Yes I'd certainly add attitude and openness. Except I don't have any quantitative research to back that up, so you're just winging it at that point. Which ends us back exactly where we started. GMA, work sample and integrity

Scarcity? If 99% of the cars are autonomous, and the only people left manually driving are driving Sports cars - everything from Mazda Miata's to Ferrari Enzo's, then that will be a very small, very expensive to market insure.

I'm doing this right now actually. The risk with using ML - in particular NN methods, in health care is that you have to be able to explain and support your conclusions. Also depending on the training set used you can get some VERY bad

This seems quite useful. Will you help find/place the right first hire for when companies outgrow you? That's the critical final selling point for me. Great, you've taken security off my plate in a small business. But now I&#

Why not use a modified Elo rating? That way you can not only easily figure out if you're going to win, but simulate the outcome of different scenarios?

Indeed. The people that most need this advice simply won't take it. The three most dangerous sentences in the world "That might work great for other companies, but..." "That's how we've always done it.&q

Actually the "CEO of mine in south america" thing isn't so far fetched. Except you have to know that a "mine" can be a 5 acre plot of land dredging up mud to feed into a processing machine. Friends of mine do it eac

This is very timely for me. Right at the moment I'm working on image segmentation for medical imaging. If I can draft off tech developed to sell more ads to do some good I'm all for it.
