What about exactly this growth in the middle of the cooking and eating out space with (mentioned in the article) the likes of Blue Apron? It seems like people can still cook what they like with some degree of control over what they eat whil

I agree, mealprepping really helps a lot and I do it too. I think, as you and justwannasing already mentioned, part of the problem is really a lack of time. We went from spending a large part of our time sourcing food (hunting), to growing

Interestingly... Walmart Net Income: $15bn Amazon Net Income: -$250mn Despite that huge lead by Walmart in sales (5x), they're only left with about 3.2% of profit. Of course that's better than 0...but the interesting thing is how

I agree it is up to the people in charge to ensure the company succeeds. I just meant they seemed like hard-working people but perhaps could have identified the failures earlier on. Also I listed 5 failures (not just customer/supplier

I don't understand, what's with the attitude, dude? I didn't downvote you.

It seems the main problems Homejoy faced were: - not able to increase retention rates and get organic growth - heavy reliance on discounted pricing - rapid (too ambitious?) expansion strategy - customers and contractors bypassing the servi

It is propping up the rest of their business (which is doing very well but like others have said has very low or negligible margins). If anything, they could leverage their cloud tech further in the consumer space by developing uses for it

It's amazing that Kepler continues to discover new planets and (I hope) it will get to the point where we just expect it to be the norm. Oh, another planet in the Goldilocks zone? It's just a shame it'll be a long time before

I'm very excited about this aspect and their focus on being CO2 neutral. I'm not entirely convinced yet and would be interested to know the energy source split (particularly more about how they use the NBG). Also allowing people t

T would. E interesting if, for a premium, they allow people to take the Wheelys cart and apply their own branding to it. Which could kick off a whole wave of independent coffee businesses a la Etsy but for coffee and purely offline. I'

And combine it with holographic technology to have 3D Skype calls with them too?

It leads me to wonder why we haven't seen (or at least heard about the development of) an operating system with purely voice "UI" based on an RNN... Especially after Her came out. I understand it's hard but it also sound

Ha! What do you mean by human error though? An analogy with the self-driving cars example could be the human inadvertently made a typo when inputting the text sample in the above link...whereas if the dataset used in "teaching" th

What online beginner machine learning courses or templates would you recommend that utilize R?

Oh cool, thanks for the explanation! And I take it what's in the black box is the key to figuring out how to make AI truly alive?

I feel terrible for her family as well, perhaps not even knowing exactly what led her to do this (in which case some people may end up feeling guilty).

Same here, unless I'm extremely tired then sleep comes minutes after staring at a bright screen. When do you exercise though? I find exercise before bed makes it easier for me to sleep but others I've spoken to seem to get too pum

This is a great suggestion and hits the point about "small wins". What do you mean however when you say simple?

by sarwechshar 11y ago
That's interesting because I tend to use devices in bed too but find my sleep time varies. I'll give the f.lux and Twilight apps a go!

Thanks a lot for this! I didn't realize probabilities would be so important but I've been working with conditional expectations (not sure if it is relevant in machine learning) but it was an eye opener. Another great introduction
