  1. Well you have zero understanding of the problem. This isn't pattern recognition, this is detecting deviations from data points. This is something that computers do very very well. You don't give the computer the image of the graph, although you could, you give it the data points. Christ.

    You are right. That big fat belly is 100% muscle.

  3. Something is fishy with this story:

    "These observations are simple graphs about what colors of light came from each pinpoint source (called a spectral graph). Because a computer isn't easily programmed with such a vague task as "find something weird and cool," Ourique was challenged with the grunt-work task of physically looking at printed out pages of all 300,000 graphs."

    Computers are very good at finding "weird and cool" things from graph data. Why would you need to look at printed out pages?

    That is the dumbest thing I have ever read on here, and that is saying a lot. If anything, suburban sprawl is unsustainable. It destroys land that would otherwise be used for growing food, and destroys streams and forests as well. Suburban people use more energy per capita than city people do.

    No. It looks normal to me?

  8. The point is use a different library then if you need the functionality. It has nothing to do with "Python" or "PHP" or "Go". And if there isn't a library that does it for your language, then write your own librarary. Don't expect everyone to implement everything under the sun.

    This is a function of libraries, not languages. People are getting dumber in this industry.

    In our company the policy is you need to contact the CEO verbally in order to do these transactions. No one authorizes multimillion transactions via email, because of these phishing attacks. So there is your insight.

    They might be excellent, but those aren't what they mean by original content. They are talking about shows that Netflix funded exclusively for Netflix.

  19. An email is not "approval". Christ. Everyone with a brain knows that emails can be faked. Do you really think those email messages from "Facebook, Inc" are from Facebook?

  20. Really? How would the boss feel if you lost $3 million on the basis of an EMAIL when a 20 second phone call would have prevented it??? Christ, how stupid are YOU?

  21. A simple phone call to the CEO would have confirmed the request was legitimate. But I'll bet the execs all got a bonus anyway that year.

    It isn't a typing error. The words "peek" and "poke" are fundamental to computing. If you repeatedly use "peak" instead of "peek" then you don't have any sort of basic knowledge of computing. In addition, his description is nonsensical.

    If you can't use the word "peek" properly you shouldn't be commenting on computer related issues at all.
