Churn is triggered by outages and other bad emotional experiences. It's rarely fully rational. There's a revenge drive involved. In this case, it seems to be pointed against the whole class of incumbent, traditional operators. Mov

Is there a quota on that ? If not, I predict this will follow the same pattern it took in Western Europe, where low-cost of labor Eastern Europe companies are slowly taking over long distance trucking. The limiter of the rate of change is t

Before conducting controlled experiments (which can verify causality) it's usual to conduct compared studies, which find the experimental factor occuring in a population and study its outcome. It's enough to establish correlation,

If the purpose is carbon sequestration, you'll have to include the cost of storing that wood. Indefinitely. Won't be cheap.

I'm glad to see this evolution become true. It's such a trope in SF literature that it's been the plot trigger of the latest Andy Weir novel, Artemis.

That should be easy to test, given that cloudflare hosts a top-level AMP cache. Just check if a cloudflare-cached website gets the bolt.

This system developped by Japanese researchers precedes this and seems to have better results: https://news.developer.nvidia.com/automatic-object-removal-a... MIT Media Lab has much better PR, of course.

GDPR restrictions do not apply to government activity, only to private non-personal ones.

Given the FDA and similar regulators exist, that's patently false.

Waiting for a MF digital sensor that uploads the pic to a smarthphone. That would be instagramming in style.

Regarding multi-spectral images, there was a recent Kaggle competition classifying ship-or-iceberg from radar multiple band data. So yeah, CNNs work well for that too. https://www.kaggle.com/c/statoil-iceberg-classifier

For electric pickups, I'm sure we'll see range extenders packs that you carry around in your truck bed. They could even implement what that Israeli EV startup wanted to do, quick charge by physically swapping the pack. If enough c

Because most models are trained from files, which store in RGB. Using raw sensor format would make sense for inference, but if your model is created for RGB, why bother.

That was the original reasoning for the 3 (now 12) mile territorial water limit, which was how far coastal artillery of the time could reach. The US lobbied for extending this repeatedly, and applies a de facto larger limit to the continent

Treating the recruited agents as disposable has been the rule rather than the exception throughout the ages. The average half-life of an clandestine agent is surprisingly low, and planned for accordingly.

Unfortunately, the rules meant to preserve the Haussmanian parts beloved by tourists are applied uniformly throughout the city, even in those neighborhoods without tourists which you mention. There were deviations from the rules throughout

This could very well be an electricity like situation. If you have a factory moving on a pre-electricity prime-mover (probably a coal engine) and distribution system (probably axes and belts everywhere) and some one comes and pitches you el

Are there any succesful examples of digital transformation ? I know digital transformation is the thing to do if you're in strategy or management consulting, so I hope to get some input from practitioners, or anyone who witnessed one.

Without a non-linear activation function, it wouldn't be an ANN, because multiple linear layers are equivalent to a single layer applying the composition of their transforms. The article gives no clue about this part. I have no idea if

I am not affiliated with fast.ai in any way, I just went through the MOOC and read their writing in all its forms - papers, blog posts. Yes, I like what they're doing a lot.

This is another good result of applying transfer learning to NLP. Transfer learning works great for vision problems (just reuse one of the big SoTA trained on ImageNet networks - I like resnet50). This was enabled by the amazingly shared st
