I wouldn't be surprised if they start out with "last mile" drivers to deal with off-highway driving.

I think the idea is that AlphaGo decided that the "strong" moves, while it may have increased its lead, would have been more risky than moves that just fortified its current lead.

Because college students are a much higher risk. You can argue that 8% is too high, but you can't argue that college students are more likely to pay back loans than big banks.

FWIW, I use Sublime/Jetbrain products for most of my programming and I always turn on vim keybindings. It isn't 100% the same as actual vim, but it is still faster than a mouse for me.

And now this will drive traffic to the subreddit and continue to slow down the progress to 0. :(

I get that only when I'm zoomed in 110% on my browser. Zooming messes with the logic. I don't think it needs more work, it's just a fun demo.

I think it's important to remember that Instagram is a part of Facebook. That bumps their market share up quite a bit.

Well it's also 1.1 billion active users per month, so that makes it slightly better IMO.

I'm going to an orthodontist tomorrow for a consultation. The extra few thousand are well worth it in my opinion to get it done right without potentially damaging my teeth.

> Right now, writing code in PHP can hurt an engineer's reputation more than writing DRM code in any language. That's pretty ridiculous IMHO. I mean, you just completely made that up.

My favorite us of this technique was at Hack Princeton a while back. Some people made an app that lets you take pictures of blackboards, automatically cropping and fixing the perspective of the board for later use.

I enjoy RMS's take on being a "hacker": http://www.stallman.org/articles/on-hacking.html Specifically, "Playfully doing something difficult, whether useful or not, that is hacking."

It hasn't been removed because of exactly what you say; it would break a lot of sites. If it is a change that breaks a good portion of the web, they rightfully shouldn't make that change.

If it is only shared with the people who you originally shared it with, what is the problem?

Nope. I'm an intern there and usually work ~10-6, call my girlfriend back home/hang out for a bit with people, eat, and go home. There's really no judging, everyone seems super chill.

Just to chime in, there is zero pressure at Yahoo to stay and eat dinner on campus. In fact, not too many people stay unless there was an event going on before hand or something. Most people just leave. But as you said, it depends on the co

Doesn't work exclusively with the Chrome Inspector. Having the downloads bar at the bottom sets this off as well, for example.

It's quite simple and sufficient to say something along the lines of "You are right, we are working on this. In the mean time check out some example code here...".

Not a very good way to handle potential users. It is quite the turn off while deciding between different JS frameworks to have someone representing the codebase refusing to respond to a user's troubles.

And it is terrible for legitimizing them. Why should someone adopt Bitcoins as a currency if there's not a stable value? Bring in all of the security issues that have been popping up as its popularity has increased and I see a decline in Bi

I'm not an expert, but I would assume X would have a genetic mutation that branches off of the lineage of X-1 and continues on, now technically being "human". Obviously this isn't a single person, but rather an estimate for the time period

Because it is completely reasonable for providers to give you a locked phone for a price subsidized by a 2 or so year contract. Nothing stops you from buying an unsubsidized, unlocked phone.
