Not nitpicking, genuinely curious. L10? I've never heard of that climbing scale.

I think temperature is a property based on the average kinetic energy of particles in a system. The frequency of a proton, I imagine, would be an intrinsic property.

I have questions: you describe the change of states of particle as "a smooth transition between being in one energy state to being in a superposition of two energy states to being entirely in the second energy state."

Semi-related question: if photons can have various frequencies, does that mean protons can have various frequencies?

Age affects everyone, so there's a larger pool of people to make posts and fewer people who would disagree with the negative effects of aging.

From what you've said, it's my interpretation that if the 10 year interest rate falls below the 5 year interest rate, then it means that bond purchasers speculate that money in 10 years will have more purchasing power than money i

The guest who speaks after Vijaya, Tim Pool, got my fight or flight reflex up just by listening to him talk. It's hard to engage with someone when it feels like an outlet for their aggression rather than a discussion. His words were sa

I do get that in the example given there's only one element in each of the true/predicted vectors, but it threw me off for a sec.

Friendly comment: at the beginning of section 4 there's this sum: 1 ∑(y_true - y_pred)^2 i=1 There's no 'i' in the sum, should probably be y_true_i - y_pred_i.

> 20% more each day I think it's 25% more. To get to 40hrs/week, one would need to work 10hrs/day instead of 8hrs/day.

I'm bothered by how frequently people paraphrase this quote Dijkstra to suit their own purposes. Borrowing a famous quote makes me think that they need the help sounding credible.

I can't recommend this highly enough. Before, I had been working with IBM Clearcase and SVN, so I don't feel like I "got" git until I saw, visually, the following: * interactive rebasing * how remote branches are represe

You could make 16 teams of 6 and give each one a different startup idea. You could then create some metric for success and then choose to continue to work on the one with the most success.

Good post, but I couldn't disagree more. Regardless of your business size, it will always be valuable to know information such as: * How does every additional coupon-dollar affect the total amount a customer buys? * What is the relatio

As a "junior" applying to data science positions, I have a 50/50 mix of "no way I'm qualified for that", and "that sounds like a really fun problem."

Where are you getting the 1 cent reduction quantity? My only point was that a greater supply of drivers could yield a lower price, but I never asserted to what degree the price would decrease.

I disagree. Uber facilitates the process of becoming a driver, therefore there will be a larger supply of drivers. I believe the price of a fare will decrease due to the increased competition.
