In the article it talks about how the app has been displaying trip prices for the test users (even though they don't pay). No dates given but that's a positive step.
Twitter can be a very valuable resource if you follow the right people.
No matter what industry you are interested in, there are leaders worth following on Twitter.
One example for finance, Cliff Asness. He's a billionaire quant hedge fund guy, but he tweets every day.
There's a ton of investors, businesspeople, reporters, programmers, researchers, etc. that are very active on Twitter, not to mention the plethora of comedy accounts that I find hilarious.
Wall Street bailouts were necessary to keep our country and economy intact. Most if not all of the money has been paid back. Agree on the war part though, it sucks that we spent so much on it.
Looks pretty interesting. I'm not a photographer/videographer but I'm familiar with RED due to its use on YouTube. I'm pretty excited to see more of this phone. I'm not sure how they'll use Android. I obviously expect an amazing camera, and hopefully support for high quality audio. Price point makes it even more interesting.
I posted this comment about 15 minutes after I discovered Hacker News. Wasn't sure on the culture here compared to places like reddit. It seems to be similar to the more specialized subreddits.
I read the book Complications by Atul Gawande a while back and it touched on this issue. He mentioned how a computer was more accurate at detecting heart attacks than an experience doctor. He also talked about how if the computer is better than the doctor at reading things like these, it really doesn't make much sense for the doctor to have to evaluate/approve the results. Kind of reminds me of James Simons' thought process on quantitative trading at RenTech.
Sorry about the lack of technical knowledge into the CS stuff, first post here and I haven't really put in the time to learn about CS and AI yet.
