But there wasn't enough hype around ML back then. A few Go wins later and it's getting a top spot.

Is it significantly less than you? In other words does it really justify shipping someone from across the world and going through the admin cost? I wonder if H1B worker is indeed cheaper, when is the break even point to justify the extra ad

As others are saying - the CO2 poisoning will make you unconscious way before O2 runs out. You can train for it tho, much like freedivers do if you plan on surviving in airtight containers for longer periods of time.

Can you correct me if I'm wrong but now Apple can repatriate some of it massive overseas cash hoard and offset it against the $450M fine without attracting any tax on it as it is a loss. technically their balance books will be $450M wo

Also no remote work either. To be honest I totally understand Google's approach here - let the young and bright live their entire lives on campuses, dump them when they're no longer productive or want family or just life outside o

If I could execute my share options finally and have enough money to reasonably last me until the end of my life, I'd probably go a similar route. It's probably bad for Twitter in the short term, but allows some upward mobility i

The article is interesting on a chemical level and explains the biochemical reactions really well. What I am really interested in is a higher level study on overall social and cognitive results of moderate drinking. I bet you 'll fin

Actually the reverse is true: you should compare XML (and related tech) vs JSON vs other options (say HTTP headers) and choose what's best for you. I've seen projects that are all about editing books and stubbornly use JSON, where

The article seems to overlook the fact that most of the 'value added' is created out of thin air and people can only tolerate so much bs. So while something like the value of Facebook likes is not immediately stealing money from i

I bet they had thought, let's turn up caching to the max so we don't get performance problems over Christmas.

The graph on HBR is a bit weird. Czech and Slovakia are just next to each other geographically (used to be same country), Czech are pretty far in terms of getting things done digitally and yet they are classed as rapidly receding, Slovakia

What next, actual, physical, bare metal servers for better performance? I am actually doing this already for my test instances - the server running in our office is running Linux and docker with no intermediate vm layer.

For small businesses it does. There's a huge cost to be compliant with the regulations in medical and aviation space, so you don't see many successful startups and not much progress as a result. We are still flying WWII rockets an

This is because the social contract still says we should all be working (and be rewarded for that work) but there is leas and less 'real' work around. So people invent 'work' like tracking marginal improvements, which ma

It is pretty cool but not really serverless, you are still handling http requests via Amazon API gateway and in general you are relying and paying for quite a lot of Amazon services. Not sure how much better this approach is to serving imag

As someone who still makes a decent living off coding, I must agree with the comments here - a better backend DB is not going to save the project. Get the users, get the contributors, listen to the feedback and don't rewrite the whole

Totally agree with this. The Greek culture goes way back and perhaps the original Olympic games in 776 BC is a better starting point to understand the context. Greece should have never been allowed in Euro zone - it was forced in part throu

I think we'd need some proof that the behaviour focused on cashing out in the short term is good for anybody but the investor. Y Combinator 'growth fund' on the other hand, is a good idea if it is what I think it is. It addre

I have a Skype In number. Most of the time I am able to take the call on one of Skype clients - on the desktop, laptop or mobile. For the case this still doesn't work, this gets forwarded to a Skype Out number - in this case my mobile.

If they are local services that still sell online, you can charge mimal amounts for sending traffic to their website and even more if they end up purchasing something. If the business is not online selling, you can still charge them so the

Anyone else can't watch videos at work? I technically can, but don't have any headphones so I ended up watching with auto closed captioning. Suffice to say, it was a bit less entertaining than the original Die Hard 3.

That's why you want to use volumes for mutable data such as your source code repo - you isolate the changing parts and keep the containers static.

Easy, pay me more than the competition (big corporates, public sector etc) Because of the increased risk of default, you have to offer more. So convince seed/angel funders and then seek me
