I work in this industry and there are a lot of bad UI choices all around. The picture of the California board looks like a good example and uncluttered. They have the budget out there to do that.

It doesn't have to be this way. There are standards for high performance HMI design where nothing is colored in unless it is an alarm condition.

I usually have to end up designing things the "bad way" because of customer expectation/demand. Some guy designed a screen back in 1989 and that became what they expect.

Wait before you make rash judgments: he also worked on Bitcoin.

How many times are they going to write this article?

> The $79 price point is attractive. I wonder how much power can be packed into such a small form factor? It's surprising that a lot of power isn't necessary for deep learning applications.

It runs pretrained NN, which is the cheap part. So this is a chip optimized to preform floating point multiplication and that's it.

> Movidius's NCS is powered by their Myriad 2 vision processing unit (VPU), and, according to the company, can reach over 100 GFLOPs of performance within an nominal 1W of power consumption. Under the hood, the Movidius NCS works by translating a standard, trained Caffe-based convolutional neural network (CNN) into an embedded neural network that then runs on the VPU.

This is sure to save me money on my power bill after marathon sessions of "Not Hotdog."

As I said here last week "Also the lead developer is some kid who believes very much in moving fast and breaking things. This philosophy may work for a social network site but not for other people's money."

This philosophy permeates the community of Etherum development.

Bitcoin disabled most of the smart contracts op codes for a very good reason.

I wouldn't recommend putting anything of value into an Etherum smart contract and find a project with more responsible developers who take a more "wait and see" approach.

I don't think JP Morgan is going to give you the private key to your bond. This is a slightly more decentralized version of holding securities in street name. It's less painful than direct registration, it's publicly auditable, and faster to settle.

It's a big deal imo, but a major blow for Bitcoin, because it's nowhere to be seen.

Have you ever purchased a bond? Ever wanted to sell one on the secondary market? Ever heard of the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program? You will if you try to trade bonds in the conventional way, which is a huge pain in the ass.

There is a lot of room for improvement by implementing the blockchain.

Ethereum's main selling point is it lets you issue illegal unregistered securities. Why would a real company want to associate with that?

Also the lead developer is some kid who believes very much in moving fast and breaking things. This philosophy may work for a social network site but not for other people's money.

How many terrible bugs have been discovered in Ethereums short history? Too many. Additionally the size of its blockchain has already passed Bitcoin. It's file size is growing so fast and will pose a serious technical problem.

The "jobs" this technology replaces were computerized in the 1960s and 1970s. The application of the blockchain only speeds up settlement because there is a single ledger between multiple parties.
