I think anything you decide to be call art, can be called art, but the issue of good vs bad art is much more open to interpretation :) I take generative art semi-seriously and have some cube like sketches https://www.instagram.co

What happened to working on AI for the good of humanity, including AGI, and making sure it didn’t fall into the hands of bad actors? Wasn’t that the original aspiration? Now this reads like next generation Intercom/Olark tools.

I was commenting based on my experience that 1) VC firms actually do ask you for permission to run background checks on you, look you up online, and know a fair bit about you 2) We run background checks on everyone we hire, and its fairly e

It's pretty common. VC funds will run these checks on you, and most companies do as well when they even hire you. It's table stakes for any company committed to data security and safety.

Hey there, founder of Chargehound here, it's a slider so you can adjust it to 5 mins if you want. Many companies do take up to 30 minutes especially if they are compiling a comprehensive portfolio (if the dispute is for thousands of do

Yes, there are lots. I would say Mike Bostock of d3 fame is an example of someone who does that well, as so is Yi Shen ( https://twitter.com/pissang1 ).

I do some generative art [1] and I think a lot of the concerns in this article have to do with it being accepted by the art world vs consumers. In my experience consumers enjoy generative art, and are happy to buy generative work so long as

How did you maintain compliance and security before you could have someone full time on it? How did you deal with audits? Did you hire an engineer full-time dedicated to this, outsource it, or do it yourself? (I ask because I do this now bu

You were down voted, but this is actually an internal talking point that FB uses to rally their current employees behind the company with. Some of the points an FB employee said about the situation around a week ago: "Well the ISPs are

Bloomberg makes all of their money from terminal and data services. In terms of the business model, the consumer news service is basically a vanity project, so I don't think they are that concerned with what newsfeed changes have done

Despite the tough situation for Facebook, I suspect they are somewhat pleased that the focus right now is on an older data breach instead of on the toolset and functionality they provide currently that people aren't talking about. Alth

I agree it's tough to do justice in a few sentences in a forum, which is why I assumed it would be done in the very in depth and otherwise interesting article you wrote :) In my opinion it's the absence of this topic from the arti

I'm a little disappointed in this post given China's penchant to controlling news/media/content. I see how this could easily be manipulated into an extremely powerful propaganda tool - especially hiding behind a guise of

Yeah me too, Hype Machine is fantastic for that. Such an undervalued service nowadays. If you haven't subscribed as a supporter I'd recommend it http://hypem.com/supporters

Yep - just posted my response because thought it would be interesting to see others. Anyway, seems like they have some functionality to provide canned responses based on events and the reason you provide.

I've used this service a few times and have to say it's fantastic. Compared to setting up LaTeX on a mac to manipulate a few docs every now and then, it's a dream.
