Thank you for visiting and testing out ACUMAN.

That is one of the purposes of ACUMAN, to gather psychometric data to build a profile on an individual.

I wear a moto 360 since October.

Almost all key functionality are completely useless, and Android wear is so poorly designed, that it gets in the way when you actually want to use the small set of useful functions.

The only thing that's relevant, to me, is the notifications. I don't mind the interruptions and usually I discard them pretty quickly on the watch when it's not relevant. In this case, vibrations are way more clever than sound or light, it's a shame that it's the only component that has been left over during the design of the watch :/ (yes, it sounds and feels like an old nokia 3310 on a wooden table)

In a perfect future, you would have a multitude of vibration patterns, sensors and strength instead of a not-working-heart-rate-sensor.
Correction: It seems that the tilt maneuver at the end is intentional[1] to not hit the barge full force if something goes wrong. Instead, the control system did not account for (all of the) lag in the propulsion system (time between command and applying force).

Public discussion of education is always hampered by the fact that people not professionals in it have no sense of how complicated it is. Some students are genuises, some are cognitively low. Some students have personality disorders. Some students will soak up everything they see. Others don't care. Some students need to be a medical treatments at various times during the week. Some pray five times a day. Some are so stoned they cannot hold a pencil. Some really only care about what they need to do in this class in order to to play basketball.

When a vendor comes in and says, "We know how to solve your problems," there is reason to be doubtful.

I'm not saying that such efforts have no promise, but there typically needs to be a long growth period during which the tools have to be adapted, sometimes radically. In this complicated a sphere, bottom-up may well work better than top-down.

From a strictly technical point of view, it is at least some form of Artificial Intelligence:

1) From the perspective of the Turing Test, it biomimics human behavior and intelligence.

2) The field of artificial intelligence deals with a computerized comprehension of data. ACUMAN is heavily dependent on machine learning, natural language processing, and text classification algorithms, which facilitate understanding. It also gathers psychometric data, which allows the machine to take its communication with a participant in context of their personality.

3) A computer able to interact with a human in a similar way that a human would with another human. ACUMAN matches this definition because it accepts and can converse in both speech input and text input, all in the english language and manifesting its "intelligence" in the form daily communication.

The project qualifies to all three of these pieces of criteria.

At least when I was at Yahoo (many years ago), there was zero apparent desire to even continue to operate in that type of service space. I guess Yahoo wants to be a media company and sell ads, not provide APIs to do nerd stuff for free.

I would look to Zapier or IFTTT instead. I haven't used Zapier, but the fact that they actually charge money (shocking!) gives me hope. Maybe they can actually build a business around it.
A french press can be cleaned simply by rinsing it out, with the occasional more thorough cleaning. Also, you can vary the grind size considerably. It's only superfine grinds that will clog the filter.

I have an aeropress, but I rarely use it. Maybe I'm just a clutz, but I always have to wipe the counter down after using an aeropress (especially with the inverted method), while a french press is pretty much mess-free. The aeropress is very fidly. That's great if you're in the mood to experiment but not so great if you just want a decent cup of coffee. I do like the results of the aeropress for making iced coffee, but generally prefer the flavor of french press coffee. Paper filters remove a lot of coffee's flavor-rich oils.

The one deal-breaker that some people have with french presses is the sludge they let through, especially when used with a low quality grinder that doesn't produce grounds of uniform size. If you can't stand sludge and have a crappy grinder you pretty much have to use something with a paper filter.

Sean Le Van:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vyACnFsNm4

Bio
"Sean Le Van is 13. He has given many professional concerts since the age of five years old, along with members of his family, The Le Van Family Musicians. He started as a singer in various styles and soon developed a passion for jazz improvisation and composition on the piano. He now embraces several musical genres, including jazz and classical.

He was a laureate winner of the 2010 American Association for the Development of the Gifted and Talented competition, which led him to perform in the “Passion of Music Festival” at Carnegie Hall, Steinway Hall, and Bechstein Hall as a classical pianist. Soon after, he was invited to perform with his family in the 3rd Vianden International Music Festival in Luxembourg under the patronage of the U.S. embassy. In jazz, he has been engaged to perform at various clubs and festivals, such as Steamers Jazz Club, the Curtis Theatre (Brea) under the patronage of Resonance Records, and the 26th Munster International Jazz Festival in France. Sean has made acclaimed solo appearances and shared the stage with vibraphonist Michel Hausser, bassist Bruce Lett, drummer Mack Gordon, pianist Llew Matthews, bassist Putter Smith, drummer Mourad Benhammou as well as jazz veteran Shep Shepherd, among others.

Sean is also a prodigy in computer programming. In his free time, he enjoys running and skateboarding, playing with his cocker, as well as reading in science, literature, philosophy, and history."

Great! Now I can get my recruiter spam directly to my email, so I don't have to open up my linkedin and see it there.

Cripes, you win. I was using "nearly killed" as a figure of speech. Guilty as charged!

But here's the rub - people don't want to put up with even a 1-in-1000 chance of getting a broken arm just from walking on the sidewalk, and they don't want to constantly be on guard against bikes zipping all over the place on what should be a relaxing walk.

It's annoying, and that's why we have things like noise ordnances even though no one ever like, dies because the neighbors are too loud.
No, you aren't "good enough to do consulting."

Skills are important, but attitude matters. If you charge $200 an hour, you have to BELIEVE that you can add $400,000 in value if they keep you around for a year.

Note that "Attitude" <> "Arrogance". You don't go in thinking "I rule and you suck; I know better than all of you." People skills are EXTREMELY important. Clients have to give you the information and the guidance you need to do a job well-- if they dislike you, they'll sabotage you in 100 small ways.

But if you don't believe, deep down, "I can walk in the door of anyone who hires me and contribute to the company on some level", then don't consult.

Snapchat may see this as "playful", and I doubt they gave it too much thought. I see it as putting their business interests before their users's privacy, and I think it's a breach of trust (however minor).

The core problem is that even if Snapchat grows up enough to put some internal restrictions in place that prevent using end user data in this way, there will always be another company that has access to the same data with no compunctions about how to use it.

I wish that societal pressure could put a stop to this sort of thing, but it seems pretty unlikely to happen. I think the only way to prevent misuse of end user data is if companies can't gather it in the first place.

I believe this still has to be approved by the Senate, right?

I'd expect that law to be distorted into a weird red tape system with virtually no power, but that will still get passed just so the politicians can say they have passed some law.

> In response, the government proposed a few hours before the vote a new amendment supposed to appease the hosting providers. If adopted, it lets them to define the separation between "metadata and content."

I'd expect most providers would say that they don't have any metadata, and that they would designate /dev/null as their black box.
> The fact that he deleted it implies they decided that wasn't the case after all, or at least wasn't the whole story.

It doesn't. That's just your impression you are placing upon the tweet. Deleting it says nothing when you are the head of multi billion dollar organisations. Perhaps he didn't want to give their competitors information that could help them model F9.

> They didn't handle media very well this launch, what with the fumbled video release and then a retracted tweet.

This is just ridiculous nitpicking. SpaceX usually gives us camera views from inside the goddamn LOX tanks on the stages. 'Didn't handle media very well' my arse.

I think the presumption is wrong; if the phenomenon is true (somewhat doubtful yet) it may be more related to the driver thinking:

2) "that cyclist doesn't seem to control his vehicle; I need to pass by a wider margin".

I think it might be beneficial for you to reconsider what is the biggest value of this service - quality or price?

The first part of your post starts with a list of problems with consultants: costly, unreliable, require "setup".

Your service seems to address the last 2 pain points. Great. You promise the customer higher quality and time-savings, which is really important.

And than suddenly you mention that "our experts are working on many projects at once" what in case of many customers will trigger the "low quality" alarm. And to make it worse, you use it as an explanation for the low price.

If you can offer a high quality and reliable service, why do you want to charge less than alternative solutions?

La Quadrature du Net has also affirmed that while they were demonstrating in front of the National Assembly, there were two IMSI Catchers. And the law wasn't even passed yet. Great example of what will happen. (http://www.franceinfo.fr/actu/politique/article/des-appareil... link in french, can provide a translation if needed)

Bernard Cazeneuve, our ministre de l'Intérieur (Tasked with internal security, i.e. police etc.) has also declared the right to private life to not be a freedom. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WODKfxtJQbE)

This law was voted by 30 delegates. From a total of 577. This is what we can expect of our National Assembly. I expected a bit more of them considering they were 40 (!) to debate it. And they were granted a whole two minutes to explain themselves. To debate a law that allows bypassing judges, installing black boxes (read: DPI tools) anywhere without needing a judge, and quite a few more fun things.

To any french reader here (or any reader in a country whose laws explicitly allow this type of mass surveilance) :

* Use LetsEncrypt to get an SSL certificate for your website (or selfsign one with the proper configuration). Not that this will matter much because this law will allow them to ask you to hand over your private keys

* Use TrueCrypt v 7.1a, the latest and audited version for you hard drive, or use LUKS if you're on Linux.

* Use TextSecure and RedPhone. While I'm not aware of any recent audits, it's a hundred times better than going through regular channels.

* Use Pidgin+OffTheRecord for your private chats.

I am so fucking mad. And have no doubts, the senate will pass this. The worst (best) that could happend to this law is a few minor changes, but the key points will stay. And I doubt our constitutional council will reject it.
