Author here. No, it's not related to Udacity. It's my own side project.

I'm intrigued! How do you interact with these images right now? Do you display it on screen and rotate it with the mouse? Can you elaborate a bit more about how would a VR/AR solution add value here other than being a fancier sol

My understanding of the upper age limit is that it's the "natural" limit (i.e. if you don't take medicine and gene therapies and such). The goal of these new anti-aging therapies is to raise that natural limit.

I wonder if an Uber subscription might get around that transaction barrier. For example, a $100/month plan gives you up to a 100 Uber travel miles per month. Similar to how phone plans give you a certain amount of talk time minutes.

Thanks for the clarification. I'd change "early proof of concept" to "a specialized framework", but the other observations stand, I believe. It's totally fine that it's a specialized framework, and it does

Exactly what you said. The declarative approach is great for the common architectures, but if your requirements are different, and the JSON format doesn't have a way to declare it then you're stuck.

At a glance: - Only supports fully connected layers for now. No convnets or RNNs. - Requires a GPU. No option to run on CPU, not even for development. - Setup instructions for Ubuntu only. No Mac or Windows. - Uses JSON to def

Must be an isolated issue. I run two App Engine apps and send 30K emails a day and I haven't noticed any change in my email open/click stats, which implies that emails are being delivered as usual.

I hope the TensorFlow team is working on improving its performance. Anyone know if they're working on that?

This should be a standard feature in HN. The other pain point is the up/down arrows being so close to each other on mobile that I have to zoom in, vote, then zoom out.

Sorry, man. Based on what you wrote and how you wrote it I'm sensing that you might be the one with the massive ego.

Yes, this is the longest downtime I've had on App Engine for years. I've been up all night and the app engine team were up working on it as well and sending updates. It seems that the default authentication method broke for some a

We're affected. All Cloud Storage reads/writes are down for 14 hours now :( Edit: It's back up now.

Agreed. And the OP going out of his way to push for it is sad. There are more important problems to spend your time on than trying to make it easier to insult each other. If you want to insult someone, you can still do it in English. Your f

Nice idea! But it didn't work for me when I tried to login to my site. It opens a Facebook auth popup for the login.

Just because you can hack another app doesn't mean you should. You're just enabling another form of spam. There are more interesting things you can work on. Don't be that guy.

Same with Google+. I always get Hangout invites to the wrong Google account, and then we spend 10 minutes trying to get the call started and eventually switch to Skype.

A factor that's usually forgotten is the developer's time. App Engine saves you A LOT of time compared to other solutions. * Once you write your app the App Engine way, it scales automatically. You don't need to re-write peri

You don't succeed by being a jerk. But if you're a smart entrepreneur, you may succeed despite being one.

Thank you. I cache images on App Engine. I have a simple API to force cache eviction (email me if you need it). There are no restrictions other than the attribution link.

It's two parts: An App Engine/Python for the UI and user registration, and a Linux server for image capturing (Python, Javascript, RabbitMQ, ...etc.). At first we used popular libraries like Phantomjs, but eventually had to write

I don't yet. I needed a service like this a while ago and the existing ones were too expensive for my level of traffic, so I built one and then decided to open it up to others as well. That was years ago and it grew over time. I never

I was pleasantly surprised by these results. Language adaption is not linear, it follows an S curve. So while 22% are on Python 3 after 5 years, we can expect to reach 80% much faster.

Not too easy, but not as hard as people expect either. The App Engine SDK is open sourced. This is the layer that connects your code to Google's infrastructure. There are a couple of projects that have taken that SDK and modified it to

Only about 200 DAU (3K MAU), some are paying and the rest are on a 30-day free trial. But we do a lot of processing for each user. For example, we have a unified inbox for all your mentions and messages from all your social networks, so we

I think of it as paying a little extra to outsource the boring parts of my job to Google. I don't worry about sharding, load balancing, replication, ...etc. I've done those in the past, and it wasn't that exciting. I like spe
