    That was my favorite chapter in Programming Pearls.

    It's an old book but I really enjoyed Liar's Poker (1989) by Michael Lewis.

    Misoprostol is also a cervical ripening agent comparable to cervidil.

    Makes sense. As mentioned in the comments, there are different ways of inducing labor. I was referring to usage of pitocin or similar too early in the process, instead of gradually…

    Sorry for not being clear, I was specifically talking about pitocin level induction.

    I wonder what its correlation with induction is. Artificially inducing labor does not tend to give the body enough time to adjust and progress.

    I wonder what the procedure to locate the leak was.

    I was hoping to get a more in-depth analysis of the 2-sided network effects of the scooter space. I'm having a hard time understanding the defensibility of these companies against …

    You could jointly train a NN to parse the sentence and tackle the NLP task you have at the same time, or instead of just using the tokens you could use a parser to add more feature…

    Uber and Lyft are different than scooter services because they leverage the network affects by the availability of drivers and wait times. Scooters could race to cover more distric…

    I seriously don't understand how one scooter company could differentiate itself from others significantly from business perspective.

    I think the main difference between the two is, IAP aims to replace VPN requirements for Enterprises. It only integrates with Google accounts and it seems to go hand in hand with G…

    You might also want to take a look at https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/issues/557#issueco...

    I don't know much about the complexities of this task so excuse my question if it's too obvious. How is it different/better than using puppeteer? If it's better, maybe SxS comparis…

    Google Duplex was a cool demo but those intents were quite well defined. There is a handful of form slots they are aiming to fill where they can enumerate all the entry points to a…

    I wonder what they mean by Google experts. Will there be an actual human being or some hybrid solution at the end of the line? Not that it matters to me as long as it's efficient.

    Good job! Is there a way to engage with other students after the class? Would be nice to ask follow up questions.

    I think this is the best tracker I've seen. Congratulations on the launch! Will the tax manager be the main part of your business or are you planning to monetize on different set o…

    Yup, as solotronics said. On Chrome extensions, minor bugs (or minor bugs in the libraries you depend on) might end up having far worse consequences. Read/write access to only link…

    Looks great. I love the styling. As a general feedback: I'm a bit cautious about using third party Chrome extensions. I'm more OK with giving auth to my LinkedIn account. Maybe a s…

    C++ is definitely in top 3, along with Java.

    Yea, database migration is my first guess as well. Any code change would have been reverted quickly otherwise. Their blog post about the incident is not clear enough. https://blog.…
