Ah so they have cured themselves of the virus have they? South Korea is 4 times smaller than California. And its population many times more homogeneous than any of the 50 states. New Zealand is an island nation with half the population of N

Your analogies fall short when talking about a microscopic virus. It's funny how many people underestimate this virus in terms of its ability to mutate and spread. And it's laughable that people think this can be contained with &#

The ones staying inside all day playing Cyberpunk and not moving from the couch all day? Surprise. We've turned ourselves into actual couch potatoes. Wall-E was prophetic in this regard. I would love to see this on a chart next to vide

I absolutely agree with this line of reasoning. Thank you.

I agree with PG. Twitter could've taken a stand. But as it seems now they are too mired in partisan politics and grandstanding to pay any attention to other news. I think Jack Dorsey should step down. Twitter has become a magnet for tr

Excellent breakdown. Thank you. Yes as I've said only legislation will end this tyranny. To guard this data to the point they were willing to throw Aaron Swartz in jail for 35 years is beyond reprehensible. It's simply abhorrent t

Obama failed in this regard. But Obama does not represent all dems. Nor does Obama represent Dems in 2021.

I couldn't agree more. However there are voices at the fringes getting much much louder on both sides who are definitely not the same thing.

Not all dems. We all know what we got with the Republicans last 4 years. Let's see what changed on the other side of the aisle if anything.

That's unfortunate. Good thing he's really old with not much time left. Not that I wish him harm. He's certainly better than a lot of alternatives.

I think data wants to be free. Charge for the applications not the data. Data should be free. This saves lives. I think we can all agree there are certain things that are a benefit to humanity and we should place these things over profits.

Yes there's also people who think they always know better.

Who said anything about elimination of copyright? Who said I was more aligned with 'them' ? Most scientific research is funded with grants and by universities with billion dollar endowments. They are not struggling. You should not

Hopefully with Dems in control we will see these companies punished for their bad behavior. Or at least laws passed that make the publication of research more open. The science should be funded and free. The applications of the science are

This will bring about new technology to deal with the rising threat. People don't take kindly to being constantly spied on. I imagine many will take matters into their own hands.

Just came here to say that Google's new ad layout is deliberately misleading and Google's search results are starting to look like spam all over. Who in the hell is in charge of search at Google right now? What a god awful job. Th

Does Porsche have domain expertise in launching vehicles into orbit? Do you not think that the cross pollination between Musk's ground breaking companies won't give him a competitive edge against incumbents? I don't think any

Musk is a disrupter and he is disrupting this industry turning it on its head. We've been stuck in the same boring recycled car designs and concepts for decades and here comes Elon with the promise of self driving flying cars on their

Maybe we will have more breakthroughs as these visualization techniques improve. This is truly an awesome accomplishment. Hats off to the scientists & engineers who made this happen.

Yes definitely lots of fine tuning still needs to be done for the similar titles playlist. It should be ok with most titles. I noticed that's a Netflix title so the algorithm maybe constraining the similar titles to the Netflix catalog

I haven't found enough of a need for it at this point to make the application more useful as it stands without making great effort in training the necessary models to assess user-similarity for example. It is certainly faster to build

It's a fair point. Netflix for example has a subpar catalog to choose from (maybe 5000 titles max) and of course they are pushing their own content to the top. By comparison the known movie/tv universe of global movies and tv sele
