What a load of rubbish. Most medium and large retail stores have a security guard at the door, and nobody is claiming they are treating all customers as criminals. Everyone understands they are there to stop the few malicious people from st

They did benefit from the cheaper workforce, in fact they saved 1.14 million dollars! Wait Oh no...

I had a friend who contacted me recently, and sent me a blockchain startup “to review” I said - did you buy these because it was a friend of yours, or do you expect them to increase in value over time? Or some other reason? She said “I don’

It won’t work, because it only takes a small number of bad actors to ruin the compliance of a vast majority. Couple that with compliance being driven by ethics and non-compliance being driven by money - it will never work. We should focus o

I'm very curious and have no knowledge in this field, so forgive my basic questions ... Was the information leakage (from either or both parties) deliberate through malice, or was it some form of accidental / incompetence? Or some

A company with billions in revenue, live updates routing around traffic, has complex machine learning modes predicting ride times and costs, and operates in something like 65 countries. Uber isn’t trivial

It was an info page similar to a terms and conditions page, nobody wants to share that.

Hahahaha I re-read my paragraph and it does sound a bit like that! I wish it was - then there might have been some engineering challenges related to scale, but sadly no, it was a mobile web app for getting small % discounts at stalls at a n

No it wasn’t because without it the paragraph content below would move up. (It was on mobile so there’s not a lot of space anyway) Their insistence on the button was a combination of “my application designs are flawless, and should never be

Yeah I thought this exactly. If he had any brains he’d negotiate with management a 5x bonus for solving it, tied to achieving the 10x optimisations I did this several times in my early career and was paid a lot and it was win/win You h

Yes, so I put analytics in to prove it. I told the project leader that nobody wants a share button there, because of the nature of the data, nobody will share it. They disagreed strongly, suddenly the share button was super important. So I

Do you see any irony in your comment complaining about CEOs over promising and then you go on to describe “immeasurable” gains and “limitless” technology?

by malux85 6y ago
Yeah, and Google has this with Google Analytics. Is Google Analytics free out of the kindness of their heart? NO. It's free because you can spot up and coming winners.

Help others. If you’re a programmer then automate your charitable work. How many people can you help this week? 50,000? Can you buy fertiliser for an entire city? Can you pull a ton of carbon out of the atmosphere? Can you speak for the def

Yeah, or maybe someone could implement a feature to somehow distort, or "blur" the faces if you will.

If EasyJets systems are anything like their customer service, their in-flight food, their baggage handling or their scheduling, this is not surprising.

I’m similar to you - autodidact, poor in school, successful later - and I think it depends how the A.I. is implemented. My observation of school was that the ratio of 1 teacher to 25 students (who all have different learning speeds) means t

Just downvote it and move on, there’s a chunk of hacker news shills and bots with either throwawayXXXXX as the username or A446EDFCC - hex usernames. Don’t even bother they are not here to discuss they’re here to stuff the thread with their

Slick is a moving target susceptible to hedonistic adaption - crappy UI but functional is better than non-existent, I’d say release as soon as you can ...

Couldn't have said it better. One of the reasons I'm a supporter of universal basic income is so that the employees can have a better negotiating position. I suspect many bullshit rules will go out the window when the alternative

The trucking model is profitable enough. Truck drivers is literally the most common job in the US. And what if the ferrying people around part is a revenue share between the self driving car company and the car owner?

by malux85 6y ago
Except self driving trucks can drive 24/7 and never take a break. You’ve seen those truck stops where there’s 30-40 trucks sitting idle while their drivers are sleeping and on mandated breaks? Wasteful. If all cars are self driving we

30 to 40 cents. Just kidding, 600 (USD I'm assuming) will get you a GPU instance for nearly a month. That might net you 100-200 if you pay attention and mine the most valuable cryptos
