I worked at TCI prior to the certification of Docsis 1.0. Back then if you wanted to go from 512k to 1M we would "roll a truck" because we needed to check that your signal was good enough that you would not only get service, but t

You don't seem to want to have a discussion. So this is my last comment. It was given all the possible traits. It didn't find a new category it had a collection of things with known traits. Google knew it would be able to find cat

AI is limited more by language than anything else. NLP which I do a lot of work on at http://plexinlp.com goes a long way, but the computer doesn't have the ability to get metaphors, or sarcasm, or have any sort of "BS

Multiple points: 1. Why are people happy about this? They did a crowd funding round taking common people's money, gave them squat, then took Investor money and gave them a share. (Would make me mad if I was part of the crowd) 2. What
