Why isn’t Apple investing in machine learning?

Jack Rae, Google DeepMind Research Engineer
This is my personal opinion and it doesn’t represent Google.
People seem to be pushing back on this question, so I’m going to side with the OP here.

Eyes Up | Motorcycle training’s key visual skill

by Jason Pridmore

If you have taken any motorcycle training at all, I am sure you have been told to keep your eyes up. Unfortunately, unlike at a 2 Day STAR Motorcycle School, many schools say it; very few spend quality time teaching you how to improve this skill. So, let’s talk about how imp… http://www.thecherrycreeknews.com/eyes-up-motorcycle-trainings-key-visual-skill/ #AMASuperbikeChampionship, #BernatMartínez, #CameronBeaubier, #ElkhartLake, #GrandPrixMotorcycleRacing, #JoshHayes, #JoshHerrin, #NorthDenverNews, #RogerHayden

‘Goosebumps’: Pittsburgh fans sing ‘O Canada’ in support of Ottawa [video]

http://twitter.com/#!/Randycity/status/525125115072483328
Hockey fans really are the best. Check out this amazing video from last night’s Penguins game where the Pittsburgh faithful paid tribute to the city of Ottawa and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who lost his life in yesterday’s terror attack, by singing the Canadian national anthem:

More praise for Pittsburgh from our friends to the north:

Goosebumps is right. Great job, Pittsburgh!

Al-Shabab gunmen’s ‘press office’ live-tweets mall attack

http://twitter.com/#!/HSM_Press/status/381479233760948224
As Twitchy reported earlier, gunmen launched a terrorist attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya, reportedly telling Muslims to leave the area before opening fire. The al-Qaeda-linked Somali militia al-Shabab has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the group’s “press office,” @HSM_Press, has been tweeting its grievances and demands throughout the day.

Whoever is doing the tweeting claims to be in intermittent contact with the shooters inside the mall.

CNN is currently reporting “dozens” killed, with 31 seeming to be the most reliable number of confirmed casualties at the moment.

Kuffar, like infidels, is a derogatory term for non-Muslims.

For whatever reason, CNN is still being careful to enclose the word “terrorists” in quotation marks.

James Woods warns against ‘quiet erosion of individual liberty’

http://twitter.com/#!/kittez/status/458360250425675776
Retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens was interviewed by USA Today, and the liberal former judge believes the Constitution needs some serious amending:

His main focus is on a half-dozen issues that he believes have been wrongly decided or avoided — issues that can best be addressed by altering a document that’s been amended only 18 times in history, and just once since he joined the court in 1975.

“It’s certainly not easy to get the Constitution amended, and perhaps that’s one flaw in the Constitution that I don’t mention in the book,” he said during a wide-ranging interview with USA TODAY in his chambers at the court. Noting his book’s half dozen proposed amendments, he mused, “Maybe I should have had seven.”

Stevens, 94, proposes several changes to the Constitution. Among them, a clarification that the 2nd Amendment only applies to state militias, and that ordinary citizens do not possess the right to bear arms.

Actor James Woods sees Stevens’ proposals as another salvo against individual liberty:
http://twitter.com/#!/RealJamesWoods/status/458359542477500417
Some who replied to Woods were sarcastically surprised Stevens would have taken an oath to support and defend a Constitution that he apparently believes has quite a few flaws, one of which is that it’s just too darned difficult to alter:

Stevens was the third-longest serving justice in U.S. history, USA Today noted.
