I bet it would be up even higher if Niantic (sp.?) and Nintendo had a formalized data sharing agreement. See HN discussion here:

How? It's the study and critique of ideologies, without a judgment of right / wrong.

That's an interesting perspective -- to clarify, do you just consider that any subjective judgment is derived from a set ideology?

Neither are being bad, but Spotify is clearly trying to force the issue around the App Store generally. Spotify is clearly at fault here (and the way it's been handled in the media suggests some machination, perhaps), but Apple's revenue model with App Store is just as good or bad as it has always been (or maybe better, now that there's the 85/15 split option).

That's a good question. I think it's probably by enjoying what you do - if you enjoy it and keep learning as you go, you'll probably get better.

Basically sounds like a way to get to the "10,000 hour rule".

Nice job, Adrian Docea!

The use case outlined is solvable by a spreadsheet. IBM continues to put marketing first, product second.

Good time to post my list of favorite xkcd cartoons:

Explains what was going on when they bought LinkedIn.

The fact that you go to this effort is why I love HN.

Who keeps posting this? This gets debunked every single time.

I hope they aren't - I'm american/lebanese as well, hence noticing.

Is Marwan Fawaz also lebanese-american? Tony Fadell is, and Marwan's LinkedIn looks like he went to a high school in Lebanon. What are the odds!

Two points to keep in mind:

- It's a deck with 200+ slides, so it's going to probably have decent content in there somewhere.

- A document / paper would have been better for you, but you're not really the intended audience.

The whole idea behind these syndicated reports is to drive business to their firm either by being consumed by 'suits' who commission those reports, or by being cited in presentations delivered to other 'suits' who might go on to commission a report from them.

I would attribute the (mis)use of that word a little bit more to the author of the article, and a little bit less to 'centuries of philosophers' - many of whom were scientists.

That was an incredible piece. What an interesting way of looking at it.

Matching it to Minsky's model really shows the limitations of current AI - but I'm going to read more about the validity of Minsky's model before setting any thoughts in stone.

Thanks for sharing that.

I don't know why, but the image of really cute little robots popped into my head. I would fund that - for the cuteness alone.

When 'artificial intelligence' is the same thing as 'crowdsourcing and averaging'...

This is misleading. It's just Wisdom of the Crowd stuff. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_of_the_crowd)

How is this not the first thought people had? Poor guy, with a lot of signs of mental instability. The amount of animosity people have had towards him on HN (and elsewhere) isn't tempered by how obviously imbalanced he is. I think it's because of the disproportionate amount of media attention he's received for something he didn't earn.

Truly the type of content befitting HN.

I, for one, would fund this study, if only for the joy of knowing that it is occurring.

This is really interesting - and extremely ambitious. Having played with the CVE database, I'd caution you that it was surprisingly difficult (for me) to parse. The content is mildly unstructured, so that would be one of the first things I would look to figure out before building the retrieval system for the affected code.

I'm assuming it's like Twitch, but for less interesting content.

Betting on local instead of cloud is always an interesting gamble.

Pros:

- Security

- Control

Cons:

- Resource limitations

- (...)

Yes, of course. Representatives are assigned at 1 per ~700,000 ppl.

Good for her! A sabbatical sounds great. And she's definitely earned it.

The monetization strategy reveals itself! I'm always intrigued by subscriptions to individual content producers.

>Regulation never helps the end-consumers

The FDA, FDIC, and other acronyms would like to have a word with you.

I've reread it 3-4 times, and I'm having a hard time understanding what the argument is. Typically, you'd expect something like

> if p, then q

> if q, then z

but this article reads as

> if p, then q

> if z, then m

Except that it's all wrapped in language - the ideas look like they should flow together, but they don't. There are probably missing steps in the analysis. Might be a case of over-summarization by the journalist.
