That sentence confused me, too, but it's clarified in the next paragraph: > Children who grow up with high economic connectedness earn 20 percent more as adults on average than otherwise similar children who do not, a…
No, they've been doing "managing stacks of dependent pull requests" for a lot longer than AI code review. I've mostly been a happy user, they simplify a lot of the git pain of continually rebasing and the UI makes…
Bandwidth is the limiting factor in a lot of circumstances, and networks are very challenging to manage. Especially with an increasing number of users on mobile connections, reducing network usage can be the right call.…
Video encoding and decoding is expensive! Especially as cameras improve and users' expectations of quality increase.
On the other hand, tls/443 is pretty undesirable for media delivery in videoconferencing because a) it's tcp-based and the required ACKs mean a big reduction in throughput and increase in latency, especially in the…
I read the article as saying you can't solve everything yourself. That's different than saying you should ignore problems. Instead you need to communicate when you see a problem that you're not positioned to solve,…
That's way more computationally expensive and only available if the camera is on (and the user's mouth is visible).
Can you cite some sources for your responses to 1 and 4? Re: 5, there's clearly a distinction between typical mutations, which have no particular effect on the virus' behavior but do allow us to trace infections, and…

Netflix pays exceptionally well and is very selective, and I understand they are quicker to fire underperformers than most. So it is fairly prestigious and ranks at the top in compensation.
Absolutely, if you have the budget to build, maintain, and support a custom ERP, it may be the way to go. But I think it's a tiny fraction of businesses where the benefits of that outweigh the extra costs involved. You…
Excellent point. A fear we see a lot in clients is that if the system's not built from scratch with them in mind, it can't do what they need. But the TCO of a system you build yourself is usually way higher than…
Working on an ERP startup^, this was a very interesting read for me. Our situation is a little different, because our goal is a customizable platform rather than a single instance built for a single company. Some points…
It's easier to expand than contract. When the same decision is faced multiple times, it will be made multiple ways, and it's very difficult to remove one of those options once it's in use. On the other hand, if you…
In the Huffington Post article, you wrote: "Years of working with NGOs and government aid programs were convincing me that handouts are a dead end, temporarily soothing the acuteness of the injustice but taking donor…
This is very similar to the 14-sensor emotiv headset (emotiv.com), which is a little pricier, but closer to a full EEG in scope. One thing I'm not sure of--are the behind-the-ear sensors in the Muse intended to be…
Just put more of your point in your original post, and people will realize that you actually have a point. They'll be less likely jump to conclusions about your intelligence. >.> For example, "Are you a…
You can do it pretty easily by successive halving. 10%, just move the decimal over add 5% which is just half of 10% add 2.5%, which is half of 5% and add 1%, moving the decimal over twice ...of course you either…
Carnegie Mellon's intro CS course has been in python for a couple of years, and we're switching to ruby for the coming year. Of course, that's followed by (Our own version of! =/ ) C, and then SML. Question for those…
Violent agreement. You and GP seem to be saying exactly the same thing -- because the original still exists, there is no subtraction of property, and it is not stealing.
So you chose a name that was actually a word in another language (tl;dr: pinkeln = peeing in german), and it was embarrassing when you found out. But then you say, "Did it hurt us in the end? I don’t think so." And this…
But despite that it's a joke deck, it fits with everything I've seen about them so far.
I think from Color's perspective, that's the idea -- only figuring that "adding" implies an acquisition. Actually, I guess it would depend on whether market validation is worth $10m -- which I doubt, because it's just a…
Same problem, but I cheated my way past -- hints at the irc channel (including a link to solutions to every problem, but I was on the last one by then ;)
