Prediction: Color me pessimistic, but it's obviously not going to be the entire picture. This explanation is going to live that sort of vague truth/lie land that the majority of news today exists. It will instill confidence amongs

Never assumed the day where I would have intimate knowledge of HN topic would arise. This is my space. A very crowded space, and incredibly chaotic, where data is outright wrong most of the time. Personally, I don't prediction should

Incredible, but wasn't this kind of available though psycopg2 (postgres connector), SQLAlchemy or any other kind of database connection library ? I realise the difference between the kernels altogether, but how is one better than the o

See, I don't buy this (I'm not arguing with you, just initiating a conversation). There is no doubt we are incredibly complex, so much so that we've not been able to crack the puzzle that is "us". We invent crude me

Why would you sell your goose that lays golden eggs? Even if you think that the goose might be getting older and less fertile, it doesn't make sense. It only makes sense if you know when the goose is gonna run out of eggs. And in this

I agree with your first sentence, but not so much with your second. He's the best out there now as he's got the pick of his guests (the result of a forward feedback loop of being a good interviewer). But view/listen to enough

okay, it does sound like you know what you're on about... I'm a skeptic as well, but I'm not a physicist (I am an engineer so I know the basics). I however, cannot throw a convincing rebuttal to this. All I know, is that a hi

It seems like a very French thing to make the 'conquered' (or in this case, employed) part of oneself. Antithetical to any other way of merely being the administrative authority over the employed. Schneider Electric (again a Frenc

I wonder why its unethical to test such things on human beings. I'm assuming it's unethical, because there rarely seems to be any damn work on this using humans. Those rats ran themselves to death, will we humans? We share about 9

Thank you, I just read through that and it's all very anxiety inducing. Probably because it's true. I'll give it a try. I realise I need to.

It's chilling when you see a description of what you are doing, online, in a random click that you just made. I have OCD, and hide it well. Looks like I have ON and have not hid it well at all. I run obsessively, eat extremely clean an

How far away is that? 20 years? That's 20 years worth of "laughing all the way to the bank" for that guy. Also, does every business need to scale more than 1 employee? Even if it's 2, 3 people max, that level of "f

The machine recognizing you was the harder problem. That's the "Minority Report" stuff that people thought was in the _far far_ future that we don't have to worry about constantly. Storing and using that model across var

Let's assume that they knew this was a half baked product. Not a "first edition" product like the first iPhone, but a rushed, half baked product, released without consideration of sales but just for being the first in the mar

Perhaps you're thinking of Fermat[0], who famously remarked "I have discovered a truly remarkable proof of this theorem which this margin is too small to contain.", and promptly proceeded to take the solution with him to the

I suppose the amount of stress/strain held within these rocks will be hard to ascertain. If these earthquakes occur periodically, sure that gives us a better estimate, but we still don't know the unintended consequences of trigger

Yes absolutely, we're just exploiting potential energy here, and that was my point, perhaps I wasn't clear enough. That's why the efficiency of the power plant (if this energy would have been captured) would have been a sight

(Disclaimer: Not American) I've been reading NYT for a long while now, and I've been noticing more and more of these "medicines are more expensive here" trope. There's half an answer isn't there? The US is subs

dannykwells' link has got all the good points for why a Jupyter Notebook is kinda disadvantageous, but what about the new Jupyter Lab? It's not got support for simple code/header folding yet. That's an issue.

Who's to blame when the model sees 'red' ? Management needs a head, a model isn't one yet.

So what happens with all this data? I'm willing to bet some of it is pretty critical[valid credit card details?], it might end up in the Dark Web, auctioned off or something like that. Some of it is useless (not valid anymore, or just

That's a deep rabbit hole. What about the will of those on JusticeServed? Were they free to decide to be on that? As a naive young person, I hoped that a metal illness was just that, an illness that can be cured. After discovering mine

Plotly's got one great feature: Dash apps, that's it. It's true bokeh can take a bit of work to get it to look like plotly, but I don't need to pay for it. I think that's a more 'scalable' feature of bokeh

The yield curve has been flattening for a while now, especially for longer term (10Y, 20Y, 30Y T-Bills) securities [0, 1, 2]. As confidence in the government (i.e through a trade war) dips, as interest rate hikes become more of a reality,
