I'm tempted to make a sarcastic, hyperbolic reply to this hyperbolic and aggressive comment, but in the spirit of hacker news I'll address the content directly. You imply that the only way to mitigate the problem of fake news (no

Unless they are tightly locked down by the manufacturers. Perhaps jihadis will not be able to hack them in such a way as to take remote control, and perhaps the manufacturers will eventually make the automatic not-plowing-into-pedestrian sy

I don't see any claim in that article that this is a myth. They merely discuss variants of the story. Fwiw, I have heard Steinmetz as the origin of this, a possibility they discuss in the article without explicitly confirming or refuti

The analysis in your link of this document is very flawed. They only consider tailpipe emissions from a gas vehicle. Without considering the GHG cost of an electric car in total vs cost to manufacture an equivalent gas vehicle in addition

Indeed, this is something I have found to be true as well. To add to your point, when preparing to explain the reason I have to turn down a request I find that it forces me to reevaluate. Sometimes I find that the request is actually reaso

That's not a constructive comment.

From a civilian perspective, hypothetically speaking, why should we continue to fund the GI Bill if it's just going to be wasted? In a world where too many of the veterans get fleeced and get nothing for the money it would be rational

You're right that with repeated sampling you can learn more about the data set. If I understand it correctly, I think the solution to that in DP is that you have a limit to how many times you can make your repeated query before you hav

I think calling it prediction is a bit of a strong claim. It would probably be more accurate to say that deep patient comes to a diagnosis before the EDIT:s/prediction/physician, rather than necessarily predicting the future disea

Same here, especially since I am working on the same problem and in fact also plan to try out denoising autoencoders to reduce the sparse EMR data into more learnable features. I am also using NLP on the medical notes to generate additiona

I would be very interested to know if anyone is using that in practice. It seems like a promising concept.

Could you elaborate on what 10 does better than 7 on this?

Yes, Windows 7. I have heard that newer version are no better in this regard but can't speak for them directly as I am still on 7.

I recently traded away a 4K monitor for a 1080p that was better in other respects because Windows 7's handling of high resolution is still, seemingly, no better than it ever has been in recent versions of Windows. I have yet to find a

Regarding Brooks, I've read him quite a bit as well. At this point it has become a source of entertainment to me to find out with each article how he will manage to take a factual premise and reasonable arguments to arrive at a nonsequ

I think providing location/COL adjustments would be a big mistake for a UBI system. Providing a flat rate encourages people to move to lower-COL places which would reduce the amount of economic activity tied up in rent. It seems to me

If you haven't seen it, season 2 of The Wire is mostly concerned with this. Although the show is fictional so I can't vouch for its accuracy on this, but it goes into a good deal of detail.

I've often heard that but I think it's more correct to say that both parties may think it's beneficial to them. Ultimately it is a zero-sum situation where it benefits one party more. When one party decides it's getting

As someone else who is a landlord, I would undercut you by a small margin to ensure I'm taking in rental income. Depending on supply (which you care naught about) you may find yourself sitting on empty units priced at 1/3 UBI wond

I've never heard that interpretation of that before, but it makes so much sense. Stealing as copying done better. thanks

I can provide an anecdote. At my last company the top salesperson was a frumpy middle aged person who requested an office in the back corner of the basement far away from other people. This person consistently outperformed the other more ty
