Then you can also argue CHINA has "the hottest startup culture outside the US", based on NASDAQ http://www.nasdaq.com/screening/companies-by-region.aspx?reg...

Also among the top 10 unicorns by valuation (http://fortune.com/unicorns/): 6 from US, 3 from China and 1 from India.

Of course, the answer really depends on what you mean by "startup culture".

How fast is headless vs. normal? According to

https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/performance/c...

the chrome browser spends a decent amount of time on other steps such as parsing HTML. I wonder how much time could be saved by not rendering pages into pixels.

Correct me if I'm wrong, I think the deal benefits stripe as it acquires a good (and growing) user base.

The gap between sensationalism and pragmatism is measurement. The graph shows an accelerated growth of CO2 emission, but lacks exact profiling data to deduce reasonable actions.

I agree with most, but referrals are one of the most important indicators. "A hire As, B hire Cs". A known issue, however, is the workforce diverse given the heavy use of referral methods.

This might not be true given just a couple of hours staying in the office and talking to people. Management issues / technical debt are not visible until you work for the company.

It really depends the type of growth. Organic growth is driven by the quality of product therefore scaling issue comes later. But most venture-backed startup services such as O2O need quickly dominate market by throwing cash to get users so scaling is an issue from day one.

I don't view irratiality as a positive quality for entrepreneurs. From outsiders, they may seem crazy and stubborn. This is because those outsiders cannot understand the underlying assumptions or don't envision the world in the way the entrepreneur does. The entrepreneur should in fact always be rational, and make sure every decision is made based on solid ground.

Working in a car seems not a bad idea. We already have G-bus where people can read their emails.

The high dimensionality is merely for the convenience of optimization, so that we get smoother manifold on which a good approximation solution can be found. In that regard, it is interesting to think about of space of models that we humans can interpret, and the possibility of "distill" deep neural nets into models in that space.

Well, if all GUI interactions can be automated, what would be our next human interface to computers/AIs?

Save languages near extinction by building a machine translation model for them?
