Wait what?

The market for used or late model phones is not entirely disconnected from the market for new phones. If new phones are selling for $100 the used/late model phone market will be different from a new phone market pegged at $1000.

How about a car that warms up instantly.

"No, it isn't. It's like "assuming" there isn't an integer between 5 and 6"

"If there was another way to put a real intelligence together, the AI guys would have found it by now"

in what universe are phones getting cheaper?

Drivers license is the big one. If I'm just making a run to the store or gym, I really don't need cash or the other ids in my wallet. Besides I've learnt to permanently store cash in my glove box

this argument applies to every cellphone payment solution. For me the benefit isn't the time saved in pulling out a credit card it is the fact that I may not need to carry a wallet anymore. I'm not sure I can do that just yet.

"I'm not saying I'll know it when I see it. I'm saying, if you know what you are doing (and more often that not I think I do) you will get good output"

I think its more than modeling and tooling... it is a lot to do with relevance. You may use the right models and tools to analyze third quarter defense for a group of players and that is all well and good but the most fundamental question is "Is that relevant to anything worth caring about?". The models and tools will…

I actually I believe them and the reasoning is straight forward. If it is so obvious that the right thing to do is run the ball then it cannot be so obvious that that is the best thing to do. Why? If you know this, what do you think the defense who is paid to know these things is thinking?

How do you know bad analytics from good analytics? If the answer is results then we have a problem since it is difficult to trace the effects of analytics to any result good or bad.

For most non-trivial endeavors the future remains very uncertain.

So why did he wait till he was cut before saying this? So this is really about being cut then.

Raising money for <blank> research is usually bullshit.

Yeah you don't get it. Let me explain how it looks from the average man's perspective

I tend to be a skeptical of the wearables revolution so I was intrigued when I saw this headline but even I think the entire Jez interpretation is bulshit.

I don't think I'm missing the point. My point is that a magazine cover having the power to make a LOT of women uncomfortable and feel shitty about themselves is the problem. You can enact a law to outlaw magazines but sooner or later something else will come around and make you feel shitty about yourself. So you are…

Yeah thats gay

hey... why do you care?.. just be whoever YOU are or whoever YOU want to be. The very fact that a magazine cover makes you feel inadequate is the problem. Sorry but its going to very difficult to protect you from all magazine covers and any other trivialities that make you feel inadequate. The world, unfortunately, is…
