i would focus on just taking notes on related topics, without much structure for a bit. try to link them together if they are on related ideas a bit. once you have a network of not…

My sister is studying computer science in Brazil and she's looking for internships. She's interested in big data and AI, but open to software engineering internships in general. Mo…

+1 to this point. I also find it easier to read certain philosophers than others because they themselves seem to be empathetic in the way they write their thinking. Almost as if th…

Hey everyone! Thread author here. Happy to see so many people taking an interest in beautiful scientific communication! If anyone has other examples of beautiful typography or grap…

Yeah. Even some really simple nearest neighbors + blending works way better than any examples in this article http://graphics.cs.cmu.edu/projects/scene-completion/scene-c...

I wrote it in c as a first project in intro CS in college: https://github.com/iRapha/2048linux

I don't actually remember. I used to set all my settings to US/American ones because some apps were only in the US app store, so there's a good chance I was looking at the US$1 pri…

The power of mass usage comes into play here. IIRC, when WhatsApp launched, I was one of the early adopters. As it grew (and it became hugely popular in Brazil, where I lived) they…

I received an email from a website I don't remember signing up for, and have no clue what they do. After a few attempts I am able to log in. I go through menu after menu looking fo…

I was actually wondering what the data considers "immigration". This shows no African countries light up until around the 90s but that's somewhat incorrectly categorizing influx of…

They are also smart enough to know that their opinions matter within the company, and they can affect positive change. This open letter is one mechanism for doing that.

I believe that the way Government contracts work does not allow non-citizens (perhaps non-residents?) to work on them. (at least directly)

> I’m not talking about being stuck in traffic, which is often a issue with poor planning and lack of infrastructure investment rather than an issue with cars themselves I disagree…

Space debris is a huge problem. One car gets hit bit tiny debris at any point, and the number of debris flying around multiplies.

This is going a little over my head. Can anyone with more expertise help summarize / ELI5?

The US produces a lot of corn, so it is cheap. And corn syrup is a sugar-substitute, so including it in everything makes things taste more addictive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…

And, perhaps more importantly, nuclear energy in the coast, which Brazil is already investing heavily in. IIRC, our third nuclear facility is set to open in 2018.

> there is pushing a country into forbidding every kind of energy generation available which is not what is happening in Brazil. There are enormous opportunities for energy generat…

Does this mean that I can be asked, at the border, for my social media information? What happens if I refuse to provide or lie about having it?

They're probably referring to outdoors, posters, physical ads, physically located in SF.

There's a lot of things to do in TensorFlow that involve a lot of work (and could even be its own project). Namely support for dynamic computation graphs (a-lá PyTorch). TF as it i…
