The funnel shape of the scatter plot immediately reminded me of an article on the insensitivity to sample size pitfall [0], which points out that you'll expect entities with smaller sample sizes to show up more often in the extremes because of the higher variance.

Looks like the tags with the biggest differences exemplify this pretty well.

There seems to be a pretty wide spectrum of abstraction for DL tools, from writing by hand to Theano to Keras, for example. Will this course focus on any tool in particular?

I often find myself frustrated when an important decision is made with little explanation in politics or business by someone who I assume is intelligent. It may strike me as a bad decision, but I try to be charitable and assume they have a good reason. I've thought that they often don't offer good explanations because they feel too busy to take the time to communicate, they're just not good at communicating or they don't recognize its importance.

This post suggests they could also have a better perception of the possible risks that even effective communication could entail than I do.

1. No distinction 2. Not unless they ask you

And everyone who's been exposed to both says it's the same courses and rigor as the on-campus version.

My wife and I have done some of the same coursework (for different degrees), me on campus and hers online. I actually would have preferred online. Rigor seemed equivalent, but I find the ability to pause and rewind lectures invaluable.

There is zero reason for AMP to be hijacking URLs or embedding any additional elements into a page that are detectable by the average user.

Beyond that, universal opt-out should be possible and stats on the percentage of users opting out should be published real-time.

As such, until this is addressed, I am against AMP.

On ios safari, holding down the refresh button in the url bar gives you the option to request the desktop site.

As kludgy as that is, I've found it a worthwhile workaround until this is fixed.

How else will they make up the lost gasoline tax revenue?
wcbeard10 · 9 years ago
It's a tricky issue, and gas tax probably won't be enough going forward.

The EV fee is a bit disproportionate because of the limited range and fewer average miles driven, but there's no easy fix.
