   I think there is a point here. If your competitor software costs $X, and you offer similar features for $Y, where $Y < $X and $Y is within this range, it could sell anyway.

   They are printing a lot of money, but they are not printing $ 400 or $ 500 bills, that is what we need. About 50% of the bills in the street are $100 bills, which doesn't make sense. Printing bills with a higher denomination would be a way

   The argument I heard is that if they publish these ridiculous values, they get to pay a much smaller amount of debt. I don't know if this is true, but many people claim this is a good reason for lying in the INDEC. (I think this is the wors

   Zero is a good lower bound for all programs. Or minus one.

    Yes, you are right. 20k is an approximate number.

    1000000 * 0.02 = 20k This implies there are 20k wrong images in the dataset, sampling can find some of them

    Then say: on date Z, you said I should work on Y. Keeping records of what you are asked to do and of what you do helps.

    I didn't compare current freedom of press to freedom during the Dictadura, I compared it to the years between Dicatura and the Kirchner. I don't try to put all Kirchneristas in the same bag. I didn't even mention Kirchneristas. And there ar

    We already had freedom of expression before, you could say whatever you wanted about previous presidents in public. But now the government has higher control of the press, by controlling the paper, it has also publicly attacked and tried to

    I refer to my previous comment http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3398873 I understand the subject well, so the book sounded to me like an explanation to children of something that isn't really so difficult. Also, it was pretentious (too

    Yeah, I think it's overrated, pompous and shallow. And I understand it perfectly, having studied the subject (at least the maths part) from real sources.

    Does Bill Gates care about this? I wonder how many of the Nobel Prize winners care about it really; they can be very proud about what they did already, who cares if somebody else recognizes them as important?

    It's a sad story. I wonder if this changed from 2005 to now. Would you get hired now? Seems like machine learning / big data / some of ai is a hot topic now.

    Yet there are AI applications coming from Google, Apple, Microsoft and many other companies (voice products, kinect, etc.), and service based companies that work on these advanced topics too like ITA used to be. Why do you think those compa

    That's one car. What about the 10 cars this car is representing, if it's right that 10 people share the same car? (a la zipcar). It would be good to get the data about energy consumption for car building, to answer this.

    But if less people have cars (say every 10 people share a single car), then the energy used to build cars diminishes.

    I'm reading and it's good so far, what is everyone complaining about? So far it seems unbiased, instead of the typical heroic novel you get in most other biographies.
