At first glance, it's interesting. We currently use Freshdesk. We have around 3 people that use it daily. We get around 100 emails per day.

Re: the price point, it's certainly cheaper than a full-fledged offering like Freshdesk, but honestly if there's one thing most businesses are probably comfortable paying for, it's tools to keep their customers happy. So I'm not sure competing on being much lower-priced is a win here.

About 80% of our email that comes in is answered with a canned response. I would make that your number one feature to add (unless it's already in, in which case I would highlight it on the homepage).

The other thing I would consider a must-have is the ability to move a card from the "Completed" list back to the "Active" list if the customer re-responds. I think a very typical workflow for this type of system is to answer the email and then consider the case "closed" unless you hear back again from the customer, in which case you want it to be moved back onto your active list.

Finally, it's not super-important to us, but I know that reporting is big in this space as well -- knowing who is responding to what and how quickly the average email is getting answered, for example. That might be the type of thing you could sell as an add-on, where you keep track of that on your end and then allow them to access a report on your site.

Overall though it's a very neat idea. I might swing back by in a few months and see where it's at and consider it for my next project.

> The Romans were barbarians, in a sense, I suppose, just compared to Greece.

This is definitely the case. Barbarian was a greek term centered around greece; while romans managed to avoid the label most of the time, they definitely fell into the category at points, e.g. in their worship of the Lares during the Republic.

> But it turns out that Indian philosophy was heavily inspired by Greek philosophy (highly recommend The Shape of Ancient Thought for anyone interested in Greek-Indian intellectual exchange), and I wouldn't say it was better (though I wouldn't say it was worse either).

Definitely. I will say that the philosophies in the original vedic texts are possibly the oldest things we can call "philosophy", even though the more popular hindu/buddhist derived philosophies were heavily hellenized by the fall of the roman empire. I also think that development of a koan, the "simultaneous truths", would have been vehemently rejected by the greek philosophers of which I am aware. Though they still had "middle road" type thoughts, it was not based around the acceptance of two contrary truths, even though you can form such a dialectic that way. Does this match up with your understanding? Do you know of anything framing vedic-derived philosophy in greek-derived terms? I often get swamped in the details when attempting to read through the material directly; doubly so for the ridiculously archaic older texts.

> Medicine? Let's be serious: almost all medicine before the 1800's was placebo.

Not quite true; Galen was an excellent surgeon, covered basic sanitation (e.g wash the wound and then bathe it in vinegar), and was THE reference until our knowledge of anatomy improved starting around the renaissance. But in this respect, the Romans certainly dominated the greeks, and their ability to treat soldiers on the field with the "state of the art technology" was absolutely crucial for the maintenance of a standing army, especially during periods of expansion (e.g. the tail end of the republic).

However, they had lost their edge by the fall of the empire to neighboring powers. That goes for nearly everything but IIRC engineering secrets, which were simply lost.
Again. Apple is making money. Lots of it.

Having money means you can continue to keep up with the investments in technology needed to stay relevant in the mobile phone business.

And the reason people keep bringing up the profit share metric is because companies like HTC, Sony, LG were running at losses for so many years that it put in jeopardy their continued presence in the mobile phone market. And nobody wants to buy a phone that isn't supported in a year or two.
My journey toward a maintainable project structure for React/Redux
Yeah, I build a decision support product that uses an expert system/GOFAI. We parse PDFs, root around the EHR, read and analyze unstructured data, and so on. Parsing pdfs isn't that hard, unless you want to get things like EKG results, then you need to to OCR and and some analysis on the now potentially garbled text.

We have some pretty active users with great results, but doctors are super busy. Its hard to get them to use anything that isn't in their standard tool kit or tie to payments. And, that understandable when you see 14 + patients a day. Getting into the workflow if the real challenge for AI in my view.
My point with B was merely to say that if the issue is lingering economic after effects, rather than currently held racist attitudes, we should address the problem differently. The solution to a community being treated poorly because they're poor is different than a community being treated poorly because they're black.

I think of it like this: I don't want to be diagnosed sick, but if I'm sick, I want to be diagnosed. You can't treat what you can't accurately identify the cause of, in many cases.

I also think a lot of you are being uncharitable: I was involved with many of the civil rights issues before they came to mainstream awareness, and am merely frustrated with being spoken to about "facts" which are highly questionable, and usually detract from a deeper, underlying issue to draw attention to an easy-to-digest side issue.

That kind of sound-biting is insidious in that it is both a common human fault in thinking and a kind of control mechanism: it distracts us from deep, complex issues like the roles of social class and the police in the US -- which needs to be talked about, because it spans from violence to freedom and privacy to social control, and has reached dire straights -- and instead sidetracks us in the politics of race, at a time when race relations are the best they've been in hundreds of years and progressing in virtually every dimension we can measure.

As a black man once asked me, "Do you think it's coincidental we're talking about issues skin deep when we're both economic slaves?"

I don't think that there aren't race issues in the US, I don't think that there aren't issues with race and the police, but I do think that the modern movement about the two is a) likely going to go nowhere, because it's probably mostly not fresh racist attitudes and b) distracts from our deeper conversation about the role of police in the US, by making about racism, not police misconduct.
> In what situation would you watch netflix on this as opposed to your 60 inch TV?

I don't have a 60 inch TV, I do have a phone (and tend to keep a pretty recent one), so the marginal cost of Daydream over what I would have anyway vs. the marginal cost of a 60-inch TV over what I would have anyway is a pretty clear win for Daydream.
They can park their cars in their own driveways or land they own. Where's the problem?
"Washington" evidently isn't the barrier, since there are many locales in which there is no problem constructing affordable housing (hell, Houston has no zoning whatsoever). Almost all of the problematic regulations are state or local.
There is another, less obvious difference: in Python 2, if you print multiple items in parentheses, you're actually printing a tuple:

>>> print "foo", 1, 2, "bar", "baz"
foo 1 2 bar baz
>>> print("foo", 1, 2, "bar", "baz")
('foo', 1, 2, 'bar', 'baz')
>>> from __future__ import print_function
>>> print("foo", 1, 2, "bar", "baz")
foo 1 2 bar baz
Google denied they have a similar program:

For its part, Google was the most unequivocal. Spokesman Aaron Stein e-mailed: "We've never received such a request, but if we did, our response would be simple: 'no way.'"[0]

I wonder if Google could even run a program like this while keeping it secret. Yahoo had their program discovered within weeks, and public within a year. Stamos could easily have immediately gone public in a way which would have prevented him from being prosecuted - say posting a blog post about how hypothetically Yahoo would implement such a system at the governments request, forwarding this on to Bruce Scheiner, and then refusing to comment if such a "hypothetical" program actually existed.

The question should rather be one of whether another race of technology users would be inclined to optimize the world, not only for humans, but for all sentient lifeforms...

At some point those optimizations will need to account for conflict: humans want X but other beings want Y. You can't simultaneously optimize two objective functions with different maxima; some species may want to eat humans, another might want to maximize paperclips, a third is humans. Why should human preferences win out?

You can't just assert without encountering righteous resistance that owning a human is okay, for instance, because you personally happen to identify them as a separate group of humans from you. It's historically been done, but the reasoning behind it was appalling.

There are humans who find happiness in master/slave like relationships. Should these humans not exist? Should these humans not have their desires satisfied?

Your analogy to historical slavery is silly. Historical slaves did not want to be slaves, unlike these hypothetical AI.

> Red-crossing pedestrians have willingly taken the risk to be run over.

That's unlikely; usually, when pedestrians cross without a green light, it's because they've judged there to be a sufficient gap in traffic for them to cross safely, so unless the vehicle has not only failed brakes but also an accelerator stuck on full throttle (in which case it's more important for the car to attempt to forcibly halt itself as soon as possible) it's more likely that the pedestrians believed themselves to be crossing safely.

This could happen if e.g. the lights are faulty or badly designed (too short a cycle, or showing a misleading aspect), if the pedestrians are physically disabled or have an injury such that they failed to make it across during the green cycle, if they have mental health issues or dementia, or simple accident (e.g. tripping, dropping an item in the crosswalk).

I agree, I would love to see or even work on pure RL approaches in NLP. I would also like to see HMMs explored more, which I think also make a lot of sense for NLP, if you think of the problem as sequences of hidden states represented by semantic frames or other hand crafted language features producing phrases and sentences.
His point is twofold: once you get past all the zoning and other crap, you still have this problem that you can't build a very traditional type of commercial/housing because getting a loan is difficult.

Maybe in terms of marketing itself as having sway in how to interpret things. Lets call it PR.

These kind of statements show a helplessness from old thought leaders. It shows that we can't continue to explain today's world by 1929 analogies. It smells like Black Swan.

But maybe the Black Swan is just that we at some point realize, that we were cargo culting for the next gloom and doom to happen.

In general, when "you" do things in VR that you'd normally expect strong feedback for in your head, and you don't, you feel sick.

Some examples: strafing side to side (try it), going up stairs, any sort of sudden acceleration.

Vive avoids this in room scale VR since you receive the feedback since you're really doing the action.
Pixel isn't a huge annoying brick to carry around for one.
Really a matter of terminology, but there's a clear separation between underground heavy rail (all of the New York City Subway) and underground light rail. You can see this division in Boston and San Francisco. Heavy rail has much more capacity, generally has more/larger/better entryways, and has more spacious trains. It might also be faster, although that's possibly just a function of stop frequency.
Well, with such a good game behind them, I'm sure they'll find other paying work. Or maybe they can just take the whole studio and make a new game.

Trust me, I understand what you mean, but it is not the same.

I don't mean to brag, but I speak fluent Spanish, and I studied Italian, French, and Latin for four years. I never studied Portuguese, but I can read probably 50% of it and grasp about 70% of its meaning. Romanian looks a lot more like Latin, so I used to be able to spot some words in it, as well. My Latin is rusty these days, though.

The difference between Classical Latin is that word meaning is very different, even though it looks similar. You can't go from a modern Romance language and back, but you can go from Classical/Vernacular Latin forward.

Even Latin speakers would sometimes get confused which words were accusative and nominative cases in complex sentence structures. The easiest ones are genitive, ablative, and dative, but try reading literature that is long, and it starts getting complicated to parse who is doing the action to what.

Not to mention the noun declensions, which are completely nonexistent in all modern Romance languages.

Just a note, there is a possibility that the person you replied to is comfortable with circular logic about why the behavior is not controversial under the supposition that "the law is the law." This may be a semantical discussion about why it is not "retroactive" in a legally damning sense, despite the similarities of the distinct ability to civilly and criminally sanction somebody for something they did in the past. Long before representatives of the government decided that person's prior actions would fall under their jurisdiction.

> Surrendering your phone to your VR device is a hassle.

Yes, but it is cheaper than duplicating the hardware of a flagship phone in a VR device, which is basically the atlernative, given that the phone-based VR devices are using the sensors, display, and basic compute functionality (CPU/GPU/RAM, etc.) of the phone.

Eventually, the necessary hardware for acceptable VR will be cheap enough that its not worth the hassle of surrendering a phone for it, and it will be viable for the mass market as a standalone device, but right now I think -- outside of very narrow niches -- the phone-as-core VR display design makes a lot of sense.
This is a crux isn't it? Do you want an information appliance that simply works and happens to have pre-approved software choices (albeit a huge number), or a pocket general purpose computing device (with less accessory/software support, but hey you can always install custom software)?
Squad wasn't a startup, it was already an established company when KSP was being developed.
It was way more than 1/3 according to the Washington Post's database [1]. They have 258 black people shot by police in 2015 (out of 991 people total shot by police). Of those, they categorize 183 as involving "Attack in progress" (71%).

They have 63 categorized as "Other". I'm not sure what counts as "Attack in progress" because looking at those under "Other", it looks like about 40% [2] of them involve the suspect charging at officers with a knife, or threatening officers or a third party with a knife and refusing orders to drop it, or trying to run down officers with a car.

That fits in with what I've seen when I've picked a random sample at killedbypolice.net and sorted them into "justified" and "unjustified" piles. There I got something around 80-90% seemed reasonably justified, at least based on the data initially available.

Did police have to shot all these people who were threatening with knives and such? Probably not. Better training and techniques could probably have handled those situations without anyone dying or getting seriously injured.

[1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/police-shoo...

[2] Warning: I arrived at 40% by looking at around 25 of them, but it was the first 25, not a random sample of 25 out of the 63. Since they are ordered chronologically, if there is some seasonal variation in the circumstances under which people get shot by police it could affect my estimate.
Our startup, CliniCloud, is currently looking at applying deep learning on respiratory recordings obtained from auscultation using our digital connected stethoscope. We've also partnered with teaching hospitals to try and obtained labelled and "clean" data samples to try and use a semi-supervised approach for the detection of asthma and wheeze severity rating.

To be honest, even if we were to stumble across a revolutionary algorithm with 99% sensitivity and specificity, I am sceptical about the dissemination and use of such a product in medicine for at least the next decade.

That doesn't mean the engineers knew they were performing unethical behavior. A better question is: why should anyone hire someone who aided unethical behavior?

What's strange is that although doctors have been reluctant to adopt AI like MYCIN, the pace of adoption for other innovations like new surgeries, drugs, and implantable devices is actually quite rapid. So I don't think doctors reject new methods in general.

I think the hidden factor here is the business model. A new surgery makes money for a hospital, which provides a countervailing force to the caution you mention.

A new diagnosis algorithm may lose the hospital money, so what is the force that is going to push for its adoption?
