NVIDIA is always publishing just the numbers that it wants to publish. There are still improvements, but they are slowing down.. I'm sure the engineers did their best. The announcement skipped energy usage as well.

It would be so cool to have a high tax on sugar (and saturated fat). It has at least as much damaging effect as weed. I know it's not the perfect solution but it would force companies who want to sell in shops to decrease using it.

You haven't been on many cross-atlantic flights on economy seats if you think so

The Taxi fares were artificially raised a lot by Orban a few years ago and the prices are fixed. I stopped using taxis at that point and was forced to bring people to the airport myself. Uber was welcome by all the people in Hungary, with m

The nice thing here is that it's on record, so it's either true or false fact, none of the other bullshit talk is interesting.

It's sad that for most of the world cheap enough electric self driving cars will come faster than good public transport

Missing production target is OK. Shipping crappy cars is not OK.

There are enough youtube videos with people falling asleep in Tesla on the highway and a Tesla switching lanes and almost causing a frontal crash. These are known problems. Maybe a billion miles are needed for a fatal crash, but for small m

Having the same fatality statistic was not enough for Google to bring autonomous driving into production. Many people think that it should be at least an order of magnitude safer than manual driving

> So they are using the exchange they founded to price their bitcoin trust.............hmmmm It's the other way around: they wanted an ETF, so they needed to create a regulated exchange that has all the required licenses

At least they get rid of the housing problem if companies move away

Probably you are right, I don't know too much about the situation, as lots of important facts are always missing from news reports

It looks like they don't really care about distributed systems. With the current software methodologies planned global outages are not acceptable. It's still sad that banks like this can be one of the biggest because of their mono

AFAIK people need to vote in a prime minister who would trigger Chapter 50. It's similar to the 2nd EU Referendum.

I'm working at one of those companies and I prefer the bureaucracy and real big data & machine learning over iterating on the web platform (Rails, Javascript, Angular...). With small companies it felt like I had to create features

I really don't understand why good employees work in startups instead of going to an IPO-ed company. Most of the time in the current climate they are worse off.

I wouldn't switch to an unstable browser just to improve battery life. It just shows that they're not really trying to get a fair test. I'm running ad blocker in Chrome and it works perfectly. I'd be interested if they c

There are so many innovations that can be done in the world (and to Android itself as well), but another new OS is not one that would make sense (maybe a HTML5+JS based, but there are already open source OSs based on that). Even Microsoft h

Right now it is, but as they built the rocket, they are able to repair it and save money for sure. From what Elon said, landing was the tougher part. He was much more sure about being able to relaunch some of the stage 1s (except 1) than ab

Google Toolbar, Chrome and Android: all of these were created with the goal to increase the number of searches. If Android wouldn't have been created, Apple could ask as much revenue sharing from Google as they want and slowly destroy

Glassdoor doesn't look at the tax differences (use a tax calculator), the fact that Google gives you 8.5% pension that you can use either to buy a flat (I have done it from my Swiss pension money), create a company or use it in emergen

I'm moving back to Google Zurich. The male/female ratio is a huge issue there, so it's good to bring a girlfriend, but cost of living was never a problem. Taxes are minimal, salary at Google Zurich is huge.

Am I the only one who thought the landings are already starting to be boring? Smoke, rocket is there, cheers from the engineers...I remember Musk expected a few months ago to be able to save 10-20% of the Stage 1 this year (while the ratio

How can an virtual object (a photo of a woman seen on a monitor) be objectified? The model meant that photo to be used as an object (looked at). If she wanted people to understand her personality more, she would have just written a book.

Actually I like it quite often, although I would prefer it to just turn on location setting when I select ,,current location'' in directions.

Find another job, but don't quit, as it makes salary negotiation much harder. Do the interviews in the background. Also if some engineer you worked with has left the company, ask him to help find job for you.

Google probably will have many times the ASICs compared to what it had against Lee Sedol, and there have been lots of new tricks in the past few months with convolutional networks that increased learning speed and accuracy of the learned mo

There should be a ,,selfie related intimate acts with attractive people'' list as well to see how advantages and disadvantages of selfies balance out, but I think the advantage part wouldn't fit on a wiki page.
