If they can make that conversion this seems like it would be a steal. $225/sq ft versus over $1000/sq ft for residential in SF. SF doesn't seem like somewhere that would vote again…

If this trend continues, with less office space used, while population numbers stay stable or increase, is there a possibility of commercial buildings like this being rezoned to re…

> Tech has been bending over backwards for quite a while, but to no avail. You're applying a false equivalence here. Some things are positive changes and make sense, and some are n…

It's been 12 days since they tested everyone. My understanding is that the results for serological tests are available right away, so I was expecting them to publish results within…

It sound like they're using land that Google already owns for this: "First, over the next 10 years, we’ll repurpose at least $750 million of Google’s land, most of which is current…

"The security lapse was first reported last month, but at the time, Facebook said it only happened to “tens of thousands of Instagram users,” whereas the number is now being revise…

Sure, but there's a big difference between a college kid at 20 and a man at 35. I don't know where you draw the line on things you can assume someone has outgrown, or how they've c…

This incident is the first one I've felt this strongly about. There have been many others, but even Cambridge Analytica, to use that example, was just taking information that was s…

I assume the point here to send someone a message on FB with a Spotify link, so they click on it in their messages and it opens up the Spotify app. If you just want to send a messa…

I don't know what I'm voting on this yet, but it's certainly not a simple matter, and there are many smart and compassionate people who don't support the measure. Here are the mayo…

Airbnb switched to a "double blind" review system several years go, so you only see the other person's review after you've written your own. If you don't leave a review within two …

Exactly. bayesianhorse's approach is perfectly valid, but your response describes our reasoning for our approach.

We'd love to do this. As you can imagine, however, it's a very time consuming task, and there are a lot of competing priorities (including other projects we've open sourced) and we…

Agreed, this describes our reasoning pretty well. Additionally, as we mentioned towards the end of the post, the incremental benefit of a model not supported by PMML is unlikely to…

No, features are definitely a business secret. My goal was to share as much as possible that might be helpful to others combating fraud, without giving anything away that would hin…

Thanks! It varies depending on the model, but in most cases, yes, the confirmation of fraudulent activity is manual since having the ground truth be correct is critical

"They generate revenue very early on in their lives. Often as soon as they get their first user." Is this true? If "super successful" can be understood as "the biggest tech IPOs of…

Hey everyone, I'm one of the engineers who worked on Verified ID. I'm going to keep reading all the comments people leave, but rather than respond to all of them on here, I've writ…
