a commodity business.

Glad to see this rule come up on a tech site. This is Finance 102 stuff and it's good for everyone to know. Just in case this hasn't been said elsewhere, the rule is more precise for numbers whose factor into 72 is closer to it.
