Because the bank's relationship with its customers, central banks, and society as a whole, is codified in law and not in code. So if you find a legal loophole that's different from hacking the bank to get something the legal syst

I'm having a hard time parsing your argument. Could you make this concrete, what are your values and what are the values that are irreconcilable with yours?

This is a shoddy article that serves only to undermine efforts to deal effectively with Covid, in return for some clicks and eyeballs. Firstly, the entire premise of the article is not grounded in fact, it's based on multiple in-conclu

Nice idea... Currently it's only legal to share source code libraries though right? Binary swift frameworks would constitute Apple NDA covered software, so unless they're compile with Xcode 5 we'd have to wait for pro-tool li

Have seen a lot of these services, but this is definitely worth checking out. I think Multi-armed bandits are the way to go with optimisation, and just won Startup Asia's hackathon using this technique for a tinder-style app. A lot o
