At my company we try to sell a product that solves a customers need. Some of the things we’re doing as part of the solution we chose for the customers product could be called AI. But honestly, our customers don’t really care _how_ we solve their problem. They would be happy buying magic wands if that would solve their problem.

So sibling comments mentioned that some companies struggle with selling products not technologies. I agree.

I think legal contract analysis is an area where machine learning is actually needed for core features to work.

Some products like https://www.contractstandards.com/ are beginning to appear. They need document classification, text sentence level classification, entailment, clustering are all necessary for making contract analysis easier for the user.

And these products need good domain experts to identify pain points where ml can help.

In ml as API side, one potentially valuable product suite I have seen is https://aylien.com/text-api/ . Even they are building additional products like news analysis.

But I am little sceptical on whether ml as API can scale in terms of addressing specific task-specific nuances needed for products building upon them.

That's because how cash gets rotated among the Indian masses. Your Pendalwalla and Micwalla accept cash. Your party workers, campaign workers, alcohol suppliers, biryani suppliers etc etc .. Take cash.

So please drop this 'Income tax return' bogey. Most of the political donations and spending is unaccounted. You don't pay taxes on things that don't exist on your books.
A friend of my relative who is a Sales-tax officer had tons of cash(most of it illegal) in his home. His entire night was spent calling his friends and requesting them to take a part of his cash for some time.

There are many such cases across India. Personally, I do think Demonetization was a failure but that's because shifting of goal-posts and not because it achieved nothing.

I was spotting Teslas in Oslo in mid 2018, and it was +28C.

But seriously, -10C on a winter night is what I expected, and is cold enough to seriously affect camera batteries.

I’ve been paying attention to my diet and exercise routine for a few years now and am quite happy with where I am, so I’m really not sure how relevant your comment is. I have no intention of losing weight. I’m more interested in how enjoyable this routine is, how it helps me keep an eye on my macros and how they impact training, and how much I enjoy food too.

So far I’m quite happy with it. I’m more interested in creating varied and interesting dinners, I’m still performing well with the workouts and I feel I have more time during the day as I’m not preparing and eating food so often.

Just my 2c.

I just wish we could get people as riled up about privacy as they do about Sudanese gangs or Mens Rights marches or whatever people are demonstrating about at Fed Square on a Saturday arvo.

I've even seen people marching through Chinatown here in Melbourne protesting people eating cats and dogs, which doesn't even happen in Australia (although well intentioned, I thought it was a bit racist). I see people with banners and marches protesting basically everything except privacy.

I see what you did there.
Point taken but since they rolled out around the same time, they did re-enforce each other. More pictures lead to more demand for internet, lead to internet being faster and more widely available, which lead to more pictures. Digital photographs were not the only driver of the internet's rollout, but I'm sure that they contributed.
Thanks. Great summary. Wish I'd said it so clearly.

The hard part has obviously been justifying government intervention when there's still uncertainty. Or at least, when those with vested short-term interests can make a strong case about uncertainty. I thought at one point that the insurance industry was going to make a difference, but haven't seen much about that lately.
Thanks for the link. I've seen most of these points before, I think. My impression is that this view is a fringe view within the academic community. Do you have any references to indicate that this is actually becoming an academic consensus?

To be clear: I'm all for taking the possible actions in order to slow down the global warming. Unfortunately, the best replacement we've had to coal up until now (nuclear) has been unjustly demonized by many of the same people that claim to be most concerned about global warming.

Even the worst case outcome for nuclear is better than the best case outcome for coal...
By "a price on carbon" you presumably mean "a tax on CO2", aka simultaneously making everything a little more expensive for current voters, and making government dependent on yet another sin tax? Not particularly good politics.

This was one of the few articles where I appreciated Firefox's Reader View.
The radio communications aren't interesting or novel. The UK physically moved all its (non-tower) controllers hundreds of miles as part of a consolidation exercise.

So yes, the people you're seeing in the photographs are talking to pilots over a radio, they're saying e.g. "Ok, Four Six Two, after that Piper crosses Charlie you're next for runway One Six, let us know if you're ready", because from a hundred miles away they can see where 462 and the Piper are on the airport. "Radio works at a distance" is not a news item. The virtual tower is the news.

If you look at Australia on a map, the premise of a NBN for everyone was definitely going to be difficult but I'd argue that the project hasn't failed. I have NBN at home and it works well. I think we will look back in 10 years with a much softer view on the project.
Actually this is the real solution to invasive governments.

You can trust what you own.

And ownership is not linked only to possession, as compromised systems show.

You need to own it both physically and on operation / management level so that nobody can interfere (hack / compromise) .

Owning cloud VM is ok but pushes more investment on the operation ownership than with physical systems: ie what you save on price you must reinvest in crypto layers and detection systems.

What goes on in peoples minds to believe in these things?

You can't register a hut in the property registration office since a decade without a PAN number. And builders haven't been taking cash since more than a decade now.

Looks like people build fictional theories in their minds and then go enact rogue policies which ruin many other things as side effect.
> ... should the balance ever shift too far out of their favor, they will presumably end the relationship.

This pretty much describes all relationships except those where one falls horribly ill or the ones where one sticks around despite abuse.

> They just do the nice thing, knowing that in the past the other has done the same for them. Only if there comes to be a very long period of non-reciprocation will the other party wake to the one-sidedness of the relationship and begin to reconsider.

I think this might be the case in many sugar relationships. That's why it's sometimes hard to describe them as just sex work.
Well I am not an astronomer, but the story you tell feels very similar to the how other parts of physics sometimes use weird kinds of temperatures for similar reasons.

In my field we sometimes liked to quote frequencies in Kelvins. What's and Planck-over-Boltzman between friends?

> But I agree that it's not intuitive for those familiar with it.

It's worse than that. The convention of using temperature usually arises from some such instrument-calibration where the temperature more-or-less exists, and is accurate. Then the same instrument gets used for things where temperature doesn't exist at all and sometimes doesn't even give a fair description of the energy scales. Yet people keep blithely reporting these things as temperatures.

Not necessarily. Most papers are only ever read by a few people, and even very well cited papers can contain errors which may not be corrected in public unless they significantly change the outcome (but which can make analogous proofs more difficult, as I found with a 2000-citation paper in my PhD's field (its outcome wasn't affected)).

Still, there's probably some fascinating anthropology to be had in the idea of fandom as a new form of nationality.

Australia has been on that road since it was founded. The amount of ignorance required to be a functional Australian these days is staggering - the nation was founded on totalitarian ideals ("White Australia") and has a long way to go before such evil ceases to continue having an effect on Australian culture.
I'm 24, and two years ago I think I had a full nervous breakdown over climate change. I couldn't stop thinking about it to the point that I stopped sleeping, lost 10 lbs, and almost dropped out of college.

If any train of thought leads you to this point, you have a medical problem, regardless of what you are thinking about.
Fortunately, I was able to get help and had fantastic support from my family and friends.

Today I'm off medicine and therapy. I still have bad times lasting 1 - 2 weeks, but never to the point that I can't live.

The important thing that I'm able to see now (even when my anxiety is back) is that everything that is important without climate change, is important with climate change. Even though the world is ending (I am not hopeful), I can still find love, learn new things, see the world, enjoy good food, risk my life, make money, enjoy art, and play sports. You can substitute into that list anything that brings you joy. You can also include fighting climate change in that list.
With 400 hours of video uploaded every minute [1], and an average video length of 4 minutes 20 seconds [2], we have an average of 5540 videos uploaded per minute. Assuming 5% of videos get flagged by the algorithm for possible copyright problems, and each human review takes 30 seconds (the algorithm flags a specific timestamp), you only need 415.5 employees (0.4% of current google employees) to do manual human review of every claim.

Of course google has no reason to do that. They face high potential damage from taking down too few videos, and very little damage outside of small communities for taking down too much. So they take down any match automatically and drag their feet on the dispute process instead.

> I think our economic systems are failing us, and are the real root cause.

I think so too. Just look at carbon capture and storage (CCS). It's proven and mature technology at this point, it's been done at industrial scale and for up to a decade (in the North Sea). The total operating cost is approx. $80/ton and falling for a coal powerplant, meaning that the level of CCS that's projected for the 1.5 degree scenario in 2060 (10 gigatonnes CO2 captured per year) will cost less than $0.8 trillion annually worldwide with today's technology. For comparison, the global electricity market alone, which would be using around half of that CCS capacity, was $3.1 trillion in 2015. This means you could fund all the CCS we need for less than a 13% increase in electricity prices.
I'm less optimistic than this. The 10s or 100s I was referring to would be due to events like famines, wars directly caused by climate change, hurricanes, etc.

Still, even 200million over 200 years is not a cataclysm. In fact, the reduction we've seen in global hunger over the past generation is a greater effect than that (in the opposite direction).

Which is NOT to say that 200 million deaths is not a problem! It just needs to be seen in perspective.
A hundred years ago if you wrote a diary it was a private diary unless you were involved in a crime, at which point it was read as evidence. If you wrote a letter it was a private letter unless you were involved in a crime, at which point it was read as evidence. Of course, if you were involved in d in espionage or similar large scale crimes your letters were read in transit.

You lived in a small town where everyone knew everything about you: who you talked to, what you said, what books you read and what you did to entertain yourself. If you were one of the small minority who lived in a large town you were still known in your neighborhood and had daily patterns that were easy to observe to anyone that wanted to know.

It is admirable to object to the current policies of various governments when it comes to digital privacy and liberty, but do not paint the past as some place where this privacy once existed. It is a simple fact that in your lifetime you and your peers have enjoyed a greater degree of privacy than any other cohort in the history of humanity. Demand more protection from government actions because of the commensurate growth in the scope of what governments can observe and analyze, not because of some lost blissful state of private existence you imagine an ancestor once claimed.
What a great idea, thanks for sharing! I was using another invoice program, but I like the idea of being able to offer upsells as an add-on. Also love the fact that I can get started without logging in.. a really nice way of doing things.
That idea's been around for decades. And it's never been seriously implemented. Maybe it will be, once things are horrible enough, but then it will be too late.

Imagine that you're a young couple in a 1 BR apartment in SF that you're paying $1500/month controlled rent on. You wish to move to a 3 BR apartment, so that you can have enough room to start a family, and thereby free up the 1 BR apartment you're living in. Because you're married, and your career is starting to develop, your budget has increased to allow you to spend $2500, maybe $3000 on rent. Unfortunately, market rent costs much, much more than that, so you're stuck in your cheaper $1500 apartment, even though you can theoretically afford to pay more.

Rent control hurts affordable housing because it incentivizes over-consumption of affordable housing. Without rent control, average rents would rise, but it would be easier to find apartments at the low end of the market.
Tautologies are things that are known to be true thanks to sheer logic of them.

> If you wanted to play one of those games, you had to type in the whole program by hand. Inevitably, you would get something wrong, so you would have to debug your program. By the time you got it working, you knew enough about how the program functioned to start modifying it yourself.

As someone who was there and did that I want to refute that assumption :) I have typed in many programs and there's not a lot to learn because most of them consisted of many pages of DATA lines and a small loop that loaded those machine instructions into the home computer's memory and started the program by a USR directive (please note that I made this explanation many years after the fact). I guess there are not many teenagers who are able to debug this kind of program by looking at the actual opcodes.

Sure you could learn a lot from typing in regular BASIC programs but that weren't the most interesting games as far as I remember. The most productive learning experience was interactive and exploratory programming a shown in the OP article.

If you actually look at the history of predictions about climate change, you'll find that they've been remarkably conservative. But whatever, let's just see what happens.
The lack of indexing of capital gains taxation is a far bigger factor. As it is, a would-be seller faces losing * over a third* of the paper profit above 250K, and the cost basis doesn't reflect inflation.

If you're leaving the Bay Area, you're going to a far less expensive property, plus a dozen or so counties accept transfers of Jarvis-Gann protections anyway. But the tax hit is the crippling factor.
Boyan Slat was 19 years old when he started this project. He raised over $2 mio. for this project and worked with his university to make it happen. I think he's a great role model for young people. We need more young people like him who try to find solutions for the pressing problems of the 21st century.

There are some people who dismiss the Millennials, but it's clear to see that many of them want to have a positive impact and prefer a meaningful life over hedonism.

I hope the project works out, but even if it won't work, the signal he's sending is very empowering.
When I press CTL-A on homepage, I see hidden text:

Yeah, I think Star Wars belongs more in the category of "futuristic space" than "sci-fi", really, but one can't really argue that it would influence sci-fi ship designs.
Most combat would be relatively long-range, and for that you'd like to have:

- Guided, smart missiles for punching your opponent.

- Lasers/point-defense guns for shooting enemy smart missiles.

- Lasers for putting pressure on enemy radiators.

- Some way of protecting your own radiators; be it clever ship design, large frontal shield, or mist generators.

If, somehow, you'd end up in a short-range battle (short-range meaning your enemy can't move to evade much further than 1-10x ship size without pulping the crew in time it takes your round to fly to them), you might want to add a machine gun, or possibly a howitzer shooting nuclear-tipped shells on time fuse.

A battle would be expected to last until one party manages to get a missile through (likely nuclear-tipped), or one party surrenders/disengages due to their radiators no longer being able to cope with the heat load.
I wonder what would be the failsafe on these systems? Are there redundant cameras? I would guess there will be dual fiber paths, but other than that? Or is the visual aspect just a relic and can most remote operation be done using radar/telemetry anyway?

I like composition because it's easier to create small testable component contracts.

You don't need testability or 'greenfielding' for this. 'Design by contract', as you mention, is a useful way to think about this, without attaching value judgments to composition or inheritance. Inheritance is a much stronger and therefore burdensome contract. It's much less likely bits of your model can really adhere to it. The advice to lean towards composition is a function of that - few models can meet that high bar.
