There are several comments about the accuracy of the algorithm, but Doctors also struggle with diagnosis. In the Deep Mind study on DR they found that for about 20% of referable cases doctors disagreed on the diagnosis about 40-50% of the time. In order to combat this they had at least 3 and up to 7 opthamologists grade each image.

Most important part in my mind. The effort that you put into helping a PR agency iterate on pitches will be the biggest difference between getting good results and being out a serious amount of time and money.

Also worth noting is the continuing evolution of the motivations behind hacks. The impact team made a seemingly moral (subjectively, not objectively moral, of course) when they could have likely blackmailed these users for money or influence.

I grew up in Maine, and while this may not be surprising, the opt-opt program deals a tough blow to what would have been a major infrastructure upgrade for the state. According to a friend involved with Central Maine Power and the installation opt-out rates are extinguishing a lot of the benefits that federal stimulus dollars are going towards since much of the overhead is paid for up front.

I worry more, however, about what this says about the future of smart grid technologies elsewhere when those ignorant of the science are allowed to have such strong influence in this policy.
