how do you feel about still having to use outlook because of concerns about a competitor that's not even doing social anymore? I've read FB SWEs be aghast about people uploading wh…

really, Picasa led to Google Photos as the previous photo product the company had ..

some of that team helped build the Google Photos app, but Google Photos was a product in its own right even before Bump joined the company and they were part of a (much) larger eff…

The research fix may have been to train their data better but the blacklist of bad terms was as real of a product fix as it gets.

Well, to be fair they excluded high tens / low hundreds of potentially offensive terms from search before even launching and when this came out they just extended the list a little…

Sure, you can create a set of 'face templates' that may or not be linked to a profile, and then match against them as long as you have some meaningful way to use the matching templ…

unfortunately, it certainly doesn't seem like the company does this all the time. i got placed onto a team which has no bearing on my background experience whatsoever, and after ap…

that's weird, because my experience is exactly the opposite! I've spent about 4 months on my team so far, which has very little to do with my background, and after I realized just …

This is also not entirely accurate. I got my offer a good 5 months before I even knew which teams I had a chance to speak with before the allocation process, let alone before I kne…

I think this should also have the added effect of being overall faster, as doing lots of addition would be quicker than doing lots of multiplication (log notwithstanding).

As another sample, I'll say I'm far from feeling swindled. I was a bit disappointed that the publicly available ML class and its Stanford equivalent only differed in one optional d…

it's interesting because I just got the elevator question for the first time a month or two ago and was still scratching my head trying to figure out where the decision point on th…

completely agree. as someone that's just about to graduate, i have to say i was a little shocked when i figured out this is the way things are. the difference between the first eng…

I wonder if it's the link in "All content printed on 100% recycled internet memes"?

In my high school public speaking class, we also had a goal to remove these stop words from our speech by the end of the semester - but in our case, the teacher would simply stop y…

Absolutely (in the US here). Some carriers will allow you to block all text messages, which can get rid of the annoying ones you wouldn't want to accept, but also forces legitimate…

also often used for school mascots, at places such as Duke, my high school, and many others surely.

I've had a similar gripe with scrolling, although I encountered with text editors instead of browsers. Having used Sublime Text for a while (which does what the article suggests an…

F.lux is actually available for all platforms! I've been using it on Windows for a while, one of my favorite small utilities.

this is literally the first thing taught in both of the machine learning classes I've taken from Prof. Ng at Stanford, so maybe it's the application of logistic regression more tha…

for what it's worth, I'm taking Stanford's version of the ML class that Prof. Ng is offering, and aside from being a couple of weeks and ahead and having to do a final project, it …
