Because they find a way to rapidly introduce new users into a previously stagnant market. The technology isn't revolutionary but something about their implementation is. To cite classic example, their were plenty of smartphones before

This actually fits in nicely with the Comcast "rinse and repeat" method. Keep calling back asking the same question until you get the answer you want. Maybe he should have just submitted phantom requests from every address on his

Situations like this are all I can think of when considering offloading more and more work to machines. I am all for automation, and maybe it is the lesser of two evils, but there is a certain human problem solving/reasoning element th

Turns out for most people stability and cost are much more important than having something incrementally better Or, rather, people have different definitions of better . For many people, cost and stability are huge components of their pe

The article states that the video conferencing feature would only be available for use when the vehicle is stopped. In other words, any time you were able to use it you would also be legally allowed to use a cell phone.

This seems like a great idea. In fact, I think it would make sense for companies to profile the roles of existing employees (or even better, have the employees build the profile themselves). In this way, companies can gain a better understa

It's amazing that a big studio like EA has allowed a single developer to maintain such a stranglehold over one of their largest franchises for so long. It makes you wonder how often they quietly call meetings behind his back that are s

Average MLB Career is 5.6 years[1] * $3.8M/year = $21.28M Divide that by 40 (assuming a career from 25-65) and you still have $532k/year. [1] http://www.ramfg.com/RAM-Financial-Group-Solutions-Professio...

How about paying a monthly fee for a search engine that DID profile users but gave these users full control over how the data is used?

It's hard to identify the product name in the url which leads to a lack of trust. Just my opinion.

Both functions (2^x and 4^x) have exponential growth, but their exponential growth is not linearly related. 2*(2^x) != (4^x)

I don't think that's right. Assuming we had 5 characters to encode data, with base2 we get 2^5 = 32 possible combinations with base4 we get 4^5 = 1024 possible combinations

If they have possible values: TGAC, why not convert everything into base4? Wouldn't you get astronomical gains in storage?

I think getting stuffed into the back of a windowless Russian military helicopter may conflict with some of the appeal that the service is trying to market.

Although this was clearly a failure, I imagine there are a lot of these that are successfully getting across. It's not hard to see where obvious mistakes were made.

It seems it would be very hard to place an arbitrary restriction like that (2x human intelligence vs 100x human intelligence) on something that is learning. I think the idea here is that the AI would begin to learn on its own and become sma
