gkolli··on Natural Language Processing Best Practices and Examples

Yes! Used spaCy for a hackathon and it was a delight to work with.

gkolli··on How to fight back against Google AMP as a web user and a web developer

Sorry for the dumb question, but:

What does Google gain with AMP? How does it make money with it?

gkolli··on The largest acquisitions by Big Tech companies

Surprising, based on how large Apple is, its acquisitions aren't as large as other tech companies. Thoughts?

gkolli··on Writing Is Thinking: Learning to Write with Confidence

Thank you for writing this; felt like a breath of fresh air.

gkolli··on Teen E-Cigarette Use Doubles Since 2017

This makes sense, unfortunately. The e-cigarette industry is $1B+ and much of their base from teens, they can claim to be innocent by not marketing to them. However, with flavors like bubble gum and cotton candy, it is easy to see why teens are attracted to e-cigarettes.

gkolli··on Teen E-Cigarette Use Doubles Since 2017

As a late-teen, I see many ads from the FDA against e-cigarettes, but I'm not sure how effective they are. However, these are not on TV but on Facebook.

gkolli··on AirSim: open-source simulator for autonomous vehicles

Any companies working on this?

gkolli··on Ask HN: Read any good books lately?

The Peregrine - the way the author describes nature and the beauty and focus of everyday life is awe-inspiring.

gkolli··on Gas Plants Will Get Crushed by Wind, Solar by 2035: Study

What are the steps into getting there? What are the biggest roadblocks - scientific or political?

gkolli··on Bring Back the SE

I apologize if this is a naive question, but why doesn't Apple continue to sell the SE if it was popular and there is a continued market for it?

gkolli··on Show HN: The Whole Code Catalog

This is really neat! How can I contribute to it? Would definetly love to add some concepts to it.

gkolli··on Mayo Clinic to partner with Google

Hopefully, we get specific information about what Google Cloud will be doing with Mayo Clinic to better patient outcomes - the article is filled with handwaving.

gkolli··on From Python to Silicon – Design Hardware with Python

This looks really neat! I'm interested in hardware design but don't know where to start - any pointers/resources?

gkolli··on Gas Plants Will Get Crushed by Wind, Solar by 2035: Study

Thank you for these future-forward words. I am definetly looking forward to this time as well.

great comment and analogy

gkolli··on After Your First Big Startup Success, What’s Next? (2014)

reading this comment made me very happy. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors, professor!

gkolli··on How the Kleiner Perkins Empire Fell

Very interesting take on KP. Anyone from the inside (recent startup founders, ex-employees, etc.) want to chime in? Would love to hear.

gkolli··on Andy Grove's Paranoia: Universal Lessons (1996)

Pairs very well with Grove's dictum of Objectives and Key Statements (OKRs). These and Grove's management philosophy are captured very well in John Doerr's book 'Measure what Matters'
