I live in São Paulo, one of the greatest cities in the world and here the maps are shit. In London where I was Friday it's also shit. Both are not your average small German town. For driving directions it's basically TomTom. You're not inte

Just to give a heads up, the guy was in fact detained. This is shit and I wish this judge to go to hell.

Yes, the Brazilian legal system is based on civil law and the US one is based on common law, they work differently for example. This is not the first decision against Google in this election and will probably result in nothing for Google an

Ben Rockwood has his blog since forever, he is a serious author, I doubt it was just for clicks.

I generally just ask friends, I spent 4 years in academia after getting my PhD in applied mathematics, I used to work with equations from magnetohydrodynamics. I got a couple of friends in academia in fields as diverse as oncology, economic

Not exactly a security guy (I'm actually a mathematician/statistician not exactly a computer engineer) how do these compare in security terms to sandboxing applications or using lxc from the linux kernel? As far as I remember you could use

Nothing besides of polished systems and good hardware. But I do not like the type of signal this can show to the tech companies around the world: that their patents of new tech that are life changing for everyone are worth less than a pinch

Don't you know how to argue without doing this type of argumentation that you so commonly uses in Apple versus Android threads? I am not a Apple or Android fan to argue how the US patent system sucks, or how Android sucks, or how Apple is e

The "market" that economists say about is their model of what they believe a market is, it's a mathematical model with a good amount of gaps, this is why you will always find economists disagreeing among them, it's not like physics because

It was not answered, I would like if people discussed this here, for example, if patents begins to be awarded massively on design would we have design patents trolls after some time? For example people registering elements of common use as

It's a good point, but if it's easy to copy how can we solve this problem?

I think the PC won because it was cheaper and came to have better applications later not because MS copied some GUI elements.

Good, I stand corrected, anyway look for a lawyer, he will give you proper recommendations on what to do next.

Just to give some context. RedeConv is a electronic payment company, it does not offer any credit from what I saw like Visa does, electronic payment is a market that only recently the Visa brand began exploring in Brazil, offering prepaid c

Depends, on Rio and São Paulo every low class have a credit card today and Visa is really big in these two towns, maybe they are smaller elsewhere in Brazil but I don't believe that's the case.

A fair point, but as a statistician your case is what we use to call hasty generalization, it's a logical fallacy if you cannot argue about it from the data. If it is unsustainable you just to show that it appears to be the case. There's da

Fair, people also were dying in India in the 60s and 90% of the population lived on less food than they needed every day (according to Amartya Sen), Ehrlich said it would get worse with famines because of lack of resources and hundred of mi

Your entire view in this thread sounds very Ehrlichian to me. Just to explain, Paul R. Ehrlich was wrong when he predicted hundreds of millions of Indians would die because of famines and people still ask questions to him about this just to

In my experience I think notation would not make the life of a student much easier if you're learning things at the level Terry Tao writes in his blog, he's not writing college level math for engineers (ie. Calculus, LinAlg, Basic Fourier A

After all it would be so nice if Microsoft patented kernel low level algorithms and we would not be able to run these cheap Linux servers in the US. Or if IBM patented them first in which case MS and Apple would not even exists, long live s

Korea was once a part of the Japanese empire and according to older members of the Korean community in São Paulo* the Japanese governor outlawed Korean martial arts and promoted Kendo and Judo at schools. Korean Kendo is known a Kumdo. Kore

Machine learning algorithms, at least the ones that I used, needs convex optimization to fully understand them which needs real analysis which is just calculus with more mathematical rigor.

Maybe it has something to do with cost overrun that professor Bent Flyvbjerg researches. Basically he says that budget estimations are prone to a cognitive fallacy by those with planning powers. EDIT: added "estimations"

Maybe they perceived they could win more money by selling the assets the company, one of Sparrow guys came from Apple and Amazon so I really think this was the case, or maybe they perceived that at some point in the future a single software

Yes, I am serious, and I am not disagreeing with your point, which as I wrote about in a comment bellow was clarified in your first response to me in this thread, I actually do agree about your last three paragraphs. It appears however that

I don't think it's absurd, I only think initially that it was wishful thinking, now I see that it was only a poor example to a good idea that he explained later. Yes intelligence has to do with heritability, there was initially an animal wi
