I deleted my Reddit account which kept the old design on it. Now when I occasionally browse Reddit as a non-user, it looks like an awful implementation of material design with tons…

It was a major can of worms when we started image recognition years ago. I think privacy will naturally continue to decrease if there's no regulation. More information is ammo for …

Then they would give their algorithms more power and memory, upgrade their cameras to capture more spectrum and/or resolution and learn who has used a tattoo to cover up their face…

You are right, according to quantum mechanics. If you have a pair of electrons in a product state and measure the spin of one of them, you instantly know what the "other particle's…

I just had a really bad experience with Uber myself. Here's my data point: I was just trying to get an Uber the other day in a large city and I waited over an hour in the rain. The…

This is a fantastic comic. Technically correct -- the game of the learner. Pragmatics -- the game of the master.

I don't see why this research couldn't be applied to empirical data from an arbitrary system of coupled oscillators. I am interested in EEG and fNIRs, but there are drawbacks. Naiv…

It is tempting to be lazy and criticize this work because it contains a few instances of the phrase "quantum consciousness". This paper has one purpose: To get people thinking of t…

Sometimes data is not beautiful, but very ugly. These results are based on a flawed premise. One red flag -- where is the word "dank" in your list? Where are words used by people w…

Leave it to a computer scientist to leave out the quantum tunneling metaphor. Well, here it is: skips current hill "I know somebody."

This is genius. The best ads do their work not in the 15 seconds they play -- but in the lifetime that follows. Well done Burger King, after all -- what good is Google if you can't…

I can't stand articles like this -- they bait you into reading poetry at the promise of science. So many words, so few ideas that are actually substantive. Consciousness speculatio…

It doesn't seem to be fundamentally different than reCAPTCHA. They will probably replace the click-this-checkbox box with a set of elements already on the hosted page. Only indexin…

Ironically, the people that said "No" just answered a binary question for $0.00. So, does that mean their answer is "yes"?
