In the article it talks about how the app has been displaying trip prices for the test users (even though they don't pay). No dates given but that's a positive step.


Shkreli's crimes had nothing to do with the drug prices. Unless you think the jury/judge was biased due to it.


I was going to comment in here about how the Simons Foundation runs Quanta. Glad other people have mentioned it. Simons is an amazing guy.


Twitter can be a very valuable resource if you follow the right people.

No matter what industry you are interested in, there are leaders worth following on Twitter.

One example for finance, Cliff Asness. He's a billionaire quant hedge fund guy, but he tweets every day.

There's a ton of investors, businesspeople, reporters, programmers, researchers, etc. that are very active on Twitter, not to mention the plethora of comedy accounts that I find hilarious.


I've always thought Shannon has been a bit underappreciated as a scientist


I vividly remember when it crashed down from around 900 a few years ago and the /r/bitcoin subreddit literally had suicide hotlines pinned.


It's quite obvious they're doing this to diversify. It's not exactly a shock.


2001: A Space Odyssey is the greatest movie ever IMO.


+1 See it in 70mm if you can. :>


I'm hoping there will be some opportunities around the 50th anniversary of its release, April 3, 2018. I've actually been waiting for that for years. :)


Here's a YouTube playlist where a guy made a self-driving vehicle in GTA V using Python.

He also streams the self driving vehicle 24/7 on Twitch, it's quite amusing to watch, every now and then the autonomous vehicle causes an accident and ends up being chased by the Police LOL https://www.twitch.tv/sentdex

It was also very interesting in the early days because you could see the agent getting much better day after day.


haha, I switched just in time to see it meekly surrender to the police.

It looks like it still has a lot of improving to do to manage basic stuff like not accelerating into oncoming vehicles, but it's quite neat to see that its mastered the art of stealing another vehicle after writing its own off, which isn't something your average self driving neural network gets trained on.


I just started watching this series independently, it's great to see how far it has come! I had no idea there was a 24/7 twitch stream, this is hilarious.


This is misleading. They are only changing the desktop app. For me, not much changes.
