More like, if the market continues the upward trajectory it had under Obama, he gets the credit for establishing that trend. If Trump does something stupid to upset that trend (ill advised tax cuts or tariffs, for instance) he gets the blam

A pretty significant portion of those people lack savings for reasons other than choice (and I'd wager a significant portion of those who do lack savings because they just can't be bothered probably won't bother if there mayb

I think that the point is that "economist says" should be the beginning of a debate, not the end - it's a data point, but not conclusive evidence in favor of or against whatever's being referenced in most situations

Removal of trade barriers is a net good, benefits are not distributed equally, and historically have accrued more strongly to those who already have the money to take advantage of the decreased trade barriers. Removing tariffs on manufact

That was made by Facebook, and likely funded in part by the fact that they're guaranteed all of the traffic (and thus add revenue) from those internet connections and that it would generate a fair amount of positive PR. As everyone els

Really? I view this research as opening the way for laws mandating oil/gasoline producers reach carbon neutrality by funding/implementing mass carbon extraction as part of the cost of drilling. Sure, they'll still be doing ma

If you're measuring both on a per-pound level, kinda makes sense. One coffee bean produces a lot more bean than husk.

Many of us view startup culture in the valley as probably overvalued as well, although maybe not as much as a few years ago.

Ugh, hate that mindset. My boss at my last job had the mind set of "refactoring only makes it different, not better". I asked him if I could spend some time refactoring our build system. He said no. I eventually did it anyway a fe

There are definitely games that I wish I could get the "cliff notes" experience. GTA comes to mind - 4 had an interesting enough (if generic) story, but just took forever to finish because of its million mostly copy-paste go-here-

Remember, you can do pretty much whatever you want just as long as you don't screw over rich people. Probably wouldn't be seeing this headline if it weren't the investors that were upset.

"How to Solve it" was great for me from an abstract problem solving point of view. It helped me get better at seeing which abstractions help solve an otherwise difficult problem, which is a useful skill to have for coding intervie

I think it's kinda pointless to "feel bad" about something we have no control over (while we could not take the job, we definitely can't give someone else our seat). It's mostly just unhealthy. Much better to suppor

nitpick: Comcast owns a 30% stake in hulu. If anything, the preferential treatment would be the other way around.

Networks drop packets once they become over-saturated. You can either drop specific packets (e.g. netflix) or you can drop packets indiscriminately (e.g. everyone, including netflix, experiences degraded service). This is a pretty normal, p

Pretty sure the most of what you're talking about is the executive branch. They're in charge of enforcing the rules - e.g. deciding who to prosecute for drug crimes and which prisons to put them in to serve their term. Likewise, t

Apathetic? Have you seen Reddit today or yesterday? The top post in 90% of subreddits are pro-net-neutrality posts, even where it makes no sense. I can't think of a time when that much of a stink was made, including SOPA. The reason

Depends on the language. Never encountered a C++ or C compiler bug, but I've hit 2 separate & nasty Python runtime environment bugs (one that caused a segfault because of some memory trampling from having too many file descriptors

Then you live in a bubble. Most people I know don't have 10k a year sitting around, just those lucky enough to have relatively well-paying jobs - and having a chronic illness will only make finding such a job harder.

Depends on the model. QC20's from bose (in-ear noise canceling) are basically magic in that regard - turn them on, add relatively quiet music, and I might as well be deaf to everything, including conversation. That does lead the the an

The lights that I've looked at (look up liberty vt20 for example) have all suggested that eye contact with the light, peripheral or otherwise, is essential for results.

What I want to know is: Why is this suddenly a problem now? It was already done when T-mobile made Pandora/a few other music services not count against your data cap - everyone seemed happy about it then, and much of the press enthused

Tl;dr: No. Wrong output format, wrong training set, wrong input. To create a classifier that does that, you'd need a labeled set - i.e. someone would have to go through and say "this headline is 3 clickbaits. This other headline i
