Question: can it discern (and label) different speakers? If so, could you kindly share the limit on speakers per video?

Right, if it’s a case interview, then higher accuracy ought to prompt the interviewee to ask: (1) Do the 200 cuts typically occur in clusters? (2) What’s the typical density, eg are they usually collocated? (as an alternative to the above) (3) Are there pathways that avoid the sea but connect Europe and North America (getting at density in the sea in question) Etc.

That’s what makes this one so good—lots of opportunities to extend or roll-back difficulty.

“Knowing that 200 undersea cables break every year globally, estimate the probability that 3 cables break in the baltic sea on the same day.”

I’m stealing this to use for grad-student mock-interviews—thank you!

The 3 min documentary listed in wiki is excellent…1500 mph and 57k ft capable is mind-blowing in and of itself—not to mention flying sans pilot!

They did, the translator communicates to the prisoners in English, and they pass along in Japanese to the guards. The article says they asked the translator.

How competative was the isp market in Utah before Google fiber subsidized the massive build-out?

Google threw in the towel on wiring more new cities about mid-way through the SLC build, which makes need think perhaps the biggest obstacle to your thesis bearing fruit, is upfront infrastructure investments…

Deepest condolences on your loss, and thank you for your candor—I can only speak for myself, but I’m definitely turning up my driving conservatism after reading your post.

The rc gliders are loaded chock-full with weight (tungsten or lead), we literally seek cover behind cars and boulders, and the bravest among us holds the radar speed gun—-if you want to see something outside of this world, or spark your kids’ imaginations as to the universe unlocked by the sciences—visit a DS site!

P.S. bring ski goggles—you’ll need them if the conditions are good, you won’t see without them if it’s a 400mph day—which is more and more common these days!

1) Clear your evening. 2) Do not Google, but rather jump straight to your favorite media platform, and locate a 2012 film named: “searching for sugar man.” 3) Watch alone because it’s impossible to watch without crying tears of joy

Who was calling customer service to begin with? I’m not a user, but I suspect there’s more margin with customers who are large enough to have a firm or internal team handle Shopify for them, and that’s not the type of person (one would hope) that would call customer service unless there was an account-level issue. If that’s the case, then they are simply evolving away from the mom-and-pop priority that made it so popular to begin with :(

Ha! I started on flight sim, made it to rc planes, and the first day of flight instruction, I told the instructor and he said: “if you can fly rc, you can fly full scale.” All I had to master was emergency procedures and some theory on the throttle vs pitch and I was off to the skies!

It’s usually a limited number of passes, so when customer k+1 requests access, customer 1 gets dropped. I don’t tell anyone about my library’s resources—they’re great, and so are the ones 2 counties up ;)

The rate at which your project becomes NPV positive.

If it takes $100 one year to return $110, then the irr is 10%, because a 10% interest rate would cause you to owe $10 at the end of the first year, which is exactly equal to cash generated.

Irr usually takes average accounting income per year in the denominator e.g. $10 in our case, and divided by the investment size.

Note: an investment that yields $5 at the end of each of two years is more attractive than one that pays $10 at the end of two years. Both have average accounting income of $5 per year, and the IRR is the same for each investment!!!!!! NPV scores the first incessant higher than the later--yet another reason why irr is a bad metric

Right. IRR has a number of problems, though many stem from the fact that it reports a percentage.

Npv/economic value added/etc. will yield one level per investment. And while you can sum these values for an aggregate, it’s not helpful to compare the npv of one investment for the other, because the fact that you have an NPV limits the risk of misinterpreting the investment as SCALEABLE. Some opportunities truly are finite, and cannot scale up—but if I were using irr to measure the value of selling my daughter painted Easter eggs, you’d think I have an investment of a lifetime—only to realize she has $35 stashed away, and is 10+ (hopefully 20+) years away from applying for credit!

Even were this not the case—short of an arrest, there is no way for the federal government to “serve you” in a contactable manner—whereas my sense is that this is not the case in Estonia and a growing number of spam nations, ie the government can mandate that citizens be reachable digitally (e.g. portal login is sufficient). The IRS has no inexpensive and scalable way of proving that the person on my end of the Internet is the person with the SSN in the filling (login.gov is great but not pushed throughout all the service branches).

What kind of kick backs do you offer doctors?

My partner’s obg will gladly market the highest bidder’s box until this space gets regulated.

I used to! Two things that have made a big difference:

1) Pay for a real spam filter from your telecom (usually free in highest tier plan). It’s remarkable hope much it catches, and I have never received a complaint in 5+ years

2) Buy a long term burner— your telecom usually sells a reasonable plan, or free if you pay for high tier coverage.

Me: same cell # for 25 years-22 too many with sprint (good spam shield when it didn’t crash) and more recently t-mobile (great spam guard and burner (named Digits)—both free upon request if you have a sufficiently expensive plan)

It’s often useful to have the obvious or insignificant already established in the literature allowing one to focus on more elusive and revolutionary research!

With all due respect—I have something which will blow your mind!

The city of Santa Monica broadcasts city council meetings. And both the items being adjudicated and the members from the public stepping up to the mic, are every bit as colorful as the brightest Hollywood blockbusters. I listened for years after leaving LA… KCRW Thursday evenings, grab some popcorn and enjoy!!

I think you mean Nature is capturing some of the rents bestowed upon authors for publishing in Nature.

Honestly, I wish more journals mandated open for a fee—I want my work open, but the choice makes it easy for universities to decline to pay—if mandatory, they would gladly pay 3x to have their researchers publish in top outlets (I’m in administration for a large R1)

Whoa! Best advice I ever received: accept everything. Here’s why:

(1) Editors will not send you garbage, but they will try at first

(2) You, in turn, torture yourself to find a path for the worst papers in your field (see “garbage” above) to make it through to publication—as in you do sooner of the work for the authors—anonymously of course, and you package it nicely in your review letter

(3) Editors still think: wow, that’s incredible—still going to reject this paper but this referee has skills

(4) Letter writing time you say? Good news, there’s a stack of editors that think you walk on water

(5) Tenure earned

(6) QED?

The NYT article suggests that one person validated the list—however that one person is an avid word game player, and is in fact the developer’s partner, for whom the game was created—so said validator likely had a deep vocabulary of highly arcane words!

I found the bit about whether the samples may have been altered in final transit interesting as well as the artificial crater created by landing—the rest, per my layman eye, is effectively reporting means, nothing interesting yet…

But does this really matter? When I pull-up google.com on mobile the search bar is instantaneous; what isn’t instantaneous, is all the superfluous junk that nobody visits google.com for…

Agreed, and SO thrilled that Yahoo hasn’t changed one iota since her departure—imagine what’s the world would be like today has she been at lycos or alta vista!

You are basing your argument on population based statistics. Healthcare workers are an important, large, and uniquely at risk sub-population.

Should you rx chemo therapy this afternoon? Probably not… unless you have a known tumor. Radiating random people off the street is not a good idea—I fully agree!

Clinics routinely require staff and physicians to be vaccinated against the flu lest there be an exemption on file.

Granted this article shared that the rate is low, it also surfaced mandates for healthcare:

Well played! I had to reread what your wrote—and it was worth it!

Suggesting that when the status page sends a status request and hears no response—it defaults to green—hear no evil and see no evil —> report no evil

Either way—overt lies or engineering incompetence—it’s disappointing!

two words: visit Switzerland

Also, absolutely agree with anyone suggesting that we eliminate “bulk rate”—unsolicited mail should cost as much as first class—both to avoid real world spam, and to save trees.

I pay extra for my carrier to block spam calls—I world gladly pay the post office to do the same—like PaperKarma.com but last mile…
