It will fix it by making all of us pay the bill. In the long run QE will lead to nothing but inflation. In the beginning you may not notice it, but then after a while you will start asking yourself, why is real estate so insanely priced. An

This exactly. The amount of money that you are willing to throw away at an investment without any internal resistance is what makes a difference. For many people even though talented, this amount is close to zero. Even more so, if you grow

I guess the real question is how to correctly distinguish between a commodity vs a potential lock-in. For example, if you stick EC, S3 and SES, it feels more like a commodity. However, with more services in the basket you will probably end

My assumption when reading it was that buy means both rent and purchase licenses/hardware.

As a person doing data science / ML in the last 4 years, I mostly agree with your points. Especially about the hype driven demand for DS/ML. One thing that is often neglected though is the exploration part it. There really is a lo

Yes, a team is indeed more valuable than a bunch of people, but there isn't an abundance of marketplaces to sell a team. Just the usual crowd of recruiters that are looking to fill up individual positions and take their commission. Vir

My experience is that it is pretty easy to find a remote job as a single developer/freelancer, but a lot harder to find a decent project for a small, well-knit team. I now live in Eastern Europe (EU) and I easily find offers at EUR 450

Yep, for example Hetzner offers bare metal servers as well as cloud instances at a very reasonable price. (Not affiliated in any way. Just a happy customer.)

From what I've read so far, it seems that hosts can infect healthy people 1-2 weeks before first symptoms. Something missing though is how long after the infection does the host become active in spreading the virus.

Hmm, I thought deep fakes consume lots of computational power both at training and inference time. Is there some tech/science breakthrough here or they have just scaled it up to more hardware?

For Machine Learning (esp. computer vision) it is really important. First, as others have pointed out, it lets you use bigger batches of data in a single forward pass. This has not only performance aspects, but also certain regularization

Wrt soda, and highly processed food, I think that FDA and similar agencies could make an effort to evaluate the consequences of prolonged consumption of such food and figure out what quantities are safe. They could require proper labeling a

Not always true. Where I live, small parties have the problem of not being able to allocate sufficient resources to monitor all voting rooms. Then if it happens that only representatives of two of the biggest political parties are observing

150 billion i still a good amount of money. The problem with EU funding is in the objectives: - Vaguely defined, so they open a lot of room for lobbying and corruption - It is hard to align them to a startup agenda and the administrative ov

Does it mean that using a vaccine with a killed microbe could expose the person to danger if he or she already has the non-pathogen variation of the same microbe in their body? What if they acquire the non-pathogenic microbe some time after

Sounds useful, but also like a large scale social experiment :)

I fully agree with your statement, but would also like to point to the darker side of the coin, where some people managing the mandatory pension fund will probably make some nice amount of money out of it.

Indeed, Docker was not perfect, but was easier to use than LXC at the time it got popular. There is a certain barrier in usability(cost) and usefulness(reward) that must be passed so that hype (natural or induced) can do the rest. Looking f

If you are a black hat, would that help if you have a certificate and half the world knows about it? Transitioning from a (anonymous) black hat to a white hat is relatively painless. However the opposite could be quite painful, because the

The anecdote was really insightful. Would you elaborate a bit more on the false dichotomy? It looks to me that it is not a that much about a false dichotomy, but more about who is the one that decides if you are successful enough - you or s
