    I heard about stockbuzznow on this platform. I signed up to see what it was about. After about a year of not using their service I reached out to them to have my account cancelled.…

    My feeling is that this whole silliness will backfire spectacularly! Huawei will develop their own OS. It's hard but not impossible. Who cares if there's buy-in from the entire dev…

    I can understand why the US wouldn't want them to build out the 5G network in the US, but it's kinda overstepping to push other countries to deny them that access. That's for other…

    "out of sight out of mind" is reason enough to have one. people may serendipitously walk into a bookstore and change their lives; doesn't work the same when commuting.

    This is great. At the same time, WTF...it took this long to bring a bookstore to the BX?? Living in Harlem in the mid 2000's I always wondered why there were no B&N around. What's …

    Sounds really interesting, but it seems like this is all due to the graph extraction algorithm needing to use static analysis. Is this such an important requirement that it require…

    The idea that linear models are linear in the parameters and not the data is a bit confusing. I know the effect of this is that you fit curves with "linear" models, but I don't fee…

    This is so true...I believe this wholeheartedly, had to find my long-last hn login to upvote this. I've read a lot of stories where people start a diet such as one meal a day, or a…

    Seems like you're jumping to conclusions here. Let's wait to see what exactly happened. I highly doubt that any of these companies just use "straight" ML. For complex applications,…

    It's back to android for me; it's great to have a choice here, those pixel 2 xl are looking a whole lot nicer all of a sudden.

    Headlines like these give me confidence that it will keep going. It may crash, however, most people would be caught off-guard...these things aren't telegraphed, plus, what's the mo…

    "IT is, by nature, a meritocracy" <- Nice JOKE. I've worked at a number of big IT firms in NYC and they all throw around the meritocracy myth. But the reality of the situation is t…

    "...for some reason:" - they shouldn't be allowed to destroy such an important monument to satisfy their curiosity.

    I probably could have put that better, so here goes: shitty code can be a challenge to refactor regardless of language

    Comment #15458922

    Can you be specific on what makes this a headache? Your "refactoring" tells me that the code probably wasn't well structured in the first place and if so this would make refactorin…

    Use ML. Gather a bunch of tweets and learn a model that classifies tweets (job listing / not job listing). Then use the model as a filter. You can use it in concert with your curre…

    Agreed. Call it what it is. Your first thoughts are worth examining, a lot of times they're right.

    What's the rationale behind offering the 13" pro the option of not getting the touch bar, but not offering that option on the 15"? I want to buy a 15" but I do not want that silly …
