I built a recommended like this at a prior job. We carefully tested it against the original “naive” algorithm which was used direct user behavior clustering. What was interesting is that the naive algorithm got better over time and the incr

tl;dr: compound interest works both ways This is a shallow analysis. It doesn't anticipate any sort of growth in the value of the stock. If you can't find a way to grow $50M at even 1% per year, I fear for your fiscal health.

This maybe considered the opposite: live preventing coding. I designed a matching algorithm for a dating website - okcupid - just before dating my (now) wife. I met with their CTO and convinced him it’d work over lunch at Mary Chung’s. He g

The $75k I spend is going to be tuned for how I’ll use it. That counts for a lot, at least for me. And resale value calculations don’t take into account the joy and utility the changes afford you. Again, I value those highly.

That article (which is 6 weeks old) disagrees with your point: “The data also shows that in Sweden, which has adopted a different approach with no lockdown in place, excess deaths peaked at 46%.”

I’d say that suggesting Barber is “reaching beyond the obvious.” is a wonderful example of Dunning-Kruger. It is breathtaking that you’re willing to write off the work of a brilliant expert. “Professor emerita of archaeology and linguistics

I'm downvoting it because it is willfully, thoughtfully, and purposefully attempting to argue that there is no racially motivated correlation between these datasets. There is. Constructing a convoluted worldview in which there isn&#x2

Are you all working with https://www.flikshop.com/ ? If not, I’m happy to put you in contact. Do you have any (formerly?) incarcerated members on your leadership team?

Drop me a line, help me get these PPEs in clinician hands.

I've spent the last month setting up a company to build PPEs, so I hope to bring an interesting perspective here. Most importantly: production ramps slowly because of the implications of structural organization. 1. From what I can tel

The bit I don’t understand is how you carefully infect the bulk of young people and simultaneously keep the older folks uninflected.

“ Current price-gouging laws “are not built for today’s day and age,” Mr. Colvin said. “They’re built for Billy Bob’s gas station doubling the amount he charges for gas during a hurricane.”” That is exactly what he is doing.

A physician can have you committed to be forcibly detained if they believe you’ll hurt yourself. They can have your children taken away. They can have your vehicle license revoked: car or aircraft. I still want one that is well educated and

I believe it is because they’re made of plastics which need more width to provide the same strength. The narrower seats (I used Radians) all appear to have metal frames instead. And they weigh more!

What’s going on with the missing spaces in that article? “ the decision to retire the Hipmunk product. ” If there isn’t even anyone left to do minimal copy proofing, perhaps it is time to shut down.

This is flatly incorrect. The Canadian healthcare system doesn’t even have the concept of “pre-existing condition”. That term is deeply flawed and was constructed by the healthcare insurance system in the USA. The term used in Canada is “me

For me you’re demeaning the word “slavery” by suggesting that anything in this discussion is even close to that level of horrific, evil brutality.

Based on the article, I'd expect that he disagrees with you. Strongly.

It gets better. Way better. Last night I explained quicksort to one kid. Now we are designing cards to laser cut. The kids get interesting and independent quicker than you might imagine. The days are long, but the years are fast.
