Often this sort of material seems to be a collection of methods and understanding them, which is obviously important to being able to use them. However, I usually feel like the example problems are much cleaner and simpler than those I've encountered in business. I feel like there's this missing link between learning the methods and doing something that actually adds significant value for a business using machine learning. Perhaps it's just me or my field though.

I found that usually lots of work involved just transforming or examining data in relatively simple ways or using human expert decisions as to important threshholds for outliers. For example I could run an outlier algorithm on data and either the returned outliers were very obvious and could have been found using a manual query by knowing the business context, or it returned alot of false positive outliers that were useless for the business.
Other times, we'd have a predictive model that was good for 95% of cases but would make our company look ridiculous on predictions for the other 5%, so couldn't use it in production-- and the nature of the data was such that we couldn't use the model for only certain value ranges.

Perhaps it was just the nature of our realm of business (telecom), and these approaches are more useful for others (advertising, stock trading, etc). Any experience with business fields where this stuff made a sizable impact for something they productionized in business they can share?

What makes you think something happened to the music industry? It's still alive and well.
This is a great idea. We will get on this.

Eat food. Mostly plants. Not too much. If that doesn't work for you, talk to a doctor.
In an abstract academic sense, maybe. The fact is, that's what the vast majority of people think autopilots do. You can either spend billions on ad campaigns and such and still probably only reach 10% of the market over the course of a few years, or you can just call the feature something else.

Atkins is not a keto diet. Atkins starts keto, then reintroduces carbs.

Weight loss is simple: calorie deficit. However, switching from carbs to fats and taking advantage of some of the metabolic processes your body has to offer makes the process easier for many people. Calorie deficit with less hunger and decent energy. It helps a lot.
Taken as a whole, sure, but the recording industry is a shadow of its 90s self. The analogy here may be that the studio system is floundering while upstarts with fresh business models flourish.
That can be easily prevented. Just mark rides as free only if start or end within 50-100 feet of billing address.
I am Danish (now live in NY) and grew up with Kaj and Andrea and Bamse and Kylling (and Anne and Lotte) and so many other children shows.

They where mostly products of the seventies and I would argue they where educational by not being pedagogic.

I am more annoyed by my youngest who watch YouTube kids. He is not just watching "ABC" but also shows about other children who play.

In some ways it's the same as the Danish shows yet filled with product placement stuff so I guess I kind of understand how Danish children shows must feel to foreigners.

At the end we probably shouldn't worry too much. At those ages kids don't really learn as much as evolve.

Vista was just bad marketing. After that whole fiasco Microsoft did market tests where they presented consumers with a "new version" of Windows that was actually just Vista, and they got a positive response. And even if you don't believe that story completely, the fact that Windows 7 wasn't all that different from Vista and yet got just as popular as XP was says a lot.

You are welcome to propose some objective/natural "right" criteria. If you do you probably should send it to the Nobel Price committee because that would basically be changing all of philosophy and a number of other areas.

So yeah I guess unfortunately might is the final word in right.
> The way I see it, Andrew Ng is an entrepreneur co-founder with a startup called Coursera. He makes his courses free, because he's a good guy, and free attracts the audience that makes his platform worth something.

I liked this class and Andrew seems like a great guy but I'd like to point out that it's no longer free to take the evaluations for Coursera courses. Coursera is a startup and needs to find a way to monetize the courses to stay in business. I have no problem with that but I think its a little disingenuous to present Coursera as a free service when its clearly not.
Are you sure about that? I'm not sure heroin addiction has much price elasticity...
Oh, weird. Even though the movie didn't do great, it seems implausible that renaming it and throwing away all that marketing investment would help the DVD release. I wonder if that plan has ever been successful.

Hacker Releases More Democratic Party Documents
Chiming in to say that I have the same exact experience :) I work in security, and we use these methods to detect anomalies or classify malicious content or URLs. A silly false positive is embarrassing, even if it happens once. Humans always augment our methods, or we have to set expectations to the customer that we are trading off accuracy for speed. Fast customer support usually helps against false positives too.
And worse then sue to try and keep exploits hidden.

It is like the vehicle industry is stuck in the 1990s. We've moved so far beyond that elsewhere, software designed to be updated, working WITH not AGAINST white hats, and having designs secure on paper first before you implement.

Vehicle manufacturers put convenience and speed ahead of solid security principles, and it is only going to get worse with more wireless connectivity making it into vehicles year upon year.
While we're at it, why not just get out of the car, take off all our clothes, and just lie face down on the pavement, butt naked, arms and legs spread wide??

If I recall correctly, credit card processors for the porn industry have to do some quite heavy monitoring of site content. Also, there are of course issues with chargebacks and fraud which is why they charge larger fees.

I would assume that banks can be the best enterprise profile user of event sourcing. For traditional application we use the DB rollback for failure mitigation and banks are actually explicitly doing that. I think the event is already there and they are essentially using the same concept as event sourcing if I'm not mistaken.

And I think its much easier to make it work. There is a lot of associated domain and logic but the core of banks is a series of transactions (never worked so could be completely wrong) .. source, destination, amount. It looks poster child for event sourcing/log based architecture.
Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut:

“It’s hard for me to imagine how just having a bunch of numbers, cellphones and emails would in any way affect the election,” he said. “It wasn’t totally unexpected.”

“Someone could cause a lot of damage if they were able to send emails out from a member’s account, but I’m not hearing that that’s a risk at this point.”

Me: I have yet to see a cryptographically signed e-mail from a politician, and without that, spoofing such a message would be almost trivial. Do they keep their cybersecurity well hidden from the public?
Fortune Wheel – Motu Patlu in Hindi
I was wondering when someone was going to mention this. I can add about 11-12 pounds of body-weight by scale reading in a single day simply by eating food rich in carbs the day prior. Cutting the Carbs out of my diet see's that weight disappear (thought it takes 4-5 days). Adding Potassium, Sodium, Magnesium supplements to meals reduces the water loss somewhat.

Agreed - that the real question isn't weight, per se, but Lean Body Mass. DexaScan is also a good approach to nailing down that number.

His thoughts on how definitions reflect different ways of thinking, as a human, is profound to me. The importance of communication discussed in the paper is relevant for any technical field.
I don't get it, and I've really tried. I'm referring to the keto diet (though this person's approach is obviously extreme overkill). I absolutely love meat, but when I go that low on carbs, I feel like crap. And sure, some people say if I just wait 4 weeks to 6 months my body will adjust, but... why bother?

Get a calorie tracker like my fitness pal, set a goal weight loss, stick to it, and 1 lb per week will be a breeze. You don't need a fad diet. For me, meticulously paying attention to what I was putting into my body and putting a number next to it made it a no brainer. It was almost gamified at that point.
I'm in exactly this situation. Had my VW's key stolen, and now they are asking $200 for a replacement.

Just wow.

What do they even shoot that video with? Is there a helicopter flying around him while he climbs? Maybe a small drone or something? The helicopter would be pretty unnerving I suppose, and it's probably even more dangerous to fly a helicopter that close to a stone wall.

Not being an expert in this field, I would guess that the barriers would lie primarily in tooling up the process to handle kilometers of material at a go, rather than making one-off surgical cornea scalpels.

During the first dot com boom, an MIT spin-off company tried to sell a new server side language. It looked something like Lisp with curly braces. I don't remember the name of the company or language.

You can have fire underwater, take for example Magnesium torches. Knowing what we know now about technology, it is difficult to imagine getting to this point underwater. But imagine a life form that lived in these conditions from the beginning, and perhaps having tools and doing chemistry may not be so far fetched after all.

> What makes you think something happened to the music industry? It's still alive and well.

Honestly I am more excited by music now than I've ever been. People often cite the 90s and early 2000s as these halcyon days, but I feel like interesting music is way more accessible now than it has ever been. I can queue up tunes from virtually any independent label at the press of a button, I can order vinyl and have it on my front stoop within 24 hours... and that's just from the consumer side. From the artist side, genres are colliding left and right at a neck breaking pace, musicians are spanning scenes that wouldn't have held shows in the same city 10 years ago, and we are seeing crazy creative musical output. If you aren't having a god damn certified blast in music right now, well, I dunno what to tell you.
Hacking for Diplomacy: Solving Foreign Policy Challenges
Well, okay. But this isn't an answer to the fundamental dilemma of the DAO hack: either Ethereum should have forked, admitting that smart contracts aren't really a good idea, or it shouldn't have forked, admitting that smart contracts aren't really a good idea. This manifesto just argues that the second option is right, but that doesn't change the conclusion.

Specifically, I have seen a lot of buggy software. I don't think I've ever seen any truly bug-free software. I expect, therefore, that if I put money into a smart contract, that contract is going to have a bug in it somewhere. What happens when the bug is discovered and exploited? If you say "Some humans will decide that's not what was meant," that's wonderful--but I already have a financial system where humans make usually-reasonable judgments about fraud and can reverse transactions. It's not perfect, but I have a decent set of expectations about it, it works well enough, and it's very well-supported. If you say "No, the contract is the contract" (as these people do), fantastic: you have a compellingly different product, not just a bunch of complicated math on top of a system that's as squishy as my current financial system. But why at all should I believe that it's different for the better? Now I have an expectation that a bug will exist, and be exploited, and it will be correct for the bug to be exploited. If the goal is correctness, that's great. But if the goal is getting me to use the system, why would I want that?

Or, as Matt Levine put it in his writeup of the DAO hack (https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2016-06-17/blockchai...):

"Financial systems are supposed to work for humans. If the code rips off the humans, something has gone wrong."
> The limited lifetime and ephemerality of content

While I love[1] the idea of having a place for ephemeral anonymous communicationj, that may have been only a local feature. As Jason Scott said[2], "You're like, 'No one notices if I post on 4chan.' [...] I have ten million archived threads of 4chan, for five years." I'm sure that number has grown in the years since he said that. 4chan only seems ephemeral.

[1] I totally agree about /b/ (and the rest of 4chan) being raw unfiltered humanity; it's a lot of junk, a few examples of humanity at its worst, and a handful of creative gems. A majority, I think, is simply people trying to express themselves in new ways. We need a place for that kind of free experimentation.

They could still do that without splitting into ETC. In fact, without splitting into ETC, it's even easier to stay in the sideline and yell into the sky that fundamentally, the technical aspect of ETH is shit. By splitting into ETC, they gave up a lot of arguments against ETH, leaving themselves with only the ideological argument.

Make Money from Home Online: Winning with Sports Betting Systems
Sports betting, also acknowledged as sports wagering, is the process associated with wagering money on sports activities events awaiting a winning or perhaps a losing outcome. It's possible to also bet on the score selection of a sports event. Make money from home wagering is actually deemed unlawful in certain countries. As a result, lots of people use offshore online sports books to overcome this hindrance. Where sports gambling are permissible, the lowest chronological age of gamblers is actually, as a rule, established at Twenty one years old. It’s an upsetting actuality which a minimum of 90% of sports gamblers throw money away in the long run, only for why these people risk no a plan or even sports betting system. In addition, the majority don’t consume a strict self-disciplined money management strategy. Punters can place money on an extensive number of sports for example United states football, basketball, baseball, soccer, hockey, boxing, equine racing -- to tag several -- depending on exactly what their sports book provides. Spread wagers, parlays, proposal bets, teaser games are just some of the betting types. Every one of these features its own individual guidelines. http://www.thebetdetective.com/

TL;DR: The British publishers of Chamber's Encyclopaedia were outraged to find subtantial and ideological edits to numerous articles within their encyclopedia.

I found the topic of particular interest as the first article listed as among those changed was among the topics I was hoping to see detailed in the publication.

There's some additional history (I'm in the midst of compiling more background), but the fact that the American publisher was backing economic viewpoints strongly opposed to those gaining the upper hand in Britain may just possibly have had something to do with this.
Sunk cost fallacy. A director shoots bad material, they don't go back and start over. They make due with what they have because of what they've already spent on it.

Disney does the opposite. Look at what we've heard about the Rogue One -- the studio felt that it was good but not great and sent them back for a whole bunch of (expensive) reshoots. Pixar does the same. If they don't like the final product they'll rip it apart and do it again.

JV Partner Wanted Urgently,Make 50% Commission Promoting Highly Demanding EBook
One amusing consequence of the "fork" is that it demonstrates that there are few Etherium contracts outstanding that matter. Otherwise, the people on opposite sides of the contract would be having big disputes over where their contract ended up. Did anybody other than the DAO crowd actually use that feature for anything big enough or long term enough to matter?
If it was Bitcoin I would say putting regulation in place made no sense. If you wanted regulated currency you could use USD, EUR and so on.

As for ETH putting regulation in place makes more sense. What you get is "regulated smart contracts" environment. "Fiat smart contracts" if you will. The real question then turns into: How is the regulatory authority governed? Is it a participatory democracy? A representative democracy? A dictatorship?

That's not to say that there's no need platform for unregulated smart contracts as well.
