Thanks for giving it a try. I agree that particular test does not sound like state-of-the-art. But don't judge the whole package just based on one test of one API. It'd be great to have access to these files (you can email them to

I know that there is a lot of PR around Watson but it is not just PR. There is a genuine effort to put AI-related technologies in the hands of as many developers as possible. If you want to check for yourself what we are doing, please go to

You can check and use many things that Watson does by using trying and using our cloud services: http://ibm.com/watsondevelopercloud . I know there is a lot of PR around Watson. But there are also real efforts and some state

You can actually try Watson by yourself and have your own opinion on it: https://www.ibm.com/smarterplanet/us/en/ibmwatson/developerc... . Many developers find it useful.

We at Watson view this as our primary use case. Our #1 goal is to build a platform (combining our existing cloud services that do intent identification, dialog, speech, tone & emotion identification, etc) that allow other businesses to

The first and second graphs don't seem to match the surrounding text. The Y axis is absolute count instead of popularity %. Apart from that, great article.

It would be great to get stats about exits as well. How many exits? Total valuation at exit? Median/average age at exit? etc.

How about backing these assertions with real data? Can YC show that companies are more likely to flatlines post-YC vs. while being coached? Or is that simply due to fast growth being hard to sustain? A careful statistical analysis of the gr

I meant lower competition for talent.

It's funny to see everybody overreacting and coming up with a bunch of theories. As a reminder, it happened much much worse last year (-2.9% http://www.forbes.com/sites/samanthasharf/2014/06/25/

I started a company in Pittsburgh in 2000. In 2001 we were able to hire CMU CS grads at $35K a year ($45K in today's dollars). Less than 1/2 what we would pay today.

The article does not separate VCs themselves from the investors in VC funds. The picture is even better for VCs than the actual investors. Whatever happens, they are currently collecting their 2 to 2.5% management fees. Huge valuations are

I have read the book and tried Watson food a few times. The book does not hide the fact that the Watson recipes have been curated/modified by a real Chef (the book usually tells you about the major modifications). So you could ask: how

You could say the same for Paris, Venice, Prague, etc. I feel the opposite of you: these cities fill me with a sense of beauty that no modern architecture is able to match. And their urbanism, centered around piazzas and dense walking cente
