Also, if you can find an ancient copy of Thomas Calculus when it was two volumes. Buy the first volume. Solve all the odd problems, the solutions are in the back. That's how I learned!
A later edition of Thomas was a single volume big thick yellowish book. It was very good. We used it as freshmen at MIT. You could learn from it. I don't remember if that version had answers in it. But solving problems and having answers to check against is key.
Prime candidates for sure but I don't know about prime position as they clearly had a lot of ground to make up on the tech. I agree with you on the hyper-aggressive business tactics, I bet there was an Aha! moment where they were like..wait, what if we get rid of the drivers?!
I've found lots of similar conflicting data. Seems to be a lot of misinformation and scams out there. I might start mining a bit as a hobby just to learn more about cryptocurrency because it seems like the only way to really profit would be to buy, either way you're hoping it's going to become more valuable.
"Refocus the company to be the Netflix of live TV, focusing on the delivery of live sports and news broadcasts while enabling fans/viewers to discuss in real time." I didn't feel like their experiments in live broadcasting NFL games drew a large audience last year. I think twitter offers sports fans a solid mobile experience(checking real-time reactions from other athletes and sports fans) while watching the game on a big screen HDTV. The biggest sports and political events are also social in nature, most of the time you're watching in a group of people. How do you get a group of people to watch a sports/political event on twitter and discuss in real-time? I agree that Twitter's modern day utility lies here but the switching costs for the user have to be reduced.
"How do you get a group of people to watch a sports/political event on twitter and discuss in real-time?" Via friend lists. If all your friends are watching the game and tweeting at the same time then you are discussing the game with them
"the switching costs for the user have to be reduced" The rise of smart TVs with apps will lead to ever easier delivery of streamed programming to traditional mediums such as TV, while also opening new viewing experiences on mobile, tablet and computer.
The book 'Deep Learning' generally refers to deeplearningbook.org, though there are others by that name. Goodfellow, et al, I think of as the canonical.
