No. I work as an advisor for a ton of startups and I a co-founder myself. There is no better place in Europe to be than the UK.

> That is interesting in the context of trade and cultural links, but is in itself exceptionally uncontroversial.

Exactly. It is more than likely that something like this is the result of trade. However, the way the narrative is built around "findings" like these by professors in the departments of said universities is something completely different.

This to me is essentially eternal political debate between the collective vs. the individual. Do we "put down" the individual in order to promote the well-being of the collective (read tyrannical majority rule) or do we value the rights of the individual regardless of they impact the collective? I am personally on the side of the latter.

Secession is by definition a break out from the collective. So considering what the collective wants seems to me like asking the majority to vote for their tyrannical interest (very biased way of doing things).

so can you therefor your opinion is invalid... Examine what is said on its own merit not according to who said it or why.

so you are comparing a country to a union of countries to demonstrate that one country is not equal to 28... Here is the funny thing: depending on how you look at it, the US is still bigger than all those 28 combined. So no it's not a myth, it's just you conflating two different things!

I remember when I was 15 and asked that same question on hellboundhackers :D #nostalgia!

Jokes aside, go with Python. It was my first language and to this day I can't think of a better language for people to start out with!

Good luck to ya!

> Descriptive science

The whole point of science is for it to be predictive though. Calling "descriptive science" (whatever that is) a science is sort of... wrong!

> That expression is a cynical look at the relationship of the individual to the State: so long as my belly is full and I am entertained I'm all right Jack.

Wow. You just describe Sweden O.o I'm mighty impressed how this saying fits perfectly into the context of the modern Swedish culture!

Aside from a selected few, I am not very impressed with said "offering" :/ It feels as if it is all a bunch of recycled stuff. But I guess that's just the cynic in me talking!

Watch Rick and Morty's S3 E3.

thanks for the links!

Couldn't we just come up with some convention for "expanded filenames" where the meta-data is included in the file name itself? In the UI portion, you see what you see now, no difference, but say anything after the // delimiter in the file name is considered meta data and not shown in the windows/terminal UI.

Not sure if it's a good solution but if I were to put the meta data somewhere I would somehow try to put it in the identifier of the file (the name) as it is data that would help me identify the file AND it's content!

Goes to show that even the even the so called "experts" are humans after all.

MEH. I am not impressed. Restricting the number of parameters and variables in order to produce a bot that can do 1 sub-set of tasks really well is nothing special imo.

Complexity and simulations of what you have not yet encountered is something humans can do with ease. This is not something a bot can do in a complex environment like DOTA.

I'll be the first to admit that I was wrong and that AI is truly a thing once I see a bot like this one beat a pro-team in a 5v5. Until then, meh...

Extreme beliefs manifest themselves in extreme behavior.

If you so blindly believe in the diversity of skin color or gender while neglecting the diversity of ideas, I am rather sure that says a whole lot about you as a person and as a company. That, in my opinion, is the only PR they deserve.

A pussy grabber won over Hilary Clinton. You don't have to be a Google employee with PhD to see how bad of a candidate she was.

You see... two people can play that game. If anything, a pro-trump person could have used that same sentence of yours to demonstrate the opposite sentiment. Don't attribute biases to situations that are nothing other than complete and utter incompetence.

His contribution to linguistics is definitely great and no one can take that from him. But to call him a great modern-day thinker is a bit of a stretch.

I CALL SEXISM!!!!!!

But then again, I like it so what does that make me? O.o

> we are living in a capitalism world

Far from it. Far far far faaaaaaaaaar from it!

That all came about because Java/Swing sucks!

"This is why"

ooh the irony...

That's not the reason democracy is broken. Democracy was broken since the time of the ancient Greeks. That's what Socrates set out to prove with his trail. Democracy is not a good system, the sooner you come to that conclusion the better it is!

That's not even remotely a fair comparison.

I had a teacher that changed me for the better, unfortunately I never got the chance to thank him as he passed away unexpectedly :/

If I were you I would send an email right away. You never know what happens.

Here is an engineer outputting X amount of work for a given work day which is equivalent to his co-worker only that he does it in less time. If you then require that person to work more than X in order to fill his hours, he will be incentivised to work less as he will find it to be unfair that he has to do more than his colleges. Thus, putting down time on his own projects should not be seen as a negative thing. Mainly because he is actually improving his skillset which in return benefits the company he is working for.

This however presume that he is in fact producing as much as his colleges in less time. The only two options I see is to let it continue as it is nothing wrong or cut him some deal where he can work less hours OR grant him a raise and ask him to do more for more pay.

It all comes down to expectations. If that employee meets your expectations then there is no reason to fire someone who is doing well just because he is better and more efficient than everyone else!

in my book, people like you are very dangerous. I fear people of your ideals far more than I fear terrorism or anything of that sort.

Let that sink in for a while!

One problem that you will run into is that X (the phrase in the comment) might be a permutation of a book title. Or perhaps even a title of a book being mentioned in a comment where the author did not intend on it being interpreted as such. This is mostly due to ambiguity & information density in language as well as how we assign names/titles to things.

Ex. If I write a comment saying "The number of our clients went from zero to one instantly", in this sentence, "Zero to One" will match Peter Theil's book.

If you are willing to put up with such "noise" in the output, then you don't need to train a thing or even use ML. Just chunk the given piece of text and look up all the tokens permutations of given length (from 1 up to N) in your SQL Entities Database.

You can generally find this kind of Entities Databases by aggregating a lot of datasets from all over the web or even use something like google books datasets: https://books.google.co.uk/

https://storage.googleapis.com/books/ngrams/books/datasetsv2... - This is an ngram set but there should be one with only book titles somewhere. Can't find it atm but you can search for it yourself!

You could even (if you are brave enough) try to use wikipedia's dumps to mine book titles from articles

I didn't even allude to who is worthy. What I said was in fact the same thing as you are saying. I am in no position to say who is worthy and NEITHER ARE YOU!

It is up to the board and shareholders to decide what level of compensation they are willing to put up with. But talking about redistribution of CEO income leads to substantial raise in living standards is MOST OFTEN purely fictional!

The argument that it is substantial once you account for employer and employee taxes is purely fictional. Remember that we are talking about a yearly salary so in terms of net income per household, it does not add much. The idea that redistribution of CEO pay will lead to SUBSTANTIAL (keyword here) improvements in the lives of employees is NOT ALWAYS true. Sometimes it is, and this is not one of those times.

> What happens if the money is distributed according to effort and productivity?

It is. Just not according to what YOU think is just or fair. And here is the kicker, what you think is fair is not in-line with what the board and shareholders think is fair. Do you think any employee @ yahoo has created more value than Marissa? if so who? She clearly didn't steal that money but instead created the opportunities under which such a deal was constructed that allowed her to capture that sum.

From the outside, it is rather easy for you to make some fictional judgement. But it is important to understand that her pay, just like all other employees, is a function of how much value she can capture of the total productivity/profits she bring in.

> lives of so many people would be significantly improved.

That's ~10k per employee after all the lay offs this year. Last year, it would have made ~8k per employee and even less the year before (only counting full-time workers which inflates these numbers). And it would be even less if you take into account employer taxes for all salary raises.

I personally don't understand this "redistribute CEO income across all employees" mentality because in reality there are very rare occasions where distributing the income leads to any substantial raise in the living standards of the employees. I do believe that she should have done that as a leader, but in terms of what is just/fair/etc, I find the redistribution of CEO income argument to be rather fallacious in most cases!

Note: I am not saying that there are no cases where your argument stands to reason but this is not one of them.

Edit: There is a post at the front page now about how 6 fig salaries are low income in SV. Adding a few thousands to that does not improve lives as much as you might think!

Very few people work on AI. ML is not the same as AI. I am yet to see a computer do a single intelligent thing. I am actually rather bothered by this marketing ploy among CS professionals.

To answer your question though, I feel like (and this is a speculation on my part) that most ML researchers have specialization in 1 field yet the vast majority of problems require some sort of deep understanding of multiple fields at once.
