>> I think the issue is there is something fundamental and sophisticated about human language which our current deep learning models, with all their omniscient benevolence ( or whatever ), are missing. There's something deep about the structure of language that we are not modelling yet in deep learning as far as I've seen.

I think the secret sauce that's missing from deep learning -as well as any other kind of statistical language model- is a representation of the context outside language itself.

What I mean is, when we humans [1] communicate using language, the language we generate (and recognise) does not carry all of the information that we want to convey. A lot of the meaning in our utterances ...is not in our utterances.

We haven't really found any way to represent this (dare I say) deep context yet. In genearl, in NLP, even the word "context" means the context of a token, in other words the tokens around it. Even mighty word vectors work that way.

The problem is of course that its very hard to even find data to train on, if you want to model that context with some machine learning algorithm. How do you represent everything that a person might know about the world, when they speak or write something?

But- without that deep context, any utterance is just random noise, even if it's structurally correct. So we're left with a bunch of techniques that are damn good at modelling structure, but with meaning, we fail.

I know a bunch of sites has this feature already but I'm pretty excited to try it out since eBay is probably the website with the best dataset. I do not think any other site has as many home taken pictures as eBay. This would definitely make the image recognition much more robust. I'm guessing the problem with Amazon or TaoBao is that most of the pictures are studio pictures and does not scale well when a person takes a picture in a random environment.

That being said though, the eBay buying and selling experience is a hit or miss. It sucks how there is group of people preying on the site to rip people off. I had an selling experience so bad that I vouched never to sell anything via eBay anymore. Craiglist tends to be a much better transaction.
A very effective tactic of the right wing.
The core issue is real estate as investment regardless of where it's coming from. Right now the most visible are overseas Chinese people with money buying property, but REITs have been picking up rental property for ages, and there are also PEREs (private equity real estate firms).

If governments are to serve their people, then they should curtail this speculation. Of course in America, corporations are people.

> It's like the whole thing with Catholic priests being pedophiles. Non-Catholic priests aren't forced to marry, and yet they are far less likely to become pedophiles.

While in many respects the response of the Catholic heirarchy to sexual abuse of minors by priests was beyond appalling and inexcusable, the incidence of such abuse (or accusations of such abuse) from every comparison I've seen was similar to other religions groups, schools, and youth organizations like scouting.

There’s an incredibly big market here, with customers ranging from social media analytics companies to investment firms.

I believe they attributed this to MAU/DAU of Digits[0] who are not otherwise MAU/DAU of Twitter. Ostensibly, users who use Digits to sign into 3rd-party apps ride in the same DB as bona fide Twitter users, and they just didn't discount them.

>Monsanto — and farmers who want to use dicamba — have been fighting back. In Arkansas, where state regulators proposed a ban on dicamba during the growing season next year, Monsanto recently sued the regulators, arguing that the ban was based on "unsubstantiated theories regarding product volatility that are contradicted by science."

Meanwhile in Europe, countries are considering signing free trade agreements with Canada and US (CETA and TTIP). How would anyone in their right mind want to open up the door to allowing companies to sue governments? (if you wonder, this is part of these trade deals and the kind of attitude Monsanto is putting here is exactly what they could reproduce once their products are "threatened by regulations")

Yet, only the far left are fighting this in bigger European countries. I'm not sure people grasp the implications! I'm not politically aligned with the far left but this is clearly a loss of sovereignty against the power or money. Kind of gets me wondering what the point of voting would become...

Ok, maybe I'm a little left leaning (in European terms that is)
But Im not wrong. Twitter was in dire straits a year ago. Saved by a reality show presidential candidate and might have their first profitable moment after 10 years of existence.

Twitter is easily overstaffed by looking at what they have produced over the years. Even if you shaved the bottom 25% of employees they could still be operational and extremely profitable. They are a public company, growth is stagnant, and expenses are extraordinary. It's not rocket science even for someone with sheer arrogance and zero experience running a large corporation.

Gnip used to do this. But twitter purchased them and now runs the product. This is still a thing.
That's pretty cool they spent a bunch of money on AI to save themselves a copy and paste from the template library to the prototype rendering system.

And the whole Buzz Ricksons bomber jacket bit from Pattern Recognition goes down the same road.

The makers of the Rickson's have exaggerated this, but only very slightly, and done a hundred other things, tiny things, as well, so that their product has become, in some very Japanese way, the result of an act of worship. It is an imitation more real somehow than that which it emulates.

Something definitely caught Gibson's eye about Japan and imitative fashion, though I don't have the first-hand experience to see how accurate his take is. It definitely describes a trait I've seen in other replicas and exports, though; Japanese whiskey is an obvious example.

Not sure to what extent keeping up with the Joneses is a factor here (or indeed which party is the one trying to keep up), but Apple recently moved to a userspace/in-process TCP/IP stack in iOS 11 (and in the corresponding watchOS and tvOS versions).

Seeing that this is for fuchsia makes that seem relevant.
For the payments layer, yes, but not for storing the actual marketplace data. Blockchains aren't great for storing data apart from maintaining a transaction ledger.

When we started building OpenBazaar we specifically avoided using a blockchain apart from Bitcoin for payments. It was the right call I think. There are plenty of other decentralization tools to use apart from blockchains, like IPFS, which OpenBazaar 2.0 is built on top of.

I'm not sure what it means to be 'swept' into a river.. they would need to purposefully swim upstream. They might do that or they might not. Salmon live out in the sea and when they are ready (I think) follow the scents of the river of their birth to spawn. I presume that these don't actually have an impression of the scent so won't be heading anywhere. In fact, the article says they are having trouble feeding in the wild, so those that have swum 250 miles have mostly done so on empty stomachs..

because of all this I think the chance of them establishing a life is slim (but of course, there were a lot of them)
I can agree that when you have clearly defined business goals its easier to spit out a product. And I'm not arguing that you could make something similar to Screenhero in a year -- the hard part would be to distinguish it from the thousands of others. You could find examples with some Googling (remote desktop software, screen sharing software): GoToMeeting, Join.me, LogMeIn/Hamachi, RealVNC, not to mention built in RDC in Windows, etc. Those are just the famous/obvious ones. If you kept digging, I'm sure you could easily find hundreds if not thousands of similar solutions.

I understand they're slightly different from one another, and I suppose its possible all the commenters here went through each and every one of these options and found nothing useable but it seems unlikely to me, and similarly unlikely the +1 one would make in this pool would be any sort of revolutionary "game changer" VCs would mob onto. The space seems well-established or dare I say it "saturated".
To expand slightly, a single read from memory that's not cached and actually has to go to RAM can take 100 cycles. That's 100 cycles during which your CPU does nothing but wait for electrical signals to travel to and from RAM. Well written data processing programs (game engines, physics simulations &c) strive to structure their data so they have as few of those as possible. If you just read "Design Patterns" and wrote a beautiful 10-level deep class hierarchy in Java, where every object access can be behind something like 3 levels of indirection via pointers.

This is not a critique against either Design Patterns or Java, both of them are important and useful. And really, quite often you don't care about waiting 100 cycles, you have ten million times 100 cycles in every second. It's when you start crunching numbers in large quantities that it can get problematic. Modern CPUs are very fast, but only if you feed them data in the right order. Otherwise you're basically running on a machine from 20 years ago, just with 32GB of RAM. Best program design right now is to yes, do write your deep class hierarchies and whatnot, but also know how to identify the parts of your program doing heavy computation and how to restructure those so you can unleash the full power of a modern processor.

Running your farm without Monsanto seed. That's the point. Farming without Monsanto seed today is a death sentence.
I remember seeing a documentary film about this. I think it was called, "The Future of Food" and it documented pretty well Monsanto's MO to go after farmers who aren't using their seeds. Farmer's who don't use their seeds are sued for patent infringement if a neighbors seeds blow onto their land and they find out about it.

Monsanto is a modern day Mafia cartel, it's insane.

The "work" for "no pay" part. That's always exploitation, no matter how you try and justify it.
So pointing out the API versioning scheme was disingenuous. It's as good as any other scheme and is probably necessary for backwards compatibility... it just seems old. I'll divide my short feedback into three categories:

API Features that I feel should be there but aren't:

- CRUD operations for Copilot

- Bulk operations for SMS/MMS - seriously one request per?

- CRUD operations and better access for logging and billing in general. The UI does not suffice.

User Interface:

- You did a huge redesign ~2 years ago that was frankly underwhelming. It added some SPA like functionality splattered through out the site, and many of the operations, like adding numbers to a Twilio Copilot service, became slow and buggy.

- Good artists copy and great artists steal. SaaS products at GCP, AWS, Stripe, aren't necessarily perfect but can all be drawn from to create a better product. I honestly feel like most of the innovation at Twilio clocked out ~4 years ago and now its just maintenance work and annual reboots. Though this project shows innovation its far away from the core concerns of customers. We know how to use the platform already...

Generic:

- Better documentation

- More transparency for how carriers handle SMS once Twilio passes it off

- More transparent pricing. I.e. if I send a 1600 character text I'm getting billed ~10 times or whatever - not great.

EDIT: Finally because Twilio is a billion dollar business I hold it to a much higher standard then I did ~5 years ago. I don't mean to discourage hardworking employees who mean well, just as a former employee of a not insignificant customer I have some residual entitlement and frustrations.
Yes - this was the point I was making in the last sentence of my comment. People writing things like emulators think about "reverse engineering" and take clean-room precautions. People writing things like spreadsheets think about "what does the competitor product do" and "competitive analysis" and type things into competing products and observe the output, which by my reading would be an EULA breach as well.
The point is that the landlord becomes wealthier through improvements to the area, for which s/he is not responsible. i.e. they are capturing public investment.

Put concretely, my taxes go towards upgrading the Overground Line which improves the area I live in which increases my rent. I have paid for this improvement twice, my landlord, zero times (their get back their taxes through uplift in property value).

Solution - as others have pointed out - is Land Value Tax.
That site says 23andme stopped providing health information, but they clearly still offer the service. Are they not able to use the results from 23andme if it is recent?

We saw this before with Japan, it didn't end well.

If you think the states property markets are crazy, well, the Chinese ones are crazier by an order of magnitude. It's no wonder that many wealthy Chinese see the states (or other countries) as a safer bet. The upside is that rents in china are still reasonable (so that 7 million yuan apartment is only renting for 10k RMB/month).

However, the same was true with Japan, and when their asset bubble crashed, it took many foreign markets with it (taking about a decade to recover, heck, even California, especially California, suffered).

Thanks for the links! I'll check out your side project :)

Using Google's URL shortener, or any other public one, generally means you don't get to choose the link keyword because they share a global namespace.

You wouldn't be able to get goo.gl/team, for instance, but you can with Goat - the namespace is private. This means you can easily create memorable short links like ga.tc/team instead of goo.gl/ql1k23.
I wouldn't say any of the BASIC programs I wrote at age 11 were world changing.

They changed your world, because they got you into programming, and how cool and complicated and frustrating and wonderful that can be an activity.

So don't underestimate that aspect.
In my experience, using them for pollen, buy the largest ones and you can run it at the lowest level so that it's quiet and the filter lasts the longest.

I've had the Kenmore-branded version of the Whirlpool Whispure AP51030K. I see some suggestion that the newer ones since they sent production overseas are a bit lesser quality, but the price is certainly less than I paid a decade+ ago. Nice feature is that there is a separate replaceable pre-filter for dust.

3M used to make some, but discontinued them. I have a couple of those.

Honeywell also makes some decent ones, though I haven't used them personally.

Unfortunately I've not seen anyone making a HEPA filter that uses standard-sized furnace filters, which is unfortunate because the better versions of furnace filters (e.g. 3M filtrete "purple") are about equivalent to HEPA filters and usually cheaper. The discontinued 3M air purifiers used a different size, I suspect to keep up a razor-blade business model :/

On the other hand, if you have forced air heat/ac (I do not) and if you use the better furnace filters you might be fine just running that (including a fan-only mode if possible).

Fun fact: Rabbits eat their fecal pellets (they have soft and hard poops, pellets are the hard ones). Those are filled with half digested plant matter. Since they are exposed to bacteria during the first digestion, those fecal pellets are full of vitamins. B12 is one of them. They often eat those dried pellets directly from their fur as breakfast to get the energy to start the day.

I worked for a very large company that started rolling out cucumber. It didn't go anywhere - Product owners simply did not have the technical ability to write cucumber tests.

I think that they add way too much complexity. It doesn't make sense to try to write technical software tests at such a high level of abstraction.

When you try to test something at a really high level along the lines of "As a user, when I click on X, I want Y to happen" the low level technical ramifications of this can be enormous.

There is a huge amount of underlying complexity which the one-line sentence simply cannot capture and which is prone to change and needs to be tested separately... Probably not in a way that a non-technical manager would understand unfortunately.

Ultimately the tests are not granular enough to be useful as tests for developers and they have too much overhead to be useful as documentation for non managers.
