As much as I like the phrase "buzzword-powered horseshit," there are always opportunities to apply new technologies in a creative way. In this case, it seems obvious to me that NNs will do a good job in identifying latent features that would otherwise slip past a linear model.

Prevention is not the issue. It is the development of reactive thought patterns that result in being distracted too frequently. It's hard to think when you're used to not thinking at all.

I've lived in Toronto for a while and Queen's Quay is lined with expensive condos and corporate skyscrapers. I don't really understand what you mean by scummy.

Do you mean the port lands? There's nothing wrong with that area. It was built for industrial shipping. The only eyesore in that area (Rebel) opened up no more than 3 years ago. If you mean Lakeshore, those tent cities under the Gardiner are recently established as well.

Take a water taxi over to Hanlan's before Winter rolls around. It'll change your perspective. We have a beautiful city.

Twins and siblings that look like you are not random people.

I think it's unfair to characterize a company with over 200,000 employees as a technical sweatshop. The organizational structure is flat to limit the reach of poor management and lacklustre engineering.

I loved my job as an intern there. My manager was great. My team was great. Everyone worked between 8 and 10 hours per hours, with those on the latter end of the spectrum being intense, CS-in-your-veins types.

I can respect your perspective if you've worked there and your experience left much to be desired, but it is still a bit silly to make sweeping generalizations for a company as large and expansive as Amazon.
