Let me phrase the question a different way - since species seems to be overloaded. What stable state of organism led to the evolution of Giraffe ? Lets call that organism X. (I actually don't know what X is, is it a horse or a zebra or

Thanks. Is there a resource or a book on amazon that focuses on the testability of inter-species evolution ? I've been a bit frustrated by this as most people just allude to the fact that it took thousands or millions of years so hard

Life Pro tip: For some of these, hire a house cleaner and ask him/her about these questions (might have to pay extra for that). You can write down the steps they do and tell you to do, and try to repeat them. You will have a live demo

Having a one hit wonder is success. Forming a company around it to milk that brand is also a good strategy. But it would be naive to think every one hit wonder can be converted to a long term business strategy. Some can and some can't.

Yes, you're right. Relatively speaking, we have come quite far from 10 years ago. Using Google Now, searching for objects on Google+, doing facial recognition better than the average human, winning Jeopardy are all amazing achievements

You raise a valid point but for an orthogonal question. When I first saw a calculator, as a 5 year old, I thought it was the most amazing and intelligent thing ever. The original point discussed above was about how unnecessarily complex the

Edit: Look I didn't want to challenge your optimism. It is refreshing to believe that. But I have dealt with enough AI to know that most people have no idea what AI is. There is not much collaboration happening between the neuroscienti

You assume a-priori how the brain was formed. Perhaps the burden of proof could be in the reverse direction. Ever considered that ? If it was just a drawn out process of trial and error, surely hundreds of top AI researchers with 10,000s of

This argument would have merit if we were anywhere near biological intelligence in our "AI". We don't even understand how most of the brain works, what it does or how it does it. In fact if it was so simple even to re-create

You are not arguing against Tesla. You seem to be arguing against industry and materialism in general. Any industry will lead to some pollution in any state.

Why is this shirt sexist ? Since when are scantily clad women based themes sexist ? Or was it something he said that's missing in the article ?

It just makes me think IBM will never get the consumer the way other companies like Apple and Google do. There is nothing immediately actionable about how I can start using this from the get go. What the hell is bluemix ? Is that an interna

Apple fans can justify anything - so don't expect anyone to say, yeah they are behind the curve on this. The better answer is probably: "They simply don't care". No ifs and buts. Probably making it a bit exclusive and ha

"will seem more and more malevolent". Are you saying its not actually malevolent but is just being perceived as so because it is aggressive ?

Good to know, and something I have told new comers to development/software engineering/computer science repeatedly. If you don't have the good programmer or developer gene, no amount of practice is going to make you one. If y

Correlation vs causation has sort of become a cultural trapdoor to all new claims. In reality, it is very hard to find the actual cause of many things we take for granted. Its often that the first event that sets off the chain of events is

Well if that's what you plan to make for the rest of your life, then sure. It's not about the starting package. It's about your growth. Would you be happy doing that for 10 years ? 80K is nearly not enough for most ambitious

An android version would be great. This direction has great potential. An app is way better than a notepad. Reminders, categorization, tagging with skills, extracting patterns, these are very useful things.

Hmm the CNN article clearly says: "Uber acknowledged the tactics went overboard.". And this was for the exact same issue, 6 months ago. Are you saying Uber is trying to be nice to rivals be falsely acknowledging that they are assh

What is a good solution to deal with under performers from your perspective ? - Keep them ? Let them suck and just be compassionate. They have stomachs to feed. - Let them go over time, one by one. Can create a very fearful atmosphere where

Wow - way to feel entitled. Slackers have free reign in Europe? If you call them out, you are "broken" ? We can argue about the mechanics of letting low performers go. But this is nuts.

Ok, I understand the view point. But here are couple of questions to consider: 1. How do you know that CPCs are falling because of existing advertisers paying less vs. new advertisers in new markets/mobile are paying less ? I.e. what e

by nyrulez 12y ago
I don't understand your equalization of CPCs with value. They are not the same thing. In the early days, CPCs were low and advertisers were getting good margins. It doesn't mean those clicks were less valuable, just that there was

Sadly there is hardly any correlation between your PhD skills and interview skills...once you get to the interview, all the previous stuff is out. Only how you handle the interview matters. Not saying this is optimal, but thats the brutal t

Are you saying organic food is carcinogenic ? not sure what your point is. Or are you saying one shouldn't consume random stuff ? In that case, cinnamon is not random. It's a spice in use for thousands of years with many benefits

Ebay is known for very ineffective campaigns, which they tried to justify by publishing "papers". They basically claimed that the fact that search results exist, makes the advertising next to them mostly ineffective. There are so

From all the replies it appears to me that - in SF, either UberX is very cheap or normal taxis are ridiculous. - At least in NYC, the pricing is still much higher. And the huge variance in the price adds another degree of uncertainty, where

Am I the only one who thinks Uber prices are ridiculous compared to the yellow taxi ? I am fairly well to do, but am shocked by how no one flinches at the fare structure of Uber compared to yellow cab (which might be a tad bit more inconven

Are there no innovative technology companies in your country ? Or are they not hiring (you) for some reason ? Don't worry so much about the technology itself as the principles behind it. If you are just graduating, you have a lot of li
