The change to a proprietary license can be about reducing risk, particularly in competition that forks/reuses the open source to offer competing products. It's reductive to just ask "number go up?" and conclude all these companies made stupid choices. It would make more sense to look at the licenses case-by-case and get some idea of what each company was trying to protect. I doubt that any of them switched over to a proprietary license for branding reasons.

Fair explanation. I actually agree with points you are making, and I shouldn't have made assumptions. My bad.

I don't why you had to add "offshore" and "H1-B" to your argument. There's a way to call out the causes (hiring at the low end of engineering capabilities, short-term contracting engagements without accountability) that doesn't paint people from other countries as a problem. Unless your beef is literally with people from outside your country. Neil Diamond Therapy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The headline doesn't make logical sense to me. China and US are countries. Europe is a frigging continent. Also... I don't care.

They got the NY Times to write an ad for them. Eightfold's marketing department is doing a nice job. NYT writer--not so much.

If you complain too much at work about open plan distractions ruining your productivity, you'll see a pair of these on your desk and wish you hadn't said anything.

I love Macbooks. I hate where Apple has taken them. When my 2013 Macbook finally crapped out, my best option was seemingly to buy a used Macbook three years old to avoid the problematic butterfly keyboard. The fact that they stuck with their bad choices in the 2018 model is so demoralizing. Get it together, Apple.

I agree. I'd also like to see some before and after on images that were noisy on their own--not having noise artificially added. I understand the value of adding noise artificially--you have a perfect image to use as a definition of success for training. But to really judge the effectiveness, I'd want to see some non-generated noise. Their model might be trained to specifically to their noise generation. All that said... it's a cool project. I hate how slashdotters gotta be down on everything all the time.

It's a leap to say that the comment was "disingenuous". Facebook is a large company, with departments handling different things, some of which would be outside of Zuckerberg's knowledge. What he said at one moment can be in conflict with what his company does without it being a lie. Not defending him or FB. I just wish people would write things more fairly.

There's no shortage of good content. Maybe if you watch a whole season of House of Cards in one sitting, you won't enjoy it as much as if you'd watched it spread out. But since you can immediately find other shows of similar quality to watch, then maximizing your viewing hedonism is done by binging. The limiting factor is just your time and how much of it you want to spend glued to a TV screen. If there is one thing in the world that I have no worries about, it's the entertainment industry's ability to feed us delicious screen candy.

Yeah, that was my question too. This seems entirely aligned with their interests, and they have joined efforts like this before.

Please clean up your space debris mess while you're up there? You know... from the time you blew up your own satellite like ridiculous assholes? Thank you.

Why is it a story that someone has a hypothesis? Do the tests, publish your findings.

Why would they say it's a 4D image? I'm going to count the dimensions they're using again. One... two.. three... Wait, are they counting time too?

1. Pick a problem, any problem.
2. Claim it can be solved with laissez faire capitalism and will be worsened with any form of government intervention.
3. Ignore any evidence to the contrary.

In this article, the author acts as though the threat of data discrimination from cable and phone companies is fantastical speculation. But it's already happened, and so many times. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D... In most markets, people only have one or two choices for a broadband connection, so they can't vote with their dollars effectively to resolve the problem. Much as I enjoy the elegance of free market principles, the Invisible Hand is not gonna fix this one.
