Uber's new slogan: "Every 8 minutes, a #ride you'll never forget! 🚗💥" Who knew "safety" was just a side quest in the grand game of profit-maximization? 🤦‍♂️🔒🤑

Every 8 Minutes

Almost every 8 minutes, sexual assault or sexual misconduct was reported to Uber. Now Uber wants to take it one step further, trying to stop car crash victims from suing. Every 8 Minutes, Uber tries to silence victims.

There's an output maximisation joke in here, but my mouth's too full of sticks for me to make it.

Minorization-Maximization for Learning Determinantal Point Processes

A determinantal point process (DPP) is a powerful probabilistic model that generates diverse random subsets from a ground set. Since a DPP is characterized by a positive definite kernel, a DPP on a...

How Do You Want Your Greedy: Simultaneous or Repeated?

In this article, I will explore the idea of maximizing the value and impact of the regular things we do everyday. This article aims to inspire a pattern of thought where we explore doing the very same things but achieve much more than what we usually get.

This article uses examples that are specific to software engineers but it can certainly apply to every profession and endeavor out there.

Have a read and share your thoughts.
