Ah yes, I haven't added touch support yet. I'll get to it!

Thank you for your insight. Very useful!

A more prominent, colorful "free!" label? Most definitely a good idea. Thank you!

How would you expect that useful feedback to be implemented? The self-rating system currently in place in meant as a guide for the spaced repetition system. If you give yourself unrealistic ratings, it will only result in a less optimized l

Thank you! I will investigate mailing campaigns.

Thank you! So, are you suggesting to send any new visitor to a landing page describing the site's features, with a focus on the practice engine?

Usage: I have a very restricted core of regular users. Most new users quit after a few days or a week (I suppose the app did not deliver on the reason why they joined the website in the first place?). When contacted, these users basically n

I have a pretty high churn rate, so I've recently been rolling new features to try to stay afloat. User feedback is positive, but the usage stats aren't. Any insight as to what I could be doing wrong?

If anything it could be a sign that the US trial was flawed, because believe me, the Japanese don't particularly like (or benefit from the success of) Korean companies.

I'm in Tokyo and I got stopped twice by police officers wanting to check my bike, on a 3 month period (I do 2 rides of 30 mins a day). For basically no reason (other than being a foreigner in a country where the police is racist?)

Surely the phone is going to be radiation-shielded inside the satellite. I see no critical contraction here...

Reverse linkbait, let's hope that's not the new PR trend.

Pompous dick-head spotted. Besides, talk of IP is not welcome on the part of somebody who embeds infringing material on their page.

You raise a very interesting point. But I'm under the feeling that reality is much more complex: access to more information can as well inhibit creativity as it can inspire new discoveries. I can't say I fully the relationship between the c

How is throwing more (truly intelligent) computers at the problem any different than throwing more human brains at it? It's not just computing power that had been exploding, it is also the number of people trying to crack the nut of AI (for

I am in fact refusing to argue in the realm of opinion, and that is why I am proposing a valid mathematical model to support my hypothesis. But I suppose you did not read past the title? Sorry for hurting your faith in the Singularity...

And quantum mechanics could not have been thought up without newtonian mechanics...

Indeed. However, a number of researchers have had arguably more impact that he did on NN research (such as LeCun), and these people are completely unheard of outside of the NN community. I can't imagine Kurzweil becoming the media star that

If the Singularity is defined as intelligence explosion following the creation of strong AI, and if intelligence explosion is impossible, then the Singularity is not coming, even in the far future. Progress will just carry on linearly.

While I agree with you that the rate of paradigm shift increases over time, I argue that their average impact/scope decreases. Newtonian physics opened more room for technological progress than quantum mechanics, etc. Earliest inventions ha

Very unlikely to have been bots from FB, they're not yet quite that desperate. They would be 90% sure of getting busted, and it would be a huge deal breaker for a lot of their clients. A suicide move. The more plausible reality is that ther

Twitter seems to be quite dominant overall in Asia, possibly for cultural reasons (Facebook is such a western-thought design). In Japan for instance Twitter took off long before Facebook did, and is still much bigger today.

Integrating virtual objects into the environment of the wearer is far beyond what Google Glass will be able to do when it gets released. This kind of AR is not yet a well solved problem for complex images with a static background, and it ge

I would be curious to know what makes you think that technological progress is happening because of competition. It might as well be despite competition, I see no rational way of telling for sure, as there are too many interdependent fa

Even in math, a line goes through two distinct points. You can't define a line with just a single point. And a segment is a piece of a line with a measurable length . So, in English or in Math, the answer is no.
