There are no "floodgates" to open. FYI if you're an RN, you can get an EB-2 I-140 approved without any sponsorship, under the National Interest Waiver. They're considered to be in perpetual shortage. The fact that people

>The cost of delivering the video decreases over time and unlike Netflix which has to pay for content YouTube doesnt which gives it tremendously better margins. Youtube has to share it's revenue with content creators, unlike Netflix

This is a classic argument but it doesn't hold when one needs to work for their basic needs in order to survive (food, clothing, shelter, healthcare). If basic needs are gauranteed in some way for everyone, then yes, you don't nee

They assume YouTube's content costs will scale similarly to Netflix, which doesn't appear correct to me, mainly because YouTube content is largely user generated and I would assume orders of magnitude more new content is uploaded

Tipping isn't the problem here. It's about establishing baseline pay. Restaurant staff shouldn't be paid lower than minimum wage, which is already pretty low and be expected to make it up with tips.

You can subscribe to their newsletter. I was subscribed but eventually got bored as their content was too generic and not actionable

Interesting that they choose Kotlin instead of Julia or swift for differential programming. Is there a resource that talks about various applications of differential programming ? I am only aware of its use in optimization and reinforcement

Video calling is still pretty bad compared to the reliability of phone calls. I wish there was some paid video call service that offered phone call like reliability over any kind of network.

I'm happy Google is looking to move to a user funded model from an ad funded model for atleast some of its services.

It's easier to leave the borders alone and allow free movement of people and trade. Borders will eventually become irrelevant. Like the EU

The disruption is usually not worth it once generations have built their lives and have built their homes based on an existing border regime. Read about the India Pakistan partition. How would you feel if you have to leave behind everything

TLDR - extractive economic systems built on a system of patronage, hard to disrupt

Yeah you just need an accelerometer and you can find out if your damper is broken with an FFT. OEMs are just very price sensitive so only the expensive vehicles will get this, even if it's a cheap component.

This seems restricted to just an oscillating system. Neural ODEs (DiffEqFlux) seem a bit more general than this to learn any kind of dynamical system

I wonder if it is possible to make a "meta" service where you can rotate Netflix, HBO, Prime Video etc. every 3 months

As an Indian on H1B I am so happy to hear this. This will reduce staffing company abuse. However the minimum wage levels right now are so unrealistically high it might not even matter as these slots will go unfilled.

What is typically the point of a logo redesign ? When is it appropriate to redesign a logo ?

This is something I've wondered about too. If I were to guess, these might be potential roadblocks (no pun intended): - Insurance, since you're transporting others stuff at highway speeds - You still need a CDL driver right now (n

Why (asking seriously). I am not doubting the validity of the correlation. I just want to know how one can use this info properly.

I'm an engineer and if I present any model with an R2 of 0.35 it would be flat out rejected because it would be worse than random chance and they won't use the model to make decisions. Assuming the R2 here is indeed correct how do

Serious Q: I remember taking an IQ test long back and it was a bunch of pattern matching questions. How did they figure out that good performance in this correlates with cognitive abilities that translates to real life intellect at tasks ?
