It doesn't look like the did. At least not the ML course https://see.stanford.edu/Course/CS229/47 Still has that blistering audio though, wish somebody would regulate that to a lower volume. :)

Like someone else said in another thread. It is not clear to me that giving out an opinion as to the value of a house is illegal.

I don't believe the article is correct in the definition of appraisals. A valuation or an approximation of value by impartial, properly qualified persons; the process of determining the value of an asset or liability, which entails

I think the difficulty is scaling the "art" of estimating prices. Any single home I could sit down and give a good estimate but to come up with a fully automated way to do that seems pretty tough still. I'm also not sure that

But how does getting an appraisal license protect bank people and real estate agents? Isn't an appraiser subject to the same moral shortcomings as any regular person? And only allowing state licensed appraisers to give value estimates

Usually this is mitigated by the appraisal. Lenders generally aren't willing lending more than a home is appraised for because of the increased risk. I'm sure this varies from state to state but I think this holds mostly true in g

I just read an article that there revenue for 2016 was estimated to be $400 million. Not bad. I don't know what the profits were but I would guess that gets them 'unicorn status.' :)

Also not OP but I am an ATL engineer: I moved here from Philadelphia and was surprised that from an engineer's perspective the tech scene was significantly better in ATL. There were more jobs at more interesting companies. Obviously th

Interesting, I hadn't thought about C#, though recently I was talking to a recruiter who wanted me to interview for a C# position. :p

I have never personally experienced a project failing because of technical debt. I have experienced "the opposite" of that where there was such a focus on doing things "the right way" it felt to me like development was s

The algorithm would have to examine the HTML returned by the URLs to determine they are duplicate pages. There is no way to determine they are duplicate pages by just analyzing the URLs. It is not impossible to have two different posts to H

This is cool. I think "visual learners" or whatever it's called are a bit on the fringe in CS but we do exist. When starting something new, I learn much more easily by video or discussion with people. As I become more comfort

As a SnapChat user, I don't really notice "ads." There are things like stories (which I am guessing are things that they charge money to people to get placement) and promoted filters and overlays you can put on your pictures.

I agree. I realize that I'm in a field (software development) that is still a great market and this strategy might not apply everywhere but I do believe there are a lot of other industries where this attitude can still work. Most of my

I can't speak for other large corporations but Oracle does not follow this practice. My experience with small businesses (which employ more Americans than large corporations) is that they too have not followed a practice of guaranteein

Anybody know when/if this type of treatment could be used? Any idea of the increase in the effectiveness of cancer treatments using this technology? I read the article and skimmed the paper but didn't get an idea of whether or not

I was going to post the same thing. I found it interesting that the parent comment thought that quote was one of the highlights of the article. To me the quote is far too vague to be converted into anything executable. My impression is that

OP is just saying that in general even a pretty novice programmer who also strongly believed in the MVP mindset still wouldn't store images directly in the database. I think he was just using S3 as an example since it is the most popul

I would agree that my language was a bit loose but what I'm talking about still applies as long as the viewer can turn their head. The main issue I was thinking about was that you cannot say for sure where your audience is looking at a

As someone who wears glasses, I actually have the opposite experience. The Vive accommodates the glasses pretty easily. I've wondered about the display difference though. I've had a lot more time in a Vive and am going to get to c

I've heard that but I really suspect that is just some story put out largely for PR sake. The resolution is something around 720p per eye. But that essentially means 720p total, right? Because the "per eye" part basically mea

VR definitely hits games and porn pretty naturally, right now. Games like Hover Junkers are an example of great early execution in this medium. I think VR movies are a still a bit off, though I could be totally wrong. The reason I say that

I do use my browser on my iPhone still though, quite a bit. I think if webVR makes it possible to make more "VR friendly" interfaces for websites, it could be really helpful. As a web developer, I shudder at the idea of "resp
