Sometimes I wonder how critical it is for an early-stage startup to have a great .com domain name.
If Golden had a harder-to-type domain name, would they get the same level of momentum and SEO juice?

#52Having worked with the "original" Watson, I saw first hand how the system stumbled upon a particularly stupid but hard problem as it tried to scale. In 2014, I saw a demo of the original Discovery Advisor, which was at the time the closest commercial equivalent to the "Jeopardy system." This demo took in Wikipedia as a corpus, and a question was asked: "what country produced the greatest amount of wheat in 2012?" The…
On the topic of Watson... I just really want Chef Watson back.

#54Congrats Jude & Team!
I just wrote a similar accolade, I've only recently discovered Jude and his work. He seems like a pretty awesome guy, stoked for him.

#55Is the name a reference to Dune’s “Golden Path?”

#58Tried searching for Bach, first result besides a bunch of companies (?) is a Canadian product designer. Johann Sebastian Bach isn’t even in the first page of search results somehow.
I am confused as how it can call itself a "knowledge database" when it doesn't even have basic knowledge. Searched for Falcon, apparently it's a company in the AI industry, has a website falcon.com.cn and is a genus of birds. Also searched "Apple", got the company, good knowledge base. The fruit Apple is a page that says it's a fruit tree, with the CEO Tim Cook, former CEO Tim Cook, and Timothy Cook. It seems to just…
Right Tim Cook is the former CEO. According to an authoritative source the current CEO is Tim Apple.

#59I wish the pricing/business model supported niche wiki creation. I want to put together a broad public knowledge base about a niche product segment, that connects common data elements for companies and products with deep technical models of the products themselves. Golden's tooling looks super useful, but too expensive for this use case.
MediaWiki, the software that Wikipedia uses is open source and Wikibase, the software that WikiData uses is also open source

This isn't a solved problem but is something that is very actively researched.
Google's TAPAS system deals with natural language queries on tabular data:

There are other strands of research too - just finding which tables are relevant to a query is a real problem.
