It's 15 companies that adopted a technique and it's part of a broader constellation of experiments in this area which have been confounding the traditional logic that productivity would decrease. https://www.4dayweek.co

So you've conflated regional with generic, a distinction I pointed out first, without any worked reasoning at all. People generally lose their trademarks quickly if they don't enforce them and allow them to go into the language

Feta comes from φέτα/~"slice", so it's not named after a region. Melbourne has one of the largest Greek populations in the world. Why don't these Greek people have right to their heritage? If the British were to sta

Censorship and demonetisation on YouTube seems to be happening to people fairly regularly, and without appeal, via poorly calibrated algorithms, corporate pressure and to satisfy mobs of complaining people for various reasons. The rules see

I think in addition to histograms and features like SIFT, SURF, and others like DAISY[0] that would permit searching with images as a query it would be beneficial just to use a neural network to text index using the classes at very top of a

The examples where this happens have always seemed fairly weak to me. How many of the grave errors, not just where it's the wrong type of animal or container but actually thinking it's radically different, survive an application o

The full results in the report seem to me be somewhat more complex to interpret than the summary, or the original submission title, suggest. On the first question (Q18jt), a 4 point scale without a "don't know" neutral option

Isn't the Titan X also about RAM? It has 12GB to the GTX 1080's 8GB. At the low end you could just buy more than one GTX 1080, so it looks like a good deal there, but at the top end you are running out of slots for cards.

I don't speak with any authority on this. With word2vec you can do operations like king - man + woman and the nearest vector will be queen. Similarly capital cities will be in a similar relationship to their countries so if you take Ro

"A Bayes Factor Meta-Analysis of Recent Extrasensory Perception Experiments"[0] is a good read in this area. It extends the analysis of psi with Bayes factors and underscores how the priors, and a causal mechanism, really matter.
