Just because it is in the cloud means little. We have countless APIs that can be chained together. So? No doubt the cloud will not be a fad, but this post is just random hype.
He talks about all his behavior alleles (?) but gives us no idea of a baseline in the general population.
He talks about how his brain has this same scan as a psychopath, but doesn't tell us how many people have this same scan in the general population.
It is all glossed over for a good talk.
This science has now evolved into books. I saw him on NOVA originally. Who would know who he is outside his academia world, if not for this silly discovery ?
This is such poor science. I'd question if having him look over a stack of brain scans to find correlations with certain behaviors to be of value. Seems like you'd be better off finding some layperson, teach them how to read these heat map type things and let them find the correlations. Like A/B testing for the brain. Then you don't have all these biases leading to book deals. chuckle.
I am pretty sure the set pictured would be illegal in the state of Texas without registering with the state. Maybe these laws have changed in the last decade, but they don't allow all manner of glassware.
Yep, here is the list.
(A) a condenser
(B) a distilling apparatus
(C) a vacuum drier
(D) a three-neck or distilling flask
(E) a tableting machine
(F) an encapsulating machine
(G) a filter, Buchner, or separatory funnel
(H) an Erlenmeyer, two-neck, or single-neck flask
(I) a round-bottom, Florence, thermometer, or filtering flask
(J) a Soxhlet extractor
(K) a transformer
(L) a flask heater
(M) a heating mantel or
(N) an adaptor tube
It sucks telling your kid she can't have a chemistry set because of this nonsense.
If I knew that would probably make me even more sad!
My gut says I would probably at least triple revenue if I could serve Adsense. Which would be enough to pay myself a bad salary while I continue the fight.
Could you load the images from the urls into memory and try out open source code[0] that detects porn (I'm sure there's probably something better out there, but this was just a quick find on github)?
I'm not sure how helpful it might be (false positives and what not), but it could help give you more numbers to quantify whats going on?
I don't understand if it has 6 million unique visitors a month, how can he not monetize this? This seems to be more about how the revenue via advertising has dried up. Can barely pay for the servers !?
6 million unique visitors a month are seeing nothing they can't see for free on Twitter. The problem of how to make money on aggregated content is an interesting one (and relevant to more than a few struggling entrepreneurs)
