It will be exceedingly interesting to see how the relationships in the mobility space develop and evolve. And of course the details would be interesting to know (e.g. who has access to the driving data, service data, etc.). More broadly, h

Absolutely agree that there is not fierce competition in ISPs and that when they do compete it is more on price and speed than privacy so really no market driven factors to protect privacy. Of course I could offer a specious argument that t

I'm familiar with these arguments but find them wanting. Trying to avoid Google and Facebook online is very difficult even for a knowledgeable, tech literate consumer. These companies collect data nearly relentlessly from non google&

These rules are/were certainly a step in the right direction for the protection of consumer privacy and should be saved; the attention on consumer privacy is welcome. What's fascinating is that other online privacy areas that I wo

It actually sounds like Keras as we know it will continue to exist and support both Theano and TF. Theano support will continue for as long as Keras exists. This integration changes nothing for existing Keras users, only for TF users. - ht

How about this from none less than Senator Feinstein of California. She also happens to have been the head of the senate intelligence committee which is supposed to hold the intelligence departments accountable. They (CIA, NSA, FBI, etc.)

Several interesting ideas to ponder due to the RethinkDB shutdown. 1. Business model / strategy is as important as the technology. Way too many people believe that all they need to do is build a great product (by all accounts it seems

The fee for service model prevalent in healthcare today is certainly one reason. However there is a general mistrust of algorithms. Here's a paper that documents what hey call Algorithm Aversion: http://papers.ssrn.com&#x

Very good point. Even if this particular study isn't a "breakthrough" it is likely a matter of time before AI / Deep Learning (what term am I supposed to use?) is able to better interpret visual data than a human. The

Likely a good move for Intel to get in on one of the faster growing areas of computing. Let's the compete with the GPU folks and offer something to the cloud players eventually (a la Tensor Processing Unit). Nice to see the competiti

Interesting track for Slack to take. Curious about a couple of things in case anyone from Slack is listening: 1. Why not use OpenID Connect ( http://openid.net/connect/ ) on top of OAuth? 2. How does this compare to Okt

Completely agree on both side. I'm amazed at how little folks (technical and non-technical) looking to start a business ignore basic strategy questions or seek to understand their market, the competition, and a model for profitability

True that the password reset and the "login" using this proposal travel the same path and present the same attack vector but there is some disadvantage to the frequency in which the "login" system would travel down this

I would tend to agree. In this whole episode I don't think either Google or the user are "at fault." I think its an unfortunate misunderstanding. A powerful tool accidentally misused. It does make me think that perhaps aut

I wonder if this is a good reason to NOT use your email provider as your authentication (OAuth) provider?

I too, am in the camp that would like to see open alternatives to the proprietary SSO function. To me this is much more than just a technology problem, however. It's a two sided market creation problem. Email providers don't hav

While I agree that dealing with lost/defunct email addresses and thus accounts can be a challenge there may be other solutions to these (e.g. SMS confirmation, backup pass phrases). In any case it seems we're letting the perfect

This article is both simplistic and disingenuous for two primary reasons: 1. Equates all advertising with invasive data collection. 2. Suggests that improving individual's control over their data is worse than not improving it, or w

I'm curious if data privacy & protection will ever emerge from its little corner where a few passionate folks worry about it while the masses blithely ignore how their personal data is used and abused. Couple of other related items
