The problem I find with most philanthropic efforts, most namely charities, is that it's a black box with little measure of accountability. You don't know how exactly the money is spent, and how effective it was. If…
DynamoDB?
The problem with understanding trends is that people naturally tend to think that the past predicts the future. What they forget is that what goes up, usually goes down. This is true in the vast majority of cases except…
They'll run out of liquidity long before driverless cars go mainstream. There are huge legal and logistical hurdles to face.
"extremely smart people" also caused the 2007 mortgage crisis, and 2000 tech bubble
Did Uber really win yet? They haven't exited yet. Their valuation is insanely high and they are not looking to IPO, as they won't get a favorable price in todays markets. They are spending billions in China where they…
I suspect the same will happen to all the p2p lending startups soon
I wonder if Lee Sedol were to start as white again, and follow the exact same starting sequences, would AlphaGo's algorithms follow the exact same moves as it did before?
Product vs Service. Huge difference.
no it's because they don't make enough revenue
It all sounds like hysteria to me. We're not even close to this level of AI.
You kind of have to. The vast majority of them are obviously fake. If you look at the wording / grammar there is a lot of similarity (uses of the word "Great", etc)
though not yet proven, I believe we may have found the Enron of our decade
Security aside, I would argue that 98 and XP were the best versions of Windows during that period
Is there a way to start a name consultancy? I'm fairly good at coming up with names, and wouldn't mind offering my services, but I'm not sure how to secure my idea before selling it. I would also be open to testing my…
I agree. It seemed more like an angel round deck. A startup asking for $10M series A should already product validation, meaningful traction, and starting their growth phase. This had none of that. The only thing they…
not surprised. the pitch deck didn't seem very convincing tbh
It seems they used to have more employees and 2 other co-founders. Wonder what happened
Don't worry about it. He's trying to motivate his employees by showing his dedication. If he wants to work in the middle of the night, let him do so. It's normal for startup founders to work late or wake up in the…
So they give you a couple grand. What other value do they provide? Seems like a bad deal for people who actually have good ideas and can execute.
libraries are fine of course. in higher profile and more competitive hackathons, i've seen quite a few teams who complete the whole project (or re-use the same project from another hackathon).
I've done a lot of hackathons, and even the most high profile ones usually suffer from one of the following: 1. Internet and Working space If you're expecting a high turn-out. Make sure the facility has a comfortable…
I didn't go to Waterloo, but I predominantly hire from them, and I work with their graduates on a daily basis. Yes. They get the best work experience. They will have no problems finding a secure job in engineering. A…
there's a fair amount of nudity/sex in game of thrones and it's very mainstream
it's perceived as a small raise because we're in a bubble
