You don't have to go that far back. See the recent Surfside tragedy. Israel sent an elite rescue team and set up relief centers to assist displaced persons, regardless if they were Israeli or not.

Do you propose IP be treated similarly to real property? Maybe require a permit from the government before one writes a book or song to ensure that work will be in the public interest?

The Wikimedia Foundation hosts collaborative projects which are not encyclopedias. WikiNews for instance cuts right into the heart of what EC is trying to stop. Really shows how much thought the EC put into their "arbitrary exceptions

I think it is interesting to reflect on the idea that high technology builds on top of primitive technology. Just as he uses past tools to make more complex tools, every human era of technology builds upon the last. You could say primitive

Not only can chaos be exhibited in fully deterministic systems, it can be exhibited in absurdly simple systems. The logistic map is an incredibly simple iterated function that exhibits highly chaotic behavior. It remains one of most mysteri

There are some corporate structures that seem better suited for owning real estate, like a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). Maybe there is a proxy "Google REIT" that is 100% owned by Google. Or some other proxy entity account

IPOs tend to be a lot more valuable. It’s more an implication of a successful exit. In either case, you have to pay off your debt and preferred stockholders before you see a dime from a liquidation event. A low value liquidation can leave z

How do you suppose we fix this? I'm not being factious here.

It happens when practitioners generalize theorems to scenarios that look similar but don't apply. The common pattern is misapplying an infinite set theorem to finite set case. If you don't know about the theorem in question to beg

How about a compromise? Submit an outline resume that fits on a single page and provide a link to a huge CV with all the details?

Probably something to do with the rent seeking problem. It’s wealth tied mostly to possessing rights to exploit valuable land, not to the labor or ingenuity of people.

This isn't even theoretical! See the Sony rootkit DRM scandal. EME will almost certainly become an attack vector in the future.

I would start with diagnosing and prescribing (possibly computer/statistics assisted) versus trying to tackle surgery first. I think you'll find that surgery is considered the hardest skill for a MD to obtain. Plus anyone getting

This right. In fact CVS MinuteClinics are usually manned by nurse practitioners. They can do many things typically associated with internal/family medicine.

Importantly, the costs of our medical system relative to other systems will never be fixed until we fix this problem. But this is the hardest problem to fix, because nobody wants to talk about it. It's political suicide.

Part of this is because medical professors make a salary that is at least twice (and usually higher) what the next highest paid professor at a university makes. You fix the salary program across the board, and medical school will become che

Their gross pay is way higher then $250,000. Actually $250,000 is the net salary after all expenses, and that's about right for not particularly enterprising doctors (ie. internal medicine, no surgery).

Yes. ResNet was CVPR paper of the year last year. This year DenseNet has a first author from Tsinghua University (Dr. Zhuang Liu). I feel like the importance of China in machine learning is very hard to dispute these days. At least they are

I always felt it was kinda unreal that a tiny plant barely larger then the surrounding grass can become a huge tree given enough time of poor lawn maintenance. It doesn't even seem to take very long until tree saplings gain the ability

I can tell you that it would have horrible effects in the VC industry and AR/VR specifically if it turns out to be a huge boondoggle.

I wouldn't recommend for training. CPU's work just fine for low intensity inference. Especially online/interactive inference, these are situations where you pass in one example at a time. GPU excel when you pass data in conti

They thought the high temperatures of fission could ignite fusion in the surrounding nitrogen. That could start a chain reaction that eats the whole atmosphere. Basically turning the surface of the Earth into a star. Turns out that the math
