If it's good for the ISP, then Netflix shouldn't have to pay for it, which would make it okay, right?

Oh geeze. Yup. I even read the Twitter follow-up. Too late to edit, though

But it is an issue if there's bias towards certain (more expensive) repairs for those models.

I'm not saying Gawker is a martyr here. But if you haven't, you really ought to read Benedict Evans piece on this: > Again, though, Thiel has already won. He is fabulously wealthy and extremely influential, and say what you wil

I wouldn't say they're equivalent. I find a private, rich entity shutting down a media company much scarier than a media company publishing facts.

Oh good point -- it does say they were separate teams. Should one read previous implementation? That's a difficult question. If you're worried about losing your perspective from seeing a single solution, then perhaps you're r

... "merely" went looking for reasons to sue Gawker and happened to find a big one. He has funded multiple suits against Gawker. He wasn't giving a friend some money, he was explicitly searching out cases to take down a media

Two things. Both Gawker and Thiel are in the wrong here. 1) It feels obviously wrong to me to have someone publicly outed like that. [like you say, the evidence doesn't matter] 2) It feels sketchy for a wronged person to retaliate by h

This actually seems like a really nice option. It allows you to get a loan for a cheaper car, and once that is paid off, you can upgrade it.

This is kind of an absurd point because it's not obvious that manufacturing different types of batteries would actually be more environmentally friendly. More complicated logistics could also be detrimental to the environment.

This is a really great case study, but I can't help but think some of the improvement comes from it being the second attempt at the project. I'd really like to see some case studies going the other way: F# --> C# [or C++]. At t

Agreed. I think it's a pretty big open problem for ML / AI. How can learning about one thing help you do better at a related thing? Because you're absolutely right that a human who is good at one platformer will take very lit

I think this technique -- in the title of the paper -- would transfer somewhat to other games, because it essentially encourages the player to go places it hasn't been [without simultaneously having it explore everything thoroughly]. S

Oh, I think I get it now. I think they mean that in one play [ie 4 lives], it solves significantly more than any previous network.

I'm not sure that it's as cut and dried as you describe. If I understand correctly, GiveDirectly is uncertain about the effectiveness of their programs outside of their current "pilot" countries. [there are lots of facto

Is it a speed thing? Like do you think they're fighting with their own layers of bureaucracy? Is there a way to make obtaining warrants more transparent and straightforward? It honestly seems like they could design a better system that

Sadly, the issue has become quite politicized, and that means that millions throw their support for a cause without evidence.

This isn't the government compelling a viewpoint. Imagine if there were people who insisted the moon were made of cheese. You wouldn't frown upon their views not being "heard" in public schools because it's bullshit

Neither side here looks great. It's reasonable for someone to sue Gawker because of what they publish. It's a bit scary to have someone attempt to take down a publishing company just because of a long-held grudge. That's a te

At Google, the answer is a firm no. Someone else commented on the "we just spent a million dollars training them, why would we fire them now?" quote which is commonly thrown around. People get fired for leaks and being intentional

If Olympics increase annual tourism by 10% as I have seen elsewhere and in this thread, then that effectively doubles the tourism to Rio for the duration of the Olympics. As others have pointed out, there are poor countries that have troubl

Your proposal would never work: the Olympics need to be decentralized for it to feel "fair."

You wouldn't stop the worldwide spread -- just delay it. This was mentioned in the Harvard Public Health Review [1]. Time is important, here, because scientists are racing the spread of Zika to develop eg vaccines. [1] http:/&#x2
