That's true. I actually don't know how the incentives are structured for executives in the German broadcast but they seem to reward creating quality, unbiased news. If you look at the most popular newspaper in Germany which is ess

I've long had this idea to build a decompiler (a program that maps binaries back to source code) using machine learning. The problem in decompilation is that you loose information when you compile source code. Machine learning could he

I think it's because the downvoters feel like it doesn't add anything to the discussion, because you don't really address the concerns in the article.

Asynchronous programming is also solving that problem by using an event loop.

They just pointed out a bunch of SEO problems with the site, that doesn't proof or disprove that they have been censored. Especially if their ranking only dropped on specific terms and it dropped suddenly.

In my experience it depends largely on yourself. No one is really checking what time you clock in and what time you clock out. That said many people like their job and work long hours voluntarily.

There is also a relatively well-known startup called Quid. They are doing something with data visualization. I first though this was them.

The blog post itself actually confirms what you are saying. They say they asked professional photographers to rate their creations. 40% of their creations were rated at semi-pro or pro level. Looking at their plot only very few of them got

This article seemed really incoherent to me. I didn't understand what comma is trying to do and how selling 1000 "FitBits for your car" to "car enthusiasts and hackers" for $88 helps to compete with Waymo.

I would say: Amazon is putting large ads on the amazon.com homepage for it's products. I don't think if a startup had build exactly the same product they would have been succesful. Apple had Steve Jobs, who had both a great vision

It can be illegal to use your market dominance in one area (search) to reinforce or create market dominance in other areas. As far as I know it's only illegal when there is harm to consumers. Antitrust laws are meant to protect cons

Here are some reasons why TensorFlow might be better: * more widely used, more example code * developed by a bigger team, likely to improve faster * easier to deploy * training with Cloud ML * better support for distributed training * no co

I remember in previous posts Marissa Mayer's salary was already discussed to death. I think this discussion just focuses on the new information in this post.
