You clearly have failed to see the absolutely mindbogglingly behemoth Facebook has become behind the scenes. The amount of personalized data they have surpasses even Google's at this point. I fear for those that don't take Facebo

Interesting. So reputation would act as a mediator for decision making then? Those with greater reputation would have more influence, and theoretically this should work because reputation would be gained only when other people notice that t

They all say that they'll never roll back or retroactively make any changes. But inevitably, they always do. I thought Ethereum might have been different, but of course I had to be disappointed. The problem with blockchains is that the

That's definitely a valid consideration. I was more focusing on refuting OP's statement in implying machine learning is a black box because only a select few people are able to understand it due its complexity. I think I should ha

But that's what I mean. Machine learning as a field is enormous. There are wide variety of implementations that can be 100% derived with every step of logic being open for people to analyze. It would be no different than building any o

If I might ask, what is it exactly that you do in finance that requires you to stay informed on emerging tech/software? Is it more so just out of interest?

To be honest, if you're smart enough to be doing software engineering, then you're smart enough to learn linear algebra, statistics, and maybe a little calculus but not even really. That's all the underlying mathematical foun

You're digging too deep into things. The technicalities of what a blockchain are fundamentally semantical. Most people when referencing "the blockchain" are also implying the portion relating decentralized trustless consensus

For evolution to happen naturally on genetic level, is a process that takes millions of years. It would take a concerted effort across thousands of generations of humans to see any meaningful change. The likelihood of this happening is nil

I mean, sure cryptocurrencies would be total foobar, but so would basically every financial institution and bank in the world too. And this is assuming that neither preemptively secure there systems for post-quantum.

How large of a dataset are you looking at? I'm curious as to whether Lending Club's publicly available data will be lengthy enough to get meaningful accurate results for general 5-10 year loan predictions. Though it is nice that a

Twilio has a better consumer facing package. And it's in a really good place right now with brand name. If they leverage this well, they should be able to cement the market with enterprise just as well as they've done with smaller

Haha, way to call the guy out. You're ruining his chances at getting access to a potentially sweet sample deal!
