Wiki says "Skype was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström, from Sweden, and Janus Friis, from Denmark.[26] The Skype software was created by Estonians Ahti Heinla, Priit Kasesalu, and Jaan Tallinn. The first public beta version was released on 29 August 2003."

Yeah, that's exactly the case. And filtering is quite useless in London for example, where all the reasonable options are in a single bracket.

Have never used the listing view, thanks for the heads up.

On the map sorting by price is not possible, right? Or does my map view look different from yours? https://imgur.com/avyt3nr

Not directly related, but still a nudge thing: it is impossible to sort the offerings by price (eg ascending) on booking.com . Am I the only user finding this extremely uncomfortable?

A much more nuanced story can be told about Germany, see eg https://www.economist.com/europe/2019/10/31/germans-still-do... .

When it comes to the Tesla factory, it will be right outside Berlin https://www.dw.com/en/tesla-factory-outside-berlin-to-cost-4... .

Looks like a perfect task for a set of Deep Learning CNN models :)

I would call those "scaling issues". Let's see if deep learning advances along the lines of gpt2 can start solving them. I think that we will know the answer in 5 years.

You might want to look into "phase velocity" and "group velocity", for example on wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_velocity#Relation_to_gro... .

That's right! It would be interesting to see how torrented series statistics correlate with online streaming prices. My feeling is that as Netflix-like services become more expensive and/or fragmented, piracy picks up. Don't have any numbers to back this up with though.

I liked some commentary in a similar direction https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/484675/does-the-...

I guess "Mechanistic understanding" was meant to contrast against machine learning, not quantum mechanics. To elaborate, machine learning means fitting of a bunch of data by a given model. In science (eg lattice QCD) one often tries to theoretically (or computationally) explore regimes where data is not yet available. As a (former?) theoretical physicist, I am more than happy to admit that this is not immediately useful, though it will hopefully become useful in the long run.

The difference in the experiences of you two might be due to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CYP1A2 aka "the caffeine gene".

Is there a way to know if "Spy the Lie: Former CIA Officers Teach You How to Detect Deception" is based on solid scientific evidence?

I would say that putting climate change and flat Earth into the same category is not totally fair. While the geometry of the Earth has been pretty clear for millennia and the local CO2 level can be accurately measured, many more subtle questions on climate change still don't have clear cut answers.

What about availability of this outside the US?

Thanks, did know about that! https://relays.syncthing.net and https://docs.syncthing.net/users/relaying.html .

Though very useful, syncthing unfortunately uses direct communication which leads to problems with port forwarding.

I am surprised that Google Photos does not have a "find similar images" feature. Even a basic one such as this k-means stuff would be useful to me.

There is a bunch of ML/EEG devices on the market, it is a commodity technology by now, just google "fda machine learning eeg".

This mission is also very cool in the sense that the period from launch to first interesting data is short. There is going to be a Venus flyby on 28 Sep, and a Sun flyby on 1 Nov.

Not directly on topic, but I am disappointed that window cleaning has not been automated yet. Window cleaning robots do exist, but they have a long way to go to become as good as automatic vacuum cleaners.

No, only part of the interview. At some point she forgets she has to do it. And then when asked what one has to do to become successful, she remembers it again.

Does https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIXAmjUFSso not count as conclusive evidence on this matter?

How about career orientation? Is there a comparably good resource for people who don't know what they would like to do?

Yahoo agrees, Elisabeth faces 20 years in jail https://finance.yahoo.com/news/theranos-founder-elizabeth-ho...

"There are far more men with two years of Uber experience than there are women."

Which might mean that women move on to better paid jobs faster than men, right?

Hackers?

All the science is more or less open and more or less easily googlable. For Mercury orbital precession, try wiki (Tests_of_general_relativity) or go directly to https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.19.... (behind a paywall) .

It is not the expectation of jail time, but certainty of a punishment is what matters. See https://www.economist.com/blogs/freeexchange/2016/03/crimina... and references therein for actual research.

Not sure how up to date, but there are some results in that direction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics_beyond_the_Standard_Mo... .
