   I think there's a concern also that smaller companies can gain a competitive edge via resistance to reputational damage. As Yann LeCun recently tweeted: 'By releasing public demos that, as impressive & useful as they may be, h

    Thanks. I suppose I'm after more materials related to projects with a science/research element where outcomes are perhaps more loosely defined than for a typical software project. I haven't read this, however, and it is defin

    This would be bizarre - wouldn't this mean that Apple are essentially shipping illegal images with their OS? (Subject to some as yet unknown decoder)

    I agree - I feel like I’m collecting ‘aha!’ moments and they tend to stick if you’ve been banging your head against a wall a bit.

    I'm curious how the automated market makers keep the prices in sync across exchanges, any more detail you can offer/links to further reading?

    Not really an answer, but possibly food for thought. I suspect there are a handful of funded projects that are retreading old ground in seemingly disparate disciplines, for example by applying fairly simple computational techniques to areas
