I don't doubt the author's point that the offering the company a loan for this foray is a good deal. Does anyone with a good amount of knowledge in the field think there is an actual basis for assuming Bitcoin is worthy of someone

I appreciate the criticism and many of the other commenters here make other great points. I'm left wondering, though, if they may still make the effort to break their research down and publish the detail everyone is searching at some p

Both the new AMD and NVidia graphics cards and the intel CPUs support hardware decoding of AV1. I wouldn't count it out just yet. x265 has been released for many, many years and yet it's not fully adopted by a long shot. Transitio

60-100 staff? Sorry but that's very naïve. Think about how many core services this takes: -finance -payment -HR -management -verification of hosts / properties -scam detection and moderation -legal -dispute arbitration -programmin

I'm leading implementation of a software up at a remote arctic mine site (geostationary satellite internet) and have to manage our issues on the vendors Jira implementation. It takes about 5 minutes to load the site the first visit. It

You're completely missing his point. It's not the exact same thing. If I made a million a year as a company owner or shareholder (ignoring tax evasion schemes) I would receive a salary or dividends (ignoring choosing to hold it al

I have to agree. I've been a weekly reader for over 5 years now and I always find their analyses of my own country (Canada) more eloquent and poignant than our own media. I do recommend carefully choosing which articles to take in with

Anybody who watches much Youtube has surely seen the uptick in ads over the last year or so. That's clearly reflected in the increased revenue on that front.

I'm not sure where you get the idea it's only for "those who can't code". In my domain, mining, there are many, many excel sheets for all sorts of things that would never merit a single line of code being written. W

This site was a godsend in university maths. I also strongly recommend it.

You're kidding, right? Google "India oppression" and I guarantee you'll see several links towards what's going on in India-controlled Kashmir.

IT all depends on your needs. I'm using Libreoffice and Google Drive at home myself, as I'm cheap. But if I was doing more than the occaisional financial spreadsheet, or had lots of writing, or had lots of backups to do my need st

I suppose I agree in the sense that it is, really, the killer app. Still I think OP's point still holds, machine translation is undeniably infinitely more practical with ML but it still is just an augmentation. Same going for voice rec

Be careful using the title "engineer", depending on where you work. Here in Canada it is illegal to use the title unless you are registered with the provincial engineering order, and they will charge you $.

To be fair: as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, Amazon did in fact credit him, and he admitted his mistake later in the Twitter thread.

My research into this a little while ago showed that this has a very poor energy density to capital cost. There are some other techs like molten salt which are supposed to be better.

I am surprised to see this point being made. The government has one of the worst records on data privacy of all democracies. It's laughable to think they won't proceed with this and go further, again, before long.

I just use Libreoffice Draw to add text into stubborn pdfs on windows and any on Linux. It's a good, free OSS way to get the job done, though not pretty.

They truly do entice you to find more elegant solutions. One thing they show in the post-mission report is your solution's code line count, energy use, and component cost versus others in a graph. I didn't consider myself "fi

I really enjoy this game. I got pretty addicted a couple years back and decided that to truly "beat" the game, I'd learn c# and program a bot that could beat it faster than I could. My handiwork is here: https://gi

I wish it was just the game makers needing to build for another platform which is the problem. Unfortunately a large problem is also graphics drivers. NVidia and AMD don't do much to help the open source community / linux with the
