Torrents seem to match your definition pretty well. And it's a quite successfull technology.

Not youtube, but I love Charles Isbell and Michael Littman's machine learning course on Udacity: https://in.udacity.com/course/machine-learning--ud262 They explain the topic in a very clear way, and are very funny

But you already can insert a bang at the end of the search string

Yeah but it's less nice, and if you're running on a distant server you have to deal with X forwarding

If you work with image processing, notebooks are very handy as they can display images directly. Also to display tables nicely with pandas, or for any data visualization actually.

Not parent but for me two main reasons would be : free, lighter / faster.

Why do you have the fixed length requirement?

Regular lists seem to work perfectly for this

The difference is that Jobs wasn't putting people's life in danger as theranos did by releasing malfunctionning blood testing machines

Self regulation, really?

Startups could never self regulate and never will. And a few bad startups can be enough to do massive damages.

Look Cambridge analytica: this startup alone made the case for regulations like GDPR.

As a user, I really am pleased with gdpr, so that "do-no-evil" startups stop selling my data around and not caring at all about my privacy.

I have a window sitting next to my Linux and I use it about twice a year, it's no maintenance at all (less than a VM I would say)

Then use a dual boot with Windows. It's quite simple to set up.

Linux is the best os for programming imo (especially if you develop software for Linux servers), so why not keep both?

New comment by cdancette in "Why Entrepreneurship Programs for Engineers Fail"

cdancette — Fri, 11 May 2018 06:12:52 +0000

I don't believe this. It just depends on the motivation of the entrepreneur. I know entrepreneurs who created non-profit startups and work to improve public services, what do you say about this?

If your motivation is only money, I'm not sure you can go as far as when you have a true goal. Look at Elon musk, I'm sure he could have made money much more easily if he would have continued into banking services like PayPal.

I think we are slowly gaining consciousness about the danger of ads. It's really pernicious but I think has overall terrible effects on people (self estime, food / alcohol consumption...). And not just ads, but also product placement in movies / TV shows.

I think it's terrible for our health and our minds.
