The initial invention was this very quick algorithm for risk assessment. What they do really quick is a credit check, based on what they know. They may also use third party suppliers the first time (or more?) if they do not have enough data

Well, I guess the main driver is "one click buy" (tm) - that you don't have to bother with spending time on entering the credit card details, security questions, etc. You click "buy" and then you are done. Off cours

I'm perfectly happy with my Outlander PHEV as it reduced my real life fuel use to somewhere around 15%. It has a larger battery than most plugins, and my daily commute is 98% electric.

It would be nice to see the plot of looking-doing latency vs hours played per week, as well as hours per week per age cohort, And why not bin by age and hour per week? Other than that. Ouch. But on the other hand, I'm getting old enou

Isn't it so that all continous functions can be approximated with sums of sine waves too? That is also cool but without the AI connotations...

I think it more or less matches my old mechanical typewriter from early 80s. Adjacent hammers can block each other without jamming when typing too fast.

I think that one risk being a organ donor is quite the opposite: Over-treatment. It might not be in your best interest (a painless death) to be painfully cooled down by a freezer to reduce the fever that can occur after severe aneurysms - w

IF I remember correctly, the P2P patents and technology where not included in the deals, only a licence. My guess is that Microsoft sees that as reason to "align" their technology stacks. Zennström really made a number of good dea

There are some studies done in Denmark in the seventies, where small children were shown danish soft-porn movies, and a control group were shown 'Bambi' If I remember correctly, the kids where not reacting in any special way to th

I think one of the problems is that when a self-driving car do cause an accident ,it will probably do so in an obviously incompetent way. Like running into a tree that was not mapped correctly, in a way a human would never do. The cars may

Still, I think there is something fundamentally flawed with a society where 40-50 % of all men have been arrested by the police by age 23. I tried to find some comparable statistics and I found that 5-10 % of all 15-20 year old males in Swe

I think the situation is very similar in Europe. One interesting thing is that here in Sweden we have a rather large group of refugees from Somalia that have refused vaccinations because they have been rather heavily afflicted by autism. (S

Any commercial bank that is not totally useless will be able to give you access to payments, transactions and account statements. There are standards for this, for instance ISO 20022 (xml based) or older protocols used in the SWIFT network.

The ocean is huge. They didn't look in the right place initially. The area that needs to be searched may be as large as half of USA. I do not know how far debris scatters, and how fast it will sink.
