VLMs are cool - they generate embeddings of the images themselves (as a collection of patches) and you can see query matching displayed as a heatmap over the document. Picks up text that OCR misses. Here's an open-source API demo I built if you want to try it out: https://github.com/DataFog/vlm-api
The transaction won’t be disclosed if it is immaterial (small enough). Ask a friend from the company or maybe an investor depending on who you have a relationship with. You just want to know the per share valuation of common stock.
Frankly I’m surprised the founder isn’t being more candid with you. Messing about and prolonging this stuff helps no one.
It's not that easy unfortunately - there will almost certainly be different classes of shareholder and various clauses to protect investors etc. Your options may well turn out to be worthless.
So adding on to the labor/fixed cost increase, prices are just inflated since insurance pays for them anyway. In India, people don’t really consider insurance for such routine work due to the hassle of processing the claims too.
I think this is a good link to another article I read recently talking about what makes a good CEO. It is not about whether a CEO makes a decision, but how quickly he can make it despite the lack of all the data and convincing the rest to follow him.
Arguments/discussions are good, but a strong leader is needed in the end to draw a conclusion and figure out an execution plan.
To be honest, bluetooth was not that reliable until recently. With the new 4.x versions of Bluetooth, things are a lot more stable with audio devices. So I wouldn't blame Jawbone alone.
'From 2007 on, Hotz became a coding vagabond. He briefly attended Rochester Institute of Technology, did a couple five-month internships at Google, worked at SpaceX for four months, then at Facebook for eight. The jobs left him unsatisfied and depressed. At Google, he found very smart developers who were often assigned mundane tasks like fixing bugs in a Web browser; at Facebook, brainy coders toiled away trying to figure out how to make users click on ads. “It scares me what Facebook is doing with AI,” Hotz says. “They’re using machine-learning techniques to coax people into spending more time on Facebook."' http://www.bloomberg.com/features/2015-george-hotz-self-driv...
This has been a big discussion point everywhere - about shocking this behavior is and how people's lives are at stake. But let me offer an alternate perspective, and maybe some insight into their behavior.
If you lose your ID or any other official documents in India, everyone knows how much of a hassle it is going to be to get these documents reissued. Of course the possibility of bribes to move the papers. Insurance claims for lost baggage? I wouldn't rely on it. It might take them a while to save up to buy whatever they might have in their bags too. Laptops, tablets etc. They probably don't earn that much to begin with. This is probably what ran through their minds.
Yes, lives are more important in the end and every second counts in such a scenario. But as an individual they might think - hey, it takes a few seconds to grab my bag and jump out. That would save me SO much trouble. Unfortunately that's what everyone thinks and in the end everyone goes for their bags and waste precious time.
It seems like a more effective social fix for this would be to ensure that any survivors of a plane crash are immediately met inside the terminal by representatives of the airline, doctors, and members from the national consulate, who give complimentary toiletries, changes of clothes, spending money, etc. and fasttrack any requests for replacement travel documents.
Such a system would be beneficial for other reasons as well: in many recent plane crashes, survivors have ended up wandering the area, which leads to a lot of unnecessary stress for loved ones searching for them, administrative hassles for airlines and first responders, and difficulty for accident investigators. If there was a clear protocol for where to go, who to receive, and what you'd receive in the event of a crash, people would be a lot less nervous about their belongings.

In light of this, the phenomenon of passengers grabbing their luggage makes objective sense, and has changed my view of people trying to take their carry-on with them.
FTA:
>> The main reasons passengers gave for grabbing their bags was money, wallets, or credit cards, followed by work materials, keys, and medication
The individualism 'above' (no particular effort on the part of airline, airport or first responders to create an environment to receive and help crash survivors) informs the individualism 'below' (one should grab one's documentation, money, means of communication etc because no immediate means of support otherwise exists). Note to self, ALWAYS grab luggage from plane wreckage.

That would certainly help, but that would still mean loss of all data on electronic devices not carried out. Sure, I have remote backups — secured with an account whose credentials are stored on my local hard drive.
They should just autolock the baggage compartments and maybe line them with insulation to stop a fire from ruining the stuff inside. A purse or a small computer bag on your lap is not going to cause that large of a delay in getting off the plane.
I don't think I’ve ever read a tech blog post that was so gripping, with twists and turns AND ends with a cliffhanger (until you click on the link to part 2)
