Sorry, thought you meant multiple programming language support. Yes, definitely ran into some font issues and noise turning '1' into 'L' or 'T', etc. As people have been saying though, it may not be great out o

I've used Tessarect with Tess4J Java wrappers, which has been pretty good.

Never said blowing people up, I said blowing the systems up. You don't have to convince me that there are serious systemic issues in this country. However, existing systems have done a lot of good, and need consistent improvements, not

No chance of success? They are by no means perfect, but millions of people in the US alone benefit from our decaying hulks of existing systems. Sure, an ideal system can help millions more or help those millions more, but blowing them up an

Sure but the anarchism of blowing up existing systems in hopes of great ones hurts a ton of people in the process with marginal likelihoods of success

Didn't realize that was part of it. But yea, creating a dummy gmail address and only use it for Pokemon Go seems extremely easy to do and not get caught.

Evolutionary consumer electronics. The infrastructure and ecosystem they already had in place was easily adapted to manufacturing the watches. I really can't see a marginally better car ever being worth the gigantic entry cost to the m

by pgodzin 10y ago
Agreed. But building a smart watch isn't that much different than building an iPhone. It's quite a jump to car manufacturer.

Hard to compare a 100 year old industry with dozens of entrenched companies (many intended for the luxury end of the market) and a medium that was just getting off the ground with the high point being a "decent phone"
402.
by pgodzin 10y ago
What's the point of that? Why would Apple want to make such a huge bet on an industry they have never been in just to create an incremental improvement on cars already billed as luxury items? If they proceed with the Apple Car, I would

Definitely, but to me it seems like Google was responsible for jumping on it and taking it from university research projects to a viable "moonshot." So it's much less waiting for a moonshot - they already have it - more just

by pgodzin 10y ago
The self-driving car project that came from Google X sparked the huge investment in autonomous vehicles, and gave Google a huge head start. In addition, they positioned themselves well with a large investment in Uber. The moonshot has succe

The responses aren't preset, they learn how you respond to certain scenarios. Not everyone is going to have the same choices, it just makes your generic response easier to send.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree here. Your argument is totally valid economically, but I'm arguing the morality of it. I certainly don't think all companies and consumers should be providing every surplus dollar to he

Yes, the company that actively prevents people from obtaining life-saving medicine for billions extra in profit is more reprehensible than the company that makes no pretenses about having anything to do with life and death. Creating the cur

Hope you're trolling, but speeding up the process for the most vulnerable in our society is extremely inhumane

Or Gilead is exploiting dying people desperate to save their lives and have enough money to do so, while letting the rest die. And then I'm sure they are lobbying the government to make sure it won't do anything about it. Meanwhil

So it literally means all data in which the person is the key of the data row?

by pgodzin 11y ago
Would this actually be considered "personal data" in the EU? Obviously things like name, age, gender, etc are personal data, but a rating derived from only in-app judgements by other people and only relevant in-app? That makes it

Love Norm but not really relevant here. Twitter is going to have a live video stream of the game, not a feed of tweets. Different format.

Sure, and we'll always have guys more interested in CS than girls because of how girls and boys are traditionally brought up. I think the gender problem comes from women who are discouraged by sexism when they are already interested in

Over/under-representation doesn't imply racism. Look at the pipeline to the NBA. Top college basketball programs are predominantly black as well. Take a look at the pipeline there - a large percentage of inner-city kids who grew u

I'm sure the usage of the Picasa desktop app wasn't very high, and the Photos web version captures most of the features users wanted like albums, editing, tagging and sharing (lacking folders still). Nothing wrong with Google thin

Can it even play a handicapped game? I'm assuming the handicap means the other play can begin with several stones on the board. AlphaGo would have no training on such a configuration and would likely not know how to approach it.
