This reminds me of when my health insurer, Anthem, refused to cover a test performed during annual screening. Once I called them, waited patiently on hold, then read them a portion of their own document "Preventive care services covere

I suspect that'd be much much harder - there's not that much variation between the shapes.

I view this not as a problem with CNN, but a problem with researchers picking the wrong tools. I've witnessed this behavior at large orgs and startups alike. Taking a model or approach, and feeding it input it's not designed for,

It's all about knowing what tools to use. The examples used in the article (in some cases the objects were identical; sometimes they were the same but with one object rotated in relation to the other) are solved very easily with OpenCV

1. the VC invested heavily in crypto early on; need a "popular" use case badly 2. CryptoKitties went viral, slowing ETH transactions to a crawl and making top headlines - what if that can be repeated? 3. as someone said, 12M is no

Considering the sheer computing (hashing) power they command internally (mining operations) as well as externally (specialized devices like Antminer), it's more likely that they are in control.

As for what TV people have been doing - YES. No matter what anybody says, the Internet just isn't well suited for massive live streaming events. That's what television is for!

You comment mentions two types of latency: 1. network latency, in milliseconds, that affects stream quality and stability 2. the delay (lag) between real-time capture and what the end user is seeing; this one is usually measured in seconds.

Yes, but at a huge premium to the hash power one could generate with a DIY consumer GPU rig. Crypto mining with these would be like shopping at Home Depot on a Ferrari.
