it feels like youtube could avoid a lot of controversy by adding a button to tip/pay creators directly on the site. But the broader issue is that Google, an advertising company, will probably not do it. That's why youtube should b

> mRNA capsids to communicate In this case "communicate" is in a narrow sense - this communication is very slow and Arc has more to do with plasticity rather than the electrical response of neurons.

i m referring to outrages. before facebook it was net neutrality, before that, something i dont remember. it has become a media pattern.

Have we reached peak facebook yet? Is there a name for these serial outrages that pop up every 2 months? I get it, it's good clickbait but does it need to follow us here in HN?

> 4 billion years of computing and a computer the size of a planet That is not impossible to simulate, even if it includes the entire lineage of the humans. Also, nature prefers generalized algorithms as well, starting from DNA.

i think they mean "european HQ" in the sense that they serve the whole of EU from Ireland.

for the sake of argument i will go with the opposite idea - why not? Do you have evidence that scaling up will fail to produce more intelligence? We already know that the current deep networks (small,compared to the brain) produce fragments

it's not for the lack of trying however. in fact if it wasn't for people trying out random stuff they wouldn't have the leaps of 2010s in neural networks - that leap was not informed by some mathematical model. i don't s

he does point elsewhere that machine learning solutions must account for "long tail" data , so it seems to me he 's looking for perfect solutions that will never exist.

there is nothing like backpropagation in the brain, or a probabilistic pattern matcher. there is evidence that a connectionist model is applicable, but learning is not deciphered, and there are aspects of it, like neuronal excitability, loc

that's a trivial statement, unless he can suggest a different way to do things. Should people have held off building any bridges, until the 20th century arrived ? Building things and science have always evolved side-by-side in a feedba

I 'm in the EU and i don't understand this animosity. Maybe because i don't use facebook, but i support people's rights to have access and use whatever they want. I 'm not even concerned much about facebook , i m mo

Of course you can do business with non-EU companies, and the bilateral laws between the two countries apply. Having an EU presence gives tax advantages and a centralized way to avoid dealing with each EU country separately.

I have yet to see a GDPR article with concrete , worked out example cases. I think EU should have published such a guide out. The law is more vague than a gospel.

without trying to be harsh to EU, they do have a bad record. 2 examples: Cookie Law, EU VAT (by common admission it is a system that is impossible to implement correctly)

Yeah that is absolutely true. Facebook used the platform as a way to keep people busy while they were focusing on growing the network to include everyone and their dog. After that they used the platform as an accessory and testing ground fo

If your app depended on getting user data from facebook, you should have moved away from that anyway, they made so many pointless changes and limitations over the years that the fuss was not worth it. you can still use the feed dialogs for
