For what it's worth, I can confirm this comment works if you need to speak to someone: https://www.reddit.com/r/IRS/comments/1b6bisk/comment/ktarmz...

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…

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 r…

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…

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 s…

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 compreh…

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 ).

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, outs…

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 a…

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 p…

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 op…

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 to…

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

Sadly, I don't think it would have really helped. And I'm not saying that lightly.

Beacon, although many called it Beacon Reader.

I had a startup that tried something like this. Initially we went with a similar membership concept, except people subscribed to one writer directly, and got access to the collecti…

Great work! I made a whole interface for easily generating this kind of art in the browser http://blog.zmitri.com/studio/ open source: https://github.com/dmitric/studio If you want…

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…
