I think there aren't many startups/smaller companies trying to tackle the problem because: 1) there's not much money in it. Email is supposed to be "free", so is security. 2) mail systems, esp at larger/older o

I agree it's not a 'silver bullet', though I don't know what you mean exactly by first phase. That's why I stopped using any trendy terms like machine learning or convolutional neural networks (which is exactly what

I worked as an analyst for an email security company. Stopping scams, malware, phishing, etc that comes through email. I liked security and had a machine learning/stat background, so I was eager to apply. What I learned was that basica

At most, it may mildly inconvenience fraudsters who commit in-person fraud. It would do nothing for scams that take place over phone, mail, or internet, which I imagine is the vast majority.

Now that's how you do content marketing! Great original research and I definitely know Thousand Eye has great BGP tools :-P

Not gonna happen because people are happy with the status quo. There's the upper echelon of SF (those who earn $300k+) who can afford to live in luxury apartments, younger tech workers (~$200k) who don't mind paying for $4000 mis

The price of the device is not at all correlated worker exploitation. Genuine apple devices cost 10x an average phone you could get in China, yet who does Foxconn produce phones for?

I work in email security and the WHOIS information we relied on to find out domains bulk-registered by spammers/phishers has essentially gone dark because of GDPR.

Let's take it easy on the author... LSTM's are cool especially when you first grok them, and stock data is the most abundant time series data out there.

For those of us who don't have a supported device, there's an android app called [Termux]( https://termux.com/ ) which provides a surprisingly linux-y experience. I sometimes code on my 10" tablet with a small

No, it doesn't, it is agnostic. There's an adapter for every major database out there. Oh, yeah, graphql also has momentum and strong adoption, unlike SPARQL.

by i_phish_cats 8y ago
SPARQL demands a certain data model (triple stores). Also, everything about it smells like ivory-tower academic snobbery + ultra-large-enterprise crap. GraphQL does neither.

The problem is that we don't know how Mongo will choose to exercise this brand new license, and how courts will rule on them. I've brought this change to our corporate counsel and they are advising we stay clear of it.

We sort of are. My company does anti-spam and email security for over half the fortune 500 with 3000+ employees. We use FOSS everywhere. We contribute absolutely nothing back afaict. We are trying to recruit people who use these open source

Well, as long as we are speaking in hyperbole, everyone needs to realize that K-12 CS education needs CS teachers, who are disproportionately not those international students who either get cushy jobs in SV or go home.

Nice anecdote. Here's another theory: American kids are being priced out of universities with good CS programs because those universities have burdensome pension programs that can only be paid by importing international students with r

Never heard of webperl... I am consistently amazed every time I hear about an ultra-complex C/C++ project being made runnable in a browser with emscripten and wasm.

Yes, I'm sure a Shenzhen technician can replace a glued down iphone battery in no time. The difference is, a 9 year can replace, say, the battery on my Oneplus 2 in about 3 minutes, with the tools that are already in every tool box (no
