link is broken for me


Fixed


I am CTO of a startup (and use to be freelance dev). I once did the Introduction into Machine Learning course on Coursera (https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning).

Although I would agree with most opinions here that that does not make me into a data scientist by any meanse, I do really like that I have a good "helicopter view" of ML. This is still super benificial in my role today, as I know which kind of statistical models apply to certain kind of problems. This enables me to find the right people for the right solution with much more ease.


I don't think OP meant course completion certificates.


Very cool!


Making it to Mars http://www.spacex.com/mars


I don't think SpaceX ever flew tourists. That would be Virgin Galactic.


I believe they took deposits to fly people around the moon this year but ended up canceling those plans


Sort of. They did take a deposit but that had been based on the assumption that the Falcon Heavy would do the flight with a Crew Dragon. Those plans have been cancelled as SpaceX no longer plans to use the FH for human flights to the moon (or anywhere, even orbit).

Instead they plan on using the BFR for that. I don't know what happens with that deposit that was made. Chances are it rolls over into getting whoever it was a flight on the BFR to the moon.


Neither of them did, both plan to.



thank you!


TicketSwap is very popular in Amsterdam.


Catawiki certainly is.


Noticed this as well. When I started using DDG it was like stepping 10 years back in time. Lots of interesting niche websites that look straight out of the 00's.

I mostly miss google when searching for physical locations, but the !g comes in handy there.


I've recently switched to DuckDuckGo as default search engine in Chrome, and have quite liked it. I still miss Google sometimes (especially when looking for physical places etc.), but its easy enough so surf to google.com on those occasions.


You can add !g to your ddg query to redirect you to a google search.
