Are e-mail providers "multiple companies which must of necessity coordinate all their activities with each other"? Sure, but when you put it that way it sounds nefarious. The underlying idea here, if I understand it correctly, is

Off the top of my head, didn't ResNet come out of MSRA?

There's a psychological principle called Diffusion of Responsibility that I think applies here. But this is my rusty memory from undergrad around a decade ago.

This is exactly how I plan on acting too. I wish I had a way to tell these companies to attribute the lack of sale they normally would have gotten, to their decision to remove the headphone jack. I'm worried they'll attribute sale

It's not about whether or not the implicit grant exists, it's that the implicit grant doesn't go far enough for Facebook's liking. What you refer to as "some constraints" is an abdication of your ability to def

There exist good licenses that extend a patent grant in a reasonable manner. Facebook went off and wrote their own version that is asymmetrical in their favor. Also, lawyers seem to agree that most OSS that don't include a patent grant

This is absolutely infuriating. Amazing how one file added to the repo can kill the project.

I think we’re about to see a whole new class of browsers and app platforms emerge in order to exchange small amounts of cryptocurrencies for incremental services on the internet. It will start with ideologues who believe in a distributed in

For what it's worth, I could not be more excited about Siacoin. I think both it and Filecoin are, along with the nascent self-sovereign identity providers, the most important projects in the tech industry right now.

Bitcoin's main product is trust, so if trust in the system decreases, the price will drop. If someone demonstrated a security flaw and began to exploit it, that would likely do it.

Many, many startups in the valley have raised on convertible notes (aka debt) first.

In that case, Sia provides an avenue for an new company with access to cheap electricity to compete with Amazon, Google, and Microsoft without investing a cent in marketing or product. They will just plug in and start receiving payments, an

This is the one I've got my eye on - once the marketplace boots up on both sides, it's going to be hard to compete against it. I suspect some day even the big providers like Amazon and Google will sell into these kinds of marketpl

Mostly because I wanted to get the (faster browsing) benefits of ad blocking, without feeling like I'm stealing from the sites I visit.

I use Brave, and there's about a half million other people who are using it too. What I guess you really mean is not that "nobody" will switch, but that "everyone" won't. So it's just a matter of market si

Advertisers will buy ads with it. Publishers will collect most of that spend. Users will get some too. The value will fluctuate but all currency does that.

You're right that it's a niche product at this point, but it's very different from 3D TV. Tesla cars are niche products too.

100% agreed. The pieces are there, someone needs to put them together. It's VR in 2009.

There was this horrible site called experts-exchange.com (note the hyphen) that dominated search results, but IIRC they made you pay to see the answers.

I don't think this makes a convincing case. Why, for example, is it wrong for a new piece of art to change the meaning of an older piece of art? To me, art should make us feel and think, and this does both.

I think the key is going to be pairing the extra human bandwidth you get from VR controllers, with these new types of generative networks that are emerging out of machine learning research. I'm playing around with this idea for my next

I completely agree with you. I think they should be lauded for allowing more on their platform! Some of the more experimental stuff turns out to be the best over time, and it's stuff that would've never been built had their store
