I doubt the team designing the chips has much overlap with the OS team.

I don't think it's a grave just a memorial. Someone probably fell off the cliff or something.

While true I don't think this driving problem is used as an example for something you should use ML for rather an example to show how you could apply it.

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure browsers block the clipboard functions unless they were triggered via user input. I don't know if a page load counts as a valid trigger.

Gizmodo's baking metaphor is really really awful.

Names possibly? I'm purely speculating here, but since India has such a huge population anyone with a indianesque name is probably Indian. Especially if it's the case that muslims from pakistan have distinct names. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Guess they should just do nothing then? Diversity in buisness is important. And Google has a whole pie from which apple can steal a big chunk of. Simply set apple search to be the default on safari and you immediately have a huge chuck of the market.

The thing I don't really see accounted for in these experiments is that UBI is not really "universal". It's a group, or a town who or are not isolated from the outside economy, and the participants are usually aware/suspect that this bonus income probably won't last forever, so they know they need to keep working to maintain their careers etc.

I'm not sure there's any way to account for it unfortunately, it is such a compelling idea though I think we kind of all want it to be real.

Spotify used P2P in the early days for this reason I belive. Worked out for them.

The US military isn't just doing it out of the goodness of their hearts. They want you to become a submariner!

Or at least that's what I think he's implying.

Just like when studying or doing homework getting started and setting yourself up is the hardest part. Keep your IDE and relevant tabs open, if you're on Linux set up a workspace for it and just push the rest aside. Once you start tackling some code you'll be in the zone and will probably have to test yourself away from it.
