Aren’t many ports completely autonomous? https://youtu.be/zm_rlLyelQo

nyt is wingnut? https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/25/style/sperm-count.html

Can you detail some of the rock solid solutions in 2008 for the problems addressed? For example, building multiple C++ packages from source. Google's Bazel wasn't open sourced unti…

Why does no one get mad at the governments who have the large tax loop holes? Shouldn't it be "Ireland close your loopholes!"

I feel that many of these legal arguments have not caught up with modern technology. If we had had the capabilities we have today 100 years ago, I am sure the lawyers would have pu…

How is this any different than in-person conversations that are not recorded? Should companies be required to record all conversations that happen face to face?

I am thinking about the end application. All the more reason to ignore all of the benefits of a web solution and spin the highest performance version. Because performance is critic…

I have a serious question. Should this be a web visualization? Doesn't all the abstraction lead to performance hits? Tons of data needs to be pulled off the hard drive, network, RA…

Social science isn't broken. Math and physics are like what's p-hacking.

That's not how that works and there are whole websites for figuring out if the plumber is useful. Angie's List, Yelp, etc... Plus plumbers normally have to be licensed by the state…

"Vogt couldn’t change lanes because of California state law around autonomous vehicles" This statement is complete bullshit. The California DMV doesn't have any clear details defin…

Random comment: Could similar attacks be used to extract the private key for Bitcoin accounts?

Non-competes are illegal in California. And no other place matters right?

Tesla HQ is near Stanford, which has some Audi cars which have sensors on the roof.

I was encouraging you to write down your mathematical evidence of better performing algorithms, because I know from my experience that when I try to write down proofs, my assumptio…

Ok, you are making a point about sampling. In periods of high traffic you have more samples that will bias the calculation. But, since the number of samples will be consistent betw…

First, I was using Student t-test as a stand-in for whatever test or statistical measure you would like to use. I believe the popular one is Hoeffding's inequality in the bandit li…

Also, I agree that MAB algorithms do not consider the case of adding bandit "arms" during the trial. A dynamic number of bandit arms problem may not be well studied, but is very in…

I don't know how we got onto arrival rates of our visitors. I would just like to state that Simpson's paradox is exactly why we shouldn't compare percent conversions. They are mean…

Wait. I am slightly confused and this may demonstrate my ignorance, but I was under the impression that A/B testing worked by allocating two different approach to the users and the…

I think the real distinction here is stationary verses non-stationary distributions. Many of the arguments made in this article hinge on the fact that the responses to the same inp…

Does anyone know if the table of contents is somewhere online?
