Not having a model in stock one month after announcing it is not a huge deal though. Time to delivery of a Chevrolet Bolt in Canada was over 6 months after launch :/

This is only true for refugees, economic migrants usually have a wide range of good jobs to choose from.

And unemployment is at its lowest point in year in Canada.

Since this is about computing at the edge, I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the intel neural compute stick 2?

I got one recently and I am not convinced, but I suppose someone on HN might have legitimate use cases.

This article almost feel like an ad. Especially the last line...

What did the author do with it?

If your end game is working professionally just check what is more in demand in your geographic location.

Personal opinion

C# is a lot better than Java. You have less boilerplate code (getter and setter in 2018, really?) and lambdas are great.

But really both are similar so you can pretty much just start with one and still find your way in the other.

I think the author makes a point but also misses (or voluntarily glosses over) important counter points.

1) Machine learning (which includes deep learning) still hasn't been applied to a lot of field that would draw benefits even from a basic CNN.

2) While AI/Smart branded crap is indeed all the rage right now (and part of the bubble imo), most of those are not learning algorithms and rely on cheap marketing tricks (looking at you Oracle).

Bottomline: lot of hype comes with empty promises and ultimately the people's dissatisfaction, but there is a real demand and need for applied machine learning in many fields.

Same here with Star Wars/ASOIAF content.

I get it. You figured I like those two things, but it's incredible that it won't pick up that I am (hopefully) not that dull.

A fair point, but I, for one, will give him a chance.

Behold Canada, I pay about twice as much for 120/20 Internet only.

Can you elaborate on why using a requirements.txt file is "manual hell"?

I rely on it for pretty much everything and I didn't run into game breaking problems.

Presenting "not using Electron" as a significant way to reduce our impact on the environment has to be the most HN thing I ever read.

I don't want to jump the gun and call it creepy just yet, but what is it for exactly?

As a foreigner I have an alipay account and didn't need a Chinese back account.
