Are companies not allowed to sell their products and services? Sorry this doesn't sit well with your ideal world.

I would argue those with access to clean water and shelter from the rain, including the homeless in San Francisco, are rich. Everyone here on HN needs to check their privilege.

The solution is that not everyone needs to go to college. Just look at the thread here. You have unqualified restaurant waiters wanting to get an engineering job at Google and thin…

I'll gladly make that trade for the security of 315 million living in the United States. Note how I'm leaving out Europe because at the moment, it doesn't seem safe. Stop getting u…

Or just replace them with robots? That is what's happening across various industries today. Nurses will be replaced soon too (in the next 10 years). No union can stop that. Not eve…

Like machine learning. Too many on HN are trying to get into it but will be outgunned by the Stanford PhDs et al.

$25K USD is an egregiously large sum of money. I'd argue only $5K is necessary. If I were you, I'd move to somewhere like the Philippines and live like a king with $5K/year.

ImageNet came from the United States. You know, the dataset which AlexNet succeed with? Oh right, there's MNIST too. That's from the LeCunn at NYU, also USA. What about the GPUs? W…

To counter your single data point, I do not know of a single person, personally, who sold a company for any amount of money. And I live in Sunnyvale.

I said I wanted to avoid terrorist attacks, not be near them.

Yep. Quite simply, the 0.1% of the US population here on HN does not care about privacy nor protesting nor writing to their local or state government. HN needs to stop living in a …

You forgot the AWS Internet egress charge per GB..

K80s and K40s have a K. That's two generations old. We are currently on P and about to be V. If you think K80s are good, you are far far behind the times in machine learning. A sin…

Lol

Do you know how few people on HN even own any cryptocurrency? It's likely close to 1-2%. It's been like that for the past 5 years.

Still too expensive. Instead of biasing your user studies with big companies that already use your product, you should listen to the greater population of potential users. But hey,…

> store them securely in a password manager and use different passwords for each account​ You are about the 2% of the tech crowd (i.e, bay area software/data people). The vast majo…

Taxpayers spend millions saving drug users in hospitals for their stupid decisions.

Here's another data point. I've never been to one of their shows. I don't plan on it. I'll go if I have time. Elephants or no elephants does not contribute to my decision.

For those wondering, it costs 4-5 USD one way.

Do you still take an Uber to the airport?

What is Hashcat and why should we care?

> Unless I really have to now, I'm avoiding Uber and driving myself to the airport. Uber has proven they don't care about passenger safety, and only care about profits. You do that…

Delays don't seem to be part of the process at Slack, Google, or any of your top tier software companies. Tesla? Delay after delay. Want to cite auto industry, I can point more suc…

Data science is absolutely based on degree level. Software engineering, maybe 50% of people care about your degree.
