I want to buy corn from the USA and import to India, but there is no way to find and connect with corn farmers online. I've found the corn to be cheaper even after paying the custom duty in India.

Please suggest if you know any possible ways.

Asking someone to do something is not behavioural training. The sort of training you're talking about only works by repetition of the behaviour and reward interaction, and there's no evidence that Twitter will be repeating this over and over again for each user. That's just nonsense.

You can't be that smart, if you don't figure out how to bridge the "communication range". Showing that IQ is a much too narrow measurement of puzzle solving ability, not related to being smart in real world situations.
There was a fair amount of overlap in the papers. Makes the testing much easier.

Just looking at one of their sample projects "Clean cooking fuel for refugees"

It says

> Briquettes replace wood burning, a heavy polluting fuel source

> This initative is projected to provide 4,000 refugee households with clean briquettes, saving over 16,000 tons of emissions annually.

Let's do some back-of-the-envelope calculation. 16K ton per 4K refugees means 4t per person per year. I couldn't find data on briquettes efficiency vs wood but let's be generous and say it's twice as efficient. Then the emission before the reduction would be 8t per person per year.

So they are telling me that an average Uganda refugee, from cooking alone, emits almost as much as an average Brit [0]

This is cool! I wonder if you connected just one of the audio outputs to a speaker with a crossover, the system would adjust to put the whole frequency range through it?

It may also be that there's somewhere on the pcb you can tap into line level full frequency audio (or maybe not - they could easily do the filtering only in the digital domain)

One thing to keep in mind when doing this is the impedance of the speakers.

I'd measure the resistance across the IKEA ones and whatever speakers you're using first. It may be that the IKEA ones are not the common 8 ohms. If they're more (eg 16 ohms) there's a risk that an 8 ohm speaker will result in too much current through the amplifier.

Hi guys,

I want to make a platform that shows academic Life Science labs and has in-built dashboard analytics to analyze the research they had produced. It should be important for Biotech manufacturers because academia makes up to 25% of their revenues.

But people don't rush to buy service and don't reply on my emails. The data on labs is core of business. The data is a combination of self-assembled database of labs linked to available publication and patent databases for easy search.

The information about available labs was collected on webpages. Was several months of work as no automatic crawling is possible. The data is very clean. Such info can't be found anywhere else. But despite this cleaniness and efforts companies see them as leads, which you buy cheap. This is not fair. It's a clean data that shows market of labs. Biotech should care about.

Techspert.io makes AI to index experts in web. 95% of lab group leaders they don't have, because most of labs are not indexed anywhere. I've made such efforts to collect labs to show this market to companies and nobody values it.

Is it indeed not possible to have a software product that scales if amount of data (labs in my case) is ~100K worldwide, and the growth of data is around 1% (number of labs remains relatively constant). I know it works as a small side project, but can someone tell why it doesn't as a software?

Thank you.

Ish. They still have high inflation levels (which hurt the working classes), low economic activity, and struggle every day.

1. Yes, but the situation regarding type inference is only a bit worse than the situation in non-dependently-typed languages. Of course the compiler can't magically figure out what theorems you want to prove.
Hi all!

SmartIP.io is a IP Geolocation API and Threat Intelligence service which will make developers life very easy.

We expose both IP and ASN lookups with two simple endpoints, we don't segment data response by Tiers, as most of our competitors do, instead, we return the entire dataset in our responses even in the Free tier.

Our pricing structure is unbeatable as well, signing up, we allow up to 250,000 requests per month for Free! More information on https://smartip.io/#pricing-section

Why should I use a GeoLocation API

Most companies use IP Geolocation APIs to identify their users to enrich the user experience based on their location, currency or timezone.
Another use case could be identify threats and prevent frauds in time looking for Proxy connections, TOR nodes or just filtering Crawlers traffic. SmartIP.io can detect if the an IP is a proxy, TOR or even a crawler. More information on https://smartip.io/#feature-section

Why SmartIP.io

Even though the API market is full of Geolocation API already, we realised that they all offer very similar datasets, and they all tend to be really expensive very quickly, segmenting data responses by tiers and adding costs to their customers which do not cost anything to them.

Our approach aims to solve this problem exposing single endpoints which return all information with no segmentation by Tier and with a huge Free tier which allows up to 250,000 requests a month.

We are the only one to expose Crypto data. Our service can identify if a specified IP is running a Bitcoin node with additional information like the port from where the node is running from. We are in the process of expanding this dataset with additional blockchains and more data.

Our features

- Geolocation data: at the moment we are using MaxMind database, but we are in the process of building our own GeoDatabase.

- Currency data

- Timezone data

- Security data: Our service exposes Proxy data, Crawler data and TOR data.

-- Crawler data: we detect the crawler type, the crawler company

-- TOR data: we detect TOR exit node identifier, the published data and the last update date.

-- Proxy data: we detect the proxy type like "proxy anonimyzers", "proxy attackers", etc.

- Crypto data

- We are powered by Microsoft Azure.
We are 100% backed by the best cloud solution out there with no self-hosted servers. This guarantees extremely high performances and high SLA.

- Official client libraries available on Github for .NetCore, PHP and Javascript.

- Simple and intuitive Dashboard to manage your API keys and monitor your API calls.

- Once registered, we offer a huge Free Tier which allows up to 250,000 requests a month.

I'm somewhat of two minds about this.

On the one hand, it's hard to really disagree with Gruber (and his quote from Steve Jobs). Being fully respectful of privacy means being as fully, transparently, and granularly opt-in as possible--in plain English.

On the other hand, doing so will almost certainly slow progress on a voice assistant and make it less generally useful relative to other assistants that don't have such protections in place (all other things being equal). Even if some opt-in fully, it probably won't be sufficient to make up for the many who don't.

Is making everything opt-in the right tradeoff? Probably. We do it for program crash information after all and (I guess?) that's ended up being good enough. And, honestly, if voice assistants don't progress quite as quickly as they might in a privacy oblivious world, it's not the end of the world.
Thx for letting cops and other entities bust more people with your funny device.

> A large sand-exporting industry could help reduce this subsidy, which would be critical to Greenland eventually becoming independent.

I think the situation in Greenland is very interesting - and quite sad. Independence is a complete pipedream. Greenland can only be independent once its large reserves of ressources open up. - At that point, it would suddenly become interesting to imperialist states like the US, China and Russia - but it would be in no position to defend itself.

The local population of Greenland for the most part does not want to be associated with Denmark and the EU, but at the same time it is their best shot at retaining autonomy and increasing their standards of living. I really hope that in the future there will be some more forms of positive engagement.

Currently I remain skeptical, 130 pages in 7 months plus meaningful experiments is quite some going. A list of the papers (so at least the authors can defend themselves), the source code and data used (because some of these methods require social media inputs) would definitely help.

After doing so much work though, why wouldn't you go the extra small few steps to publish? That way the work can be peer reviewed and the Scientific community has a chance to learn from it.
Spoken Japanese has intonation and rhythm which make identifying word boundaries and homonyms easier.

Reading hiragana (especially without space as word boundaries) is totally different. Reading long hiragana by speaking aloud help, but there is still a problem of ha/wa and he/e.
The good news is that this is a problem that's solving itself. Kanji, especially complex kanji, are dying out in favour of katakana. An anecdotal example, as little as 20 years ago, all the fish markets had signs for each fish, in kanji. Now all of those signs are in katakana. Many young people can't read the kanji for specific fish anymore. They can probably manage tuna, but hake? Pollock?

Most written communication is typed. Which involves typing each word phonetically (and then picking the correct kanji from a list). This is orders of magnitude easier than writing a kanji by hand. You can get by without knowing stroke order or without knowing exactly how to write it. As long as you're even vaguely familiar with a kanji, you'll be able to pick the right one from the list.

Give this another generation or so, and I expect the coverage of those "777" will increase to ~100%, and the number of kana-only words will increase dramatically. National pride and linguists be damned, convenience always wins out in the end.

Well, investors sit on the board. So you sorta have to care.
We don't have trouble affording it in the UK, we have trouble with the morons in charge wanting to do it arse about face.

The smart way would be to commission half a dozen state of the art designs (the 2nd is cheaper easier than the first and so on) over a decade, the French did 15 reactors in about a decade and economies of scale and expertise make each successor simpler.

We desperately need more baseload supply to supplement on the ongoing renewables switch, the grid is is operating on the slimmest safety factor I can recall.

There are people who seem to affect the qualities, habits, and quirks of 'highly intelligent' people, yet are probably not particularly brilliant (or even above average) themselves, except perhaps in some social sense. Any thoughts on that? Can you differentiate between the two without reference to IQ? If so, how? Do these people pay the same price for their quirks, and if so, are they better able to compensate? Are they likely to be more successful at whatever they do by appropriating the trappings of intelligence? Think of it as a thought experiment.
So I assume in all those cases it was really just the sound without the header, otherwise that would have gone hilariously wrong. How come this happens again and again though? I'd assume someone who does research on how to generate that tone would also learn that it's illegal to broadcast it. Or if it's in some sfx database the channel or studio has access to, you'd assume it would have an according warning notice attached to it.
Issuing no options to a 4 year old employee can mean exactly one thing - it was not a very valuable employee that they weren't keen on retaining. That's about it.
Here's another question for you: without reference to IQ or academic achievement, what qualities would you associate with intelligence, or perceive as indicators of intelligence? Have you ever had a hard time figuring out if someone is really bright or not?
This was my feeling too.. I suspect there's enough overlap between those people who are interested in completing IQ tests, and those on the spectrum to create the same effect mentioned by the author.
I found their comment about small talk particularly reflects this; My experience is that I can't engage in it with strangers as it feels like forced dumb chat, with the end result that a lot of people I casually interact with end up treating me like I'm mentally retarded.
This hits home, being born and growing as a kid in Lyon, having played AITD on the family's 386 in 1993/4 or so, and later practiced rowing for years on the Saône river right in front of Atari's ship-shaped buildings, even giving some rowing lesson's to Atari/Infogrames team during a company event (and to Bruno Bonnel himself, who has been later into robotics and today in... politics).
The percentage of such people was, is and is going to be minuscule who care the slightest amount about peeking under the hood or truly understanding. By your logic every computer user from previous generation should know more about computers, but actually they don't.
Not really. The number of people employed in and around the coal industry in the US was pretty small by 2016. Also note, that Trump got a lot less votes that Mitt Romney in 2012, so that despite all the pandering - there wasn't some massive rush to vote for Trump.

Also, the union density in mining in the US is not as high as it used to be (don't know what the exact figures are).
Not applying intelligence on real-world aspects that will make you successful is very much non-intelligent.

Likewise, not being able to effectively communicate with a variety of people shows a lack of analysis, learning, etc.

IOW, people feeling in the situation that their "IQ" is unfairly treated should level up, by broadening their conception of intelligence and also applying it in more contexts.
I personally think it's utterly disgusting that people are allowed to operate what are essentially giant weapons in public with extremely minimal testing or training, and with minimal limits on alcohol usage. I think it's totally reasonable to ask people to give up some of the rights they'd normally have, when those people want to operate heavy machinery in public.

My understanding is that GA pilots are not allowed to fly within 8 hours of consuming any alcohol (my understanding is that most commercial outfits have more stringent limits) - I personally think this makes a lot of sense for operating a motor vehicle, too.
But isn't genetic code transcribed sequentially and in the context of previously decoded structures? So it is similar to reading a text that references parts elsewhere in the text. If you only keep the changes between multiple subtly mutated texts, then it becomes an enigma what these changes actually mean and, what's worse, the changes are now in context of nearby changes which may make create completely different meanings.
Or more likely management didn’t care whether she looked for new employment.

I’ve been through three of four of these situations and every time there is a list of positions that management deems important enough to grant options. It was always clear how not being on that list is perceived and that people might quit and some consideration was made to not risk losing some they considered important enough.

I bet it wasn’t the author’s title but the author. The COO knew who she was and didn’t think she was important enough to grant options. Saying it was because she had the wrong title seems like a coward move.

I never felt good being on or off the list or making the list. I think it’s better to award some amount to all early staff. One of the myths and legends of tech that I loved hearing as a kid was the Microsoft secretary who is not a millionaire.

Options grants like this describe the character of a company. I don’t think it’s impossible to work in an org like this, but it should be a factor in choosing to stay or choosing to join.
Now do the yield curve!

Seriously though, that was a great explanation.
I just hope this isn't like how Google basically killed off RSS when they killed off the best client that everyone was using (which I've still never heard a good reason why) which I believe played a role in the decline of everyone having a blog.

And yes I know there's some niche support still, just as FTP will live on.
Exactly. You need to be in the zone of proximate development or learning isn’t very efficient. I remember as a teen I had a fixed mindset and would get 100% on every calculus test. The problem became that I liked getting a perfect so much that ended up actively avoiding harder material and just sticking with what I was taught in school. I was afraid of posing interesting problems to my self out of fear that I wouldn’t be able to answer them.

This is a dangerous and corrosive mindset that did a lot of harm to me and other people I know. It took me maybe until 25 to actually start to accept my lack of knowledge and incompetence and start to do something with it. I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I had the emotional maturity to challenge myself at a young age instead of pursuing destructive perfectionism.
You are conflating definitions, specifically making the mistake that IQ=smart. Tabooing "IQ" and "smart" [1], we can say:

Her hypothesis is that people who have some quantified ability to solve math/logic/verbal problems, find it universally easy to communicate with people with similar ability for solving such problems, assuming you control for other factors like quantified communication ability or quantified emotional intelligence etc.

Put this way, there is no obvious internal contradiction in her hypothesis, whatever the empirical support for it might be.

Or it just disinhibits them and lowers social anxiety. It's not the most widely used social lubricant for nothing.
A common weakness (and one I sometimes share) is looking for exciting, new, and intellectually stimulating things to do, when seemingly boring, repetitive and hard work is actually called for.

A common example: startup founders who'd prefer to build new features (or worse, explore new tech stacks!) instead of the boring work of sales and marketing.
I don’t know what an “Operations Associate” is but having a junior person report directly to the COO seems like a really junior admin/help with everything/type.

It’s weird that the COO wouldn’t give options to her admin, I think.

It could also be OP overestimating her value. When I was starting out I thought that working super hard and helping everywhere was the most important thing in the world to me. It took me a while to figure out how value is created for organizations.

and there are other bugs in the implementation which further demotivates the FTP support.

To me that reads as there are bugs in Chrome's implementation of FTP.

Did you take that to mean the author intended to convey the message that the FTP protocol has bugs?
