What's the use case for this and who are the customers?

Without more information, this seems like the most obvious choice. Whatever other companies are using AGI for other purposes, will likely be purchasing it from this company.

Why isn't there an app for this?

I live in a country where emergency services are completely unreliable, so my main experience of 911 / 999 emergency services is from television and films, and I've noticed a fair amount of friction in the phone call process, especially when it comes to verbally communicating the address. In addition to the phone number, wouldn't it be useful to also have native apps for this which optionally grant GPS access and camera access at the touch of a button?

The word "adventure" doesn't appear even once on the Airbnb Experiences page. I think they are two completely different things.

I'm curious to know what made you decide to teach Python 3 instead of Python 2? (I'm only asking because most courses these days seem to favor teaching Python 2).

I'm not sure what to think. Uber has proved itself to be a generally scummy company, but in this case I think they are being scapegoated by the government of India. Banning uber is not going to stop rapes in Delhi. Neither are the existing auto and taxi drivers any safer than uber.

Sorry, but I'm unable to see the photos in the TIME link.

Is ``binge drinker'' a synonym for ``alcoholic''? If not, what's the difference?
Comment · 12 years ago
Yes, this is also my primary confusion. What does the term ``binge drinker'' mean? I've never heard of this term so I have no idea what it means or how it should be used. I'm guessing it refers to someone who is addicted to binge drinking, but in that case they might as well use the term ``alcoholic'' which would be far less confusing.

I'm curious to know how ``binge drinking'' is defined for the purposes of this study. According to them, it seems that some people as ``binge drinkers'' and some are not. I've always thought of binge drinking as an event rather than a personality type. When I was in college, I used to engage in binge drinking quite regularly on weekends, but I would not have described myself as a binge drinker. Actually I'm not so sure of that, because I have no idea what the term ``binge drinker'' even means. Perhaps it means something like ``alcoholic?''

Yeah, I was thinking that if you added up all the IIT placements, they would be second only to MIT, but perhaps it's not fair to add them up like that, because each one is a separate institution.

Thanks for the clarification. I had actually never heard of this concept of ``unit margin,'' but it makes sense now. It's funny that I managed to go through an entire internship at a financial services firm (which included working with valuation models of AAPL) without ever encountering this concept. I guess it's no surprise that I didn't get offered a job at the end of the internship!

Yes, I also found the title to be ambiguous until I read the article.
