Machine Learning Scale 2017 recap

>Detecting place visits at scale: Jan and Danielle offer a deep dive into a system capable of interpreting location signals coming from mobile devices at scale.

It's weird to see people proud of things that so seriously bother other people. Tracking everyone they can 24/7 is seriously creepy.

Hey, doesn't "detecting place visit at scale" answer some of the comment question seen previously on HN? I remember someone saying they visited a bar and talked to someone and that someone was "recommended friend". And this video talks about asynchronous detection of your location. It detects you're both in the same bar for a period of time and that somehow contributes to you being recommended as friends? I might be chaining too many "if" and "maybe" here though. But the video is talking about this stuff at around 31 mins.

Edit: 14 mins in or 31 mins remaining, sorry.

This facebook engineer is using words like "Human Impact" and "Democratization" like facebook is an integral part of human life globally, crucial to their survival. I would tell this guy to sit the hell down you work on a boring social network that mostly old people use to perpetuate their ignoramist memes.

Next the engineer from internet explorer on topic how IE is saving the world.
