They don't? AFAIK explanation of one of the factors is not even that complicated: lower physical strength (on average) => more focus on social skills (on average) => higher agreeab…

I like your scare quotes around "innate" biology :-) What an outdated concept, innateness, right? Please don't confuse your personal ignorance with a lack of publicly available res…

Java's analogy of Python's "py3k dual-compatibility" disaster. Only not as severe or fundamental.

Huh? Seems to be a regular PhD student?

This will end in tragedy for consumers (and profit in the right pockets), as do all attempts by governments to regulate. "Introduced by socialists, green and left blocs" -- an imme…

Rubbish, of course. But you're right in that it's becoming popular. Hiding a complex process behind a single number is oh so enticing. I've seen people submit a series of single-le…

I say, make hay while the sun shines, and make money while businesses throw them at vague hyped keywords. Such is the nature of primates: it's about social proofs and herd mentalit…

My friend, remember the Government Koan and persist. You have a long way ahead of you: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.

These sound like all CONS to me. Except the last one, which is just plain disgusting.

Lovely! Creating something like this was my initial reaction after seeing 2048, too :-) An ideal mini-project and good PR for an entry level AI dev. Or, indeed, for a post-exit AI …

The plural is "corpora".

Sorry, don't understand your last sentence. It seems to contradict the paragraph before -- ML as a service seems a terrible idea for the reasons you just listed (among others). Wha…

When did Bridget Jones start investing in tech?

Didn't work on me. I didn't understand what the "visual effect" is supposed to be until I read the description. I still see animated 2D GIFs with bars over them (=no real differenc…

I got HN upvote nr. 1337! That means my petition signature will hold a special weight.

Pardon me prying, but what exactly is your experience? I'm only asking because I've seen "in my experience" sermons delivered by fresh-out-of-college kids one too many times, and h…

People who never tried, imagine creating a new product (not to say a "disruptive" product) is a simple A-B-C process: * talk to potential customers * do it! * PROFIT Whereas unless…

Only a question of time before the Machine Learning wave arrived at the arguably least suited--but certainly the most popular--platform! There's money to be made with this combinat…

Gentlemen, gentlemen. ElasticSearch sits on top of MASSIVE investment money (closed series B). Your worries about developers needing a "second job" are not substantiated. This is n…

"Her" may captivate non-techies and romantic liberal arts majors. But "HUMAN AI AROUND THE CORNER!" must leave anyone who knows anything about AI smiling benevolently. The guy in t…

Why do you assume working on his project doesn't bring him happiness? Also, though I'm sure you are well-meaning, advising strangers how they ought to live their life makes you sou…

OP basically says people in Europe look at you weird for starting a business. Failing the business afterward is a social tragedy. It's about social/peer pressure. Having lived in m…

"Terrible at geography" is not binary state; it may well be true that Americans (on average) are worse than most others, while having absolutely brilliant scholars. High standard d…
