My girlfriend and I have been using Instacart for quite some time now. Overall, the experience has been fantastic, mainly because of a bunch of free-delivery offers. While I really, really hope they stick around (especially with the additio

Reading the article, I pretty much had the exact same thoughts. It really seemed like the writer had a particular feel-good story in mind ("hippies still live in the Haight!") and went out there trying to find it. The error in the article i

How does the wording suggest that? All it implies is that an image identifier is maintained, and once viewed, it's marked as stale and never served again.

Doesn't follow because Adsense isn't "reasoning", it's optimizing an ill-defined objective function. Optimization isn't the same as reasoning.

Complex proxy?? You mean a headless browser like phantomjs and a slightly higher latency apparent to the client. Hardly difficult, which leads to the false sense of security these images provide. It's made slightly harder on the order of mi

It's a little funny that "Zen mode", absolute quietness on screen to focus the mind without any distractions at all, has a little, largely unnecessary widget on screen that you can keep clicking back and forth that lets you change the color

There is a lot of stuff going on at Facebook to deal with this sort of thing [1]. They definitely don't have a passive approach to bullying, but you have to realize that the scale of use makes it a difficult problem to approach. [1] https:

My hunch is that voice recognition and text-to-speech are the least of the concerns that Kurzweil will be dealing with. My guess is that his insights would be more applied to semantic reasoning using massive datasets (i.e., the Web), to b

That's discounting first-mover network effects before Facebook became as international as it is today (VKontakte in Russia) and the big case where Facebook is outright banned (China). For the rest, you have a point.

And those dot products come down to glorified FMUL and FADD machine instructions! Specious reductionism goes all the way down.

Great comment, thank you. I'd just like to add that the "frunk" isn't new -- I've been stashing my gym bag in my Porsche 911's frunk for years (it's a rear-engined car). Edit: While I absolutely live the Model S, I can assure you that excee
