You are watching a classic 21st century robbery in action, where lawyers are robbing corporations and employees under some pretense of magical justice. Counting the downvotes on co…

Yes, I completely agree. Travis Kalanick should have just watched and followed "I am just a bill"[1] video for instructions regarding changing labor law, prior to founding Uber. [1…

"Fighting organizations" is a rhetorical device used by lawyers to fool general public and people like you. The reality today is that there is a large lobby of litigators actively …

Discounting the tripe "You go girl" tone of the article, there is no divine law asserting that there ought to be only two forms of (W2/1099) employees. The labor laws should change…

Thanks, most privacy activists conveniently forget this argument. In most cases, the absolute approach taken by most privacy activists ends up hurting Students/Patients/Customers e…

In some cases, you can patent a major application for that algorithm and then license that patent. From what I know Larry and Sergey patented PageRank for Web Search. My advisor ha…

Deep Neural Networks involve Convolution and Matrix Multiplication operations which have a well defined hard upper bound in terms of speed wrt number of cores, GPUs (~thousands of …

Performing inference with deep learning modes is computationally costly as well. Its a reason why NVidia has two streams of business, Tesla / Titan / upcoming Volta GPUs to train m…

That's a ridiculous headline to derive from analysis of published article with title "The spreading of misinformation online". Sure the idea that Facebook makes us dumber might hav…

Good luck with that, considering europe already gets huge number of physicians from India. http://www.ndtv.com/indians-abroad/india-biggest-exporter-of...

Paraphrasing Sussman-Minsky story [1], just because you rely on judgement does not means there is no algorithm, it's just that you don't know what the algorithm is. In a country li…
