It's reasonable to suspect that the party in charge of handling the audio wouldn't have considered that latency to the end user between the two streams would make their release not synchronous.

They may even have thought that a few seconds could still be called synchronous, unaware of the advantage this presented in this particular case.

>a very quick way to end up in the round archive

I love this phrase

>A bubble does not have to be bad if you are using it on purpose

What a vacuous statement

That was my first though :)

Can't imagine trying to pump my data into someone elses pipeline and crossing my fingers for results!

Your website looks awesome, I really like the clean design.

Have you considered a trial extending to their first outage notification, rather than 14 days?

I would imagine if they don't see an outage in 14 days they're not seeing the value.

However if their trial expired following their first 'site is down' reminder - that's where your value comes in.

Just my $2c

I think you're right - an essay should communicate a key thought, broken down in logical steps, coherently tied together. This is important for a whole host of skills.

I think a better way to describe it is ven diagrams:

conditional probability is just like, what proportion does A represent given B has already happened.

A might be small in the ven diagram box, but take up a larger area when constrained to only the part that B is in

not OP but

and what if the 50k figure never changes?

50k will conveniently be worth less over a few decades - the slippery slope is a built-in feature unless actively changed

pretty snarky to suggest facebook is the only way developing countries would utilise the internet. access to knowledge to better their lives, even turn them into astronomers perhaps

if you agreed to get ice-cream next year, then become lactose-intolerant, do you refuse to reconsider?

Google is maybe the only other company with the capability to collect the data necessary to solve self-driving. But they don't own the car production, they need to partner, and hence are at the whims of traditional automakers' margins and product designs.

Tesla is collecting sensor data from their entire fleet, probably mapped to when the user needs to override autopilot. A really elegant source of training data when you think about it.

thank god they picked both

I did not enjoy this read; drawing conclusions about humans from simple systems is most often as true as an exercise in astrology.

>I don't personally think humans explicitly look ahead very often. We give ourselves credit as the "thinking, planning animal", but we generally just make whichever choice corresponds to the highest expected valence in the current moment.

Really? Do you clean your teeth? work a job you hate? pay your taxes?

> They are doing well, because...

you just drew a big one

it's not equal exposure at all, it's equal opportunity for exposure.

i can post a comment on FB and get 0 likes, that doesn't give me equal exposure to the latest nike video on their page.

denying opportunity for exposure is giving that platform the ultimate authority on what shouldn't be able to be exposed in society, if society is reliant on that platform.

i don't want alex jones to have exposure, but i don't want an exec deciding what's next on the chopping block. a page suggesting publicly available employee salaries? they shouldn't have that power

if a country charges a man with sleeping with another man, one which carries a potential death sentence, and after bail he claims asylum in the west, would you consider his skipping bail a perversion of justice?

>you can't use an ROC curve, sensitivity, or specificity. You need to use precision and recall and make a PR curve

But sensitivity and recall are the same thing...

How did you find working in that environment compared to some other projects with clearer direction?

get traction is definitely not a silicon valley, or product specific phrase.

I think he wanted to know how on earth 'AI' will solve this. People will claim AI can solve anything...

>maybe even deep learning, we could make it a lot less of black magic

these two things are antithetical

we talking about averages here, not maximums

what restless pontification

a formal presentation in a 'women in physics' workshop, not a physics workshop. you're implying it was entirely out of context

(communism, Nazism, eugenics, manifest destiny, crusades)

None of these are tech products, so it's apples to oranges.

Additionally, just because most good things have come from military in the past doesn't mean that's the best way to produce good things, now or in general.

> What about all the nuclear waste that is already building up and has no where to go?

If only it could disappear into the atmosphere like coal waste does, right?

Storing the waste in solid form is a good thing

Yes, society at large should shut down businesses in the same sense that we jail individuals who act improperly

but 2033 is only 15 years away, not 20

who, America?

why?
