Anyone identify which road the car is driving on? Looks familiar like the area around Foothills but couldn't tell.

f0under | 9 years ago | on: Ask HN: Starting machine learning? Books, videos and other resources

Came here to ask the same question. I'm a seasoned dev and UX designer. Really interested in where i can use design thinking with machine learning and needed a few starting points.

Besides tutorials and books, are there friendly communities for novices? Any interesting libraries to jump start projects?

Why is that? Besides preparing for understanding the role, culture, etc why would you need someone to brush up on their algo knowledge for your job interview? Do you believe that algo prep would make them better at their job?

It's amazing to get a 90s perspective on the "information highway". Besides advanced home automation, self-driving cars wonder what types of immature technology we're working on today will just be mainstream in the next 2 decades.

Timely..been trying to apply a software update and download garageband for the last hour. Should've checked their status page. Guess, i'll wait it out.

Any relation between this outage and Amazon's from earlier?

Anything after "?" is a query parameter that the server can read and then apply additional logic to for a response. In this case, they have code that responds to new logo and returns the new logo instead of the previous one.

I've never quite understood this statement. Aren't you still going to pay the monthly installments regardless of whether you were in a contract or not? On ATT, Verizon, etc, the non-contract prices aren't cheaper than the ones on contract.

So, at the end of two years, you'll be paying the same amount for your phone bill and have a subsidized device.
