This is about the acme of analog computers. They had one killer app (as far as I know), which was shipboard gunnery control. A lot of the stuff going on with machine learning and deep learning today has this as antecedent.

What's going on behind that Facebook quiz? Cambridge Analytica gets a look at personality scores and, thanks to Facebook, gains access to their profiles and real names. The firm sells analytics, data, profiles. It's what they call big data psychographics. The big data world that I work in has a sort of a hangover going on right now – some dizzy blur after a long period of heady growth.

But her mother wouldn't let her go - and she acquiesced. My brother elicited the suitor's name, and found it in the followup newspaper death list covering the Nov 28, 1942 fire when 495 were killed. Most of us can find one of these moments where, by chance or grace, they may have not ever happened. I have a couple more. The dream was without fire. That was attached on the new...

The Stones (Country Tonk) and the Beatles (Act Naturally) promoted country when their music ruled my mind. When I worked on a book on the blues, country music was part of the research. I came to like it a lot. When Paul DeMark told me about his new band, the Honky Tonk Detours I wanted to share some of my favorites of a certain style of country - oh, truth be told, I just wanted to be told I was hip, man - so I made a YouTube collection. Added a few to it today.
