They can try making more of what people want and charging for it with ads. People liked The Office, Mr Bean, Doctor Who. The BBC can produce perfectly good telly if they want to be competitive. Don't be Canada and subsidize mediocrity and bad art with public money. Soft power should be earned, not bought and paid by public coffers.
They need to get rid of the concept of weed out courses. It's bad for learning. If you are paying 30-50K a year for an education, course availability should be a given. Don't use the bell curve as an excuse to deny students an education, or if you are going to use a threshold, use a fixed one, not one that limits by percentage of students. The fat cat admins and professors need to be fired. Too many schools take the students' money and plow it into research and other areas, with zero regard for undergraduate education. "You are in university now, it's sink or swim. Can't make it? Too bad." This attitude is especially prevalent in the state/public unis, especially places like Berkeley where demands exceeds supply. Your traditional private colleges like Dartmouth and Harvard don't have this problem.
More like they learnt nothing from the brain drain due to Avro cancellation.
That's rich considering Python is routinely criticized here for lack of proper dependency management until recently. Just because Racket is a cute Lisp/academic language does not mean it should be held to lower standards especially considering their recent efforts in relicensing and marketing to be regarded as a "serious" production language.
And still no proper dependency versioning, it seems that the progress made by Npm, RubyGems, Cargo is entirely lost on them.
Rent the runway is a billion dollar company. A bigger issue is the danger of deplatforming and corporate terms of services when it comes to fundamental transport infrastructure.
Your Honor, the department misplaced the devices during the chaos of debriefing. By the time we retrieved it the data has self-destructed.
A New York Times reporter was also involved in that incident.

Where is the link to the source code?
I thought when they said they use existing wireless communication technology, they meant something like Microsoft's distributed signal processing arrays:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/meeting...
Perhaps using 4G and GSM signal quality as an ad-hoc doppler or metric for precipitation. Is their landing page inaccurate? Are they no different from other companies (besides the good at sales and marketing bit)? They seem to have a lot of big names on their customer list.
So are you saying that they are only good at sales? Out of curiosity where do you normally obtain the raw sensor data?
HN ML practitioners would probably find the Climacell method of weather forecasting to be relevant.
What do you mean by LS? Label Smoothing?
Neural network -> feature vectors.
Because dependency management for anything C/C++/Python related has often been a massive cluster* * * *. Rust's npm style package management is probably the greatest innovation to have hit low level programming in a long time. Not to mention anything Nvidia related is often closed sourced so you are programming against a black box API by a vendor infamous for their bad driver quality on non-Windows systems.
More like increased competition and computer generated avatars in the modeling and Instagram influencing industry.
Notarizations and medallions are not cheap.
For biology, assuming a CS/engineering background:
Campbell's Biology
Synthetic biology: A Primer
An introduction to systems biology by Uri Alon (get the 2020 edition)
O'Reilly: Biobuilder
There isn't enough officially supported first class tooling. Most things that are a given for Rust/JavaScript/Go are community maintained with only one maintainer in Clojure, development is slow and features take a long time to roll out. (Let's not delude ourselves that Webpack level of donations is even possible here) This is a problem with every language that is small but it is particularly problematic with Clojure as it has a commercial company behind it but you get the feeling that they are disinterested in promoting the language and ecosystem beyond selling their database software. Go also espouses "frameworks bad, libraries good" but the biggest difference is that they actually have a strong robust ecosystem of solid libraries while pretty much every Lisp claims to have production-ready libraries but expect you to cobble together the entire kitchen sink from scratch.
English is not that foreign though, it is also Germanic.
HN needs something like r/science's level of rigorous moderation when it comes to comments on scientific articles that are not math/CS/classical mechanics related.
Welp, I called it two weeks ago - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23146976
Can you add a flappy bird demo? I find that flappy bird demos for state-over-wire tech like LiveView and Blazor to be a great gauge for performance and latency. If there is the slightest delay or inconsistency in performance you will be able to tell immediately.
I have a longer list of such technologies here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19716696
Tailwind CSS?
Depending on the algorithm, you might be able to skip from GPGPU straight to ASIC.
If you truly believe in what they are doing, then buy their stock and prop up the price, because it is plunging right now. Words alone are about as useful as clapping for healthcare workers.
Considering how verbose the current UX of Redux is, this needs to be merged into mainline React. Are there any significant performance overhead? This is a really great library, the ergonomics look amazing and the documentation is just gorgeous.
Somebody needs to tell the Racket people about this. Dependency management in Racket is still C-style no-version-pinning-anything-goes. The third party dependency managers (see below) are all primitive and do not support multiple versions of the same libraries which is a standard feature in Go/Node.js/Rust/Java class loaders
