Yeah. It's still an interesting project, I just don't think there will be a product anytime soon.

Assuming Watson is "snake-oily" (Chess and TV demos aside), I don't see anybody else on the planet, let alone that startup Google bought, solving this one without people dying from misdiagnosis. I'll write two things her

I like your optimism. Personally, having sat on 'watson for healthcare' presentations by top architects, and having had conversations with them, I'm far less optimistic about the whole AI in healthcare approach.

Sport cars have stronger engines, luxury cars are heavier. How do you get from that to 'more economical' ?

The better question is why the media is starting to distract you over there in USA with UFOs and Russians again.

Yeah, just it's nice to have a good reference of what combination looks sharp. I added it for the next interview shoplist.

True. But for average people at popular banks, it's very sufficient.

Unfortunately for the field , analytics is equated with advertising and user profiling lately. We'll see how this one pans out, but it may be somewhat career limiting.

Very interesting to see how this turns out for artists. From one side, there are studies that show that brief interruptions boost the brain searching for creative solutions. From another side, nothing gets done because FB, Reddit, cats and

The developed world mostly started following USA with QE+bailout based currency supply policy. Now that USA is playing a different game the rest will probably follow that too. It's just that the USA is ahead of the game again.

Yes. Only 20-40% of investments, chunk of the stock market based pension, and several years or decades of ones sweat. It will rise stronger if you are in your 20s-40s, not if you are 60+ and planning to retire.

So, since nothing backs the deflatory currency being traded as an actually appreciating asset, it will be a global loss. Mostly to the dumb money entering late to the game.

Sure. Keep in mind I'm not an expert. I also have to write some assumptions first, I apologize for the length. There are ups and downs. The bigger the up, the uglier the down (1999 vs 2007).Money gets flooded and scooped (interest rate

Continuous QE spilled in everything else, assets, stocks, latest is crypto. At some point, math kicks in and it will have to reset. Coincidentally, why else do you think Trump is trying to bring everything back home? Note: I am not from the

Funny. Before DRM, spam, i-have-to-monetize daily 5 minute of bloging into a full time pay, unskipable 30s YouTube ads, profiling every possible user behavior and other shady shit like that: We wondered how can we improve the web. Now, we

As a Canadian, I find it fascinating to watch this develops. I'd like to say three things: 1. It may be a bad move. Reasons are many and rehashed to death. Let me skip this one. 2. It may be a good thing. Especially if it pushes people

I'm amazed at the stupidity permeating this thread ( and wiling to burn karma to defend against it). A random guy wakes up at 1am with a cramped muscle. Goes to facility that is equipped to deal with anything . On the spot surgeries,

You have to get to the CEO these days. I have one of these five pages resume. I usually get a job offer after an interview.

Depends how you look at it. Any decent Comp. Sci. University will have enough math and statistics.

Well honestly, I wrote that because I wasn't sure what to reply. I'm taking in five comments about power supplies, tons of wrapped wire, and I get a reply about a single wire. Anyways, I apologise for being snappy.

The magnetic head that writes to the disk, is fairly small and close to the platter. The flux is very contained. So that part seems negligible in the overall scheme of things.

No, what he is saying, is that moving magnetic field, induces current , and can mess up the cheap power supply and/or other components, which can then mess up the drives. In a server, the power supply is on the other end of the chas

But it will mess up the power flow. Misbehaving powesupplies destroy HDDs.

Let me answer your first question with few examples: When Chrome started taking off in 2010, they introduced unique ID per browser user that's sent to their servers. This has nothing to do with the web standards, but it's non opti
