I couldn’t disagree more. (1) Learning Java before you learn a procedural language, to me, makes no sense, and turns a programmer’s formative foundation of programming into an object-only one. (2) The difficulty in…
Dude wtf, we need this data to help treat patients and save lives.
I couldn’t agree more - I’ve made most progress in MOOCs whenever there is a set of relatively small but valuable, achievable goals. And I’m pretty sure the MOOCs I ran out of time for required big chunks of work.
I am highly skeptical of the research that shows low attendance causes poor grades. I attended 2/24 lectures for one subject, and I got the highest grade for the year, out of both semesters. And I have friends who don’t…
I don’t understand people on here complaining about the Senate demanding that the leaders of a business answer for its actions. Sending your lawyer or an underling is (1) a show of disrespect, (2) it shows you’re not…
Not showing up here was the opposite of keeping a low profile though.
Completely disagree. I don’t know how you could say that. Business leaders have to answer for their companies actions, and senate hearings is one way we have of them doing that. And as wybiral said, it was a Senate…
Great article! Loved it. Not sure if the author is posting this, but if you are, one small thing - it’s burying the ‘lede’, not ‘lead’. Thought you’d want to know :)
You just want to change the law to benefit Facebook. Seems odd. Your other comments state that you value the ideal entirely over the practical, with the practical having no value to you at all. Fortunately, the…
The problem is total exclusion, not targeting for sub-groups by campaign. If they wanted to target sub-groups by campaign, they could offer a service to advertise differently to different subgroups. But that’s not at…
The issue is not focusing on demographics, it’s excluding demographics. The law states you cannot exclude certain demographics. Facebook is allowing that. Nothing is preventing an atheist from reading a Christian…
I think they mean they found, in the bone marrow, an abundance of the missing T-cells (missing from the brain?)
It’s called dysgraphia, brother. Join the club!
Your comment reeks of hubris, hatred for Americans, and self-delusion. You question the value of ridding the world of bad-actors. Why? Why would this be a bad thing, if one company ensures it cannot accidentally allow…
You’re just arguing from Kant’s authority here. In my view (and in the views of many others, including many renowned philosophers and many important legal systems) Kant’s views are deeply flawed (anyone can argue from…
I don’t think throwing more computational power at the problem is the right answer to all ML problems.
While I appreciate the sentiment, I thi k the fact that we can learn from fewer examples demonstrates that the learning process isn’t as efficient as ours, therefore it isn’t yet optimal. It seems like a goal should be…
People were defending Theranos on HN... surely must have been an investor or an insider. Surely no one else would be so daft.
Spark is notoriously bad for privacy. This is a really poor recommendation given the article.
Someone had a bad time in New York
Forced membership of a union!? Seriously!? How awful. I’d rather quit than have it forced on me. If I was at the New Yorker I’d almost certainly join, but only if I could do so willingly. Ugh.
Totals are interesting. It tells you about things like the US’s power in international trade, reminds is how big the US market is, why people focus on it, etc. It doesn’t mean GDP per capita isn’t interesting either,…
I disagree. You can realise your ignorance without having to immediately correct every instance of it. And you can enjoy the slow uncovering of new information and points of view, building each into your worldview bit…
The article could easily make the false presumption that wi-fi isn’t used to transmit the data. You seem awfully keen to dismiss this.
US numbers only :(
