Not exactly. The time you spend on the course, and the time spent by your instance running workloads are two completely separate things. Your cost per-hour is accurate (plus a few bucks for an IP address), but the number of hours is off by

The course is excellent, and thank you for making it and offering it for free - but a word of caution for those considering following it: Along the way you will incur not-insignificant costs for Amazon EC2 GPU instances, and, even if your i

This [1] is one of the most comprehensive examinations of lift, written in layman terms. You can read the HN discussion here [2], since this appeared on the front page a week ago, much to my surprise [3]. [1]1 http://ljjensen.net

I opened the QR code with a QR reader, because when I say the app-store buttons, I assumed the QR code was for downloading the app. You could: 1) Have the QR code contain a real URL, with the Expo ID appended as a querystring. 3) On the ser

Not by itself, but if the age suggest that the content is stale it could be. How the HN algorithm worked 7 years (assuming it has changed) isn't of that much interest, even though the analysis might be.

I'm sad for you that trawling someone's comment history looking for downvotes is meaningful to you. Maybe it's a signal. For the record though, since it seems important to you - there was no "heavy downvoting". Even

Funny you should mention it, as legal judgements are not the sort of thing I normally have reason to read. However (copyright troll) Prenda Law's 9th Circuit appeal on sanctions came up in discussions on HN a couple of days ago and, ha

You're probably getting down-voted because (aside from the off-topic comment) that isn't how copyright works. In most cases copyright starts from the time the work is created, and lasts for a specific period of time (Disney-style

I'm somewhat disconcerted. There was an article on HN yesterday [1] in which one of the replies to the top comment about AG Bell's attempts at flight said: "The difference is that Bell didn't understand aerodynamics and

Your argument is weak, and clearly you recognise that, as the to appeals to authority, and mistaken [1 8a] questioning of something as trivial as the use of quotation marks are a poor attempt to distract from the question. [1] http:/&

Maybe I"m missing something, but what's the purpose of launching from a roof box? It just seems like a gimmick. I can launch a multi-rotor from the roof of my car, but that's hardly news-worthy. Second, why a quad-copter? Any

I believe, at least for your anecdotes, that this has less to do with language, and more to do with context. We all speak (and behave) differently when we are with our parents, our colleagues and our friends - and arguably online, even when

Have to say, when I saw the dark top-bar, I presumed it must be part of another go-dark internet protest about something, and wondered why there was no announcement. Glad to see I can get rid if it (in Chrome at least).
