The correct response here would be for Robinhood to cancel the product and apologize, instead of revamping their marketing materials. They are not offering a "cash management" service. Unless they get insured or find another vehi

Wow - nice stuff. I'm a fan of the reference map.

Part of a broader effort - I committed to learning to code about 3 years ago. At that point in time, I didn't really know why I was doing it... really out of curiosity. I kept going because it was addicting, and really an antithesis

The direct answer is - not at the research level but yes, in terms of application as the field matures and abstracts over time. There are also adjacent jobs to ML engineer (product management and so on...).

I didn't think about it during the time. It's a fair comment, and probably true. What it did really well (for me) was integrate HW with each lecture video, and start at a really basic foundation. It took me from 0 -> somethin

Watching videos, reading the (indicated portions of) the text, doing practice problems, eventually exams - relying on the resources provided in the OCW site. To be transparent - I just started the calculus class. I finished the UT Austin L

Awesome input! Learning isn't linear (tee-hee...)

Thanks - I am doing that as well! I've been using MIT OpenCourseware for single variable calculus (and will do the same for multivariable). I fenced the parent post to Linear Algebra to not go too far away from the OP. I will certain

I'm e-learning Linear Algebra right now to have a good math foundation for Machine Learning. I was a History and Sociology major in college - so I didn't take any math. If you are like me, and working off an initial base of high s

You love him or you hate him. Elon is likely frustrated by his limited degree of freedom in his ability to express himself given his role as a chairman and CEO of a $60B public company. It takes a unique empathy to understand the nature of

Yes - we probably don't disagree. I believe that there's probably some technological value in digital currencies. In terms of the "market being a bust", the statement was a criticism of the current valuation of the cryp

I'm not arguing that BTC hasn't returned value to earlier investors. I'm arguing that cryptocurrencies don't have the same economic model as most startups - which is essentially the expected future value generated by the

Let's call a spade a spade. This market is a bust, and there's no value-driven economic model to justify cryptos collectively being worth $50B-$100B. With any startup, there is an expected future value of the company discounted ba

Crypto is a different ballgame than the stock market, given concentration of trading volumes in relatively few coins. To the extent that the investment philosophy leans more towards "HODL" as prices decrease, trading volumes will

I've completed 10 online learning courses and probably spend 20 hrs/week learning online. Udacity Likes: I loved Udacity's production quality & instructors. I think they are generally awesome in the balance of teaching c

Hi, sorry I missed this message. You probably won't see this, but my plan is to do the following (you can Google the course names): 1. Learn math (I majored in history and sociology) Classes ------------- Linear Algebra: Foundation t

I'm excited for this - I have stitched together my own courseplan to study machine learning, but this will be great to workback from, complement, or supplant in certain cases.

Misleading title - I think they are not going to report unit sales by segment but will still report $ sales by segment

by muhneesh 8y ago
They will still disclose sales by device segment

by muhneesh 8y ago
I don't think they disclose revenue per SKU (e.g. XS, XS Max XR) - you would need sales by SKU / ASP to get unit sales

A cool use case would be if they open sourced their designs for use in prototypes - it would be super compelling to pitch an app with Iron Man or Captain America as the central user.

I don't think educated software engineers that decide to take a calculated risk are the ones becoming homeless. It's a drug and mental health issue, unless you are speaking to a broader philosophical point on what "high risk&

I think making web apps similar to the mobile experience would be awesome.. then we can have less startups with wacky names because they can't get a unique domain.
