Giving up usually doesn't help. Just taking time to identify the root causes often leads to a simple and better solution. Unfortunately, I am rarely able to convince others to follow along. My company is extremely…
The CuriousAi TAG and LADDER research looks interesting. They claim same accuracy with much fewer labeled data.
I've built similar platforms. Naturally, I think they are awesome. They are a core part of very valuable products like SAP, Salesforce, etc. You will get a lot of push back from high developers who prefer direct access…
We focus on the mating but the real challenge is keeping relationships interesting when we're not mating.
What if large companies built on-campus employee housing on top of their parking lots and moved the parking lots below ground? They could make a "corporate" city by adding a mall, hospital, child care/schooling. Imagine…
Is there a link to get the code?
I used to give Dune to my teenage relatives and it usually turned them into avid readers; they would thank me later. I noticed that it doesn't hold the interests of the recent teenagers in the family; it is hard to get…
Agreed, I made gross assumptions based on my crazy background and experiences. I grew up in public housing (80% welfare families) in East New York (Brooklyn) during the 80s when that tiny (crack infested) neighborhood…
"Applied" education is the best path for the poor. Don't teach the 3-Rs. Teach them how to fix their problems: 1) fight the cycle of poverty 2) weaken gangs 3) reduce crime and drug usage 4) renovate local housing,…
The US has a horrible human rights history. The country started with genocide of native americans. It enslaved and murdered millions of africans. It still has very racist tendencies. It killed several million koreans,…
Do you know of a human pose estimation from 2d images service/library? I've seen papers about it. I would like to try it out.
Can it see proteins, cell walls or viruses?
What an odd coincidence? I had a similar idea yesterday. Except, I think your solution should be more general; A site that lets anyone pay to talk to an expert on any topic. The user should post their question and the…
There is a thisamericanlife show (Crime Pays) about cops paying kids to give up (or avoid) a life of crime. It is quite amazing how little it takes to prevent someone from costing society $40K a year in jail.…
Previously, Martin Shkreli shorted drug companies and tried to convince regulators to blocked their pending drugs. I wonder if he is shorting the drug stocks again but this time he is using a new technique to…
As for perfect SAT test scores equating to a right to get into Harvard... It is pretty clear that SAT scores are not always indicative of merit. When I was a Harvard senior I tutored another Harvard senior in high…
If you strongly feel that affirmative action is wrong then the best way to end it is to end racial segregation in housing and K-12 education. When colleges see that all kids are getting the same opportunities they will…
I went to harvard. In freshman orientation, we were told that harvard doesn't "admit" mistakes. But obviously they do; a small percentage of students are mentally ill for example. My freshman roommate was one of them.…
I would love to see a puzzle solving game like Clark (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dPVseD0Va8). I think the puzzles should be community-defined in some easy to create format (json, xml, etc) if possible.
At the end of the story, they mentioned that local Haitian organizations were building lots of homes. It was also mentioned that there is lots of money still unspent. It seems that the Red Cross (or the US Gov) just…
Obviously trust, connectivity, infrastructure, etc are the major issues for investing in the 3rd world. It is very easy and tempting for a local to take your investment and run off. It helps to live there, get to know…
Look for your "catch 22". Sometimes the approach you want to use can never win and you've been ignoring that flaw. For example, you were building solutions to problems that customers didn't accept, trust or want.…
Like other serious business flaws (e.g. the GM key ignition bug), companies weigh the risks and can conclude that it is cheaper to respond the problem than to fix it proactively. As a result, should the government…
I wonder how much was used to build their ghost cities: http://www.businessinsider.com/chinas-ghost-cities-in-2014-2...
