Los algoritmos como remedios recetados

Debemos tratar los algoritmos como medicamentos recetados Por Andy Coravos, Irene Chen, Ankit Gordhandas y Ariel Dora Stern February 14, 2019 Una cosa es cuando las compañías usan algoritmos para personalizar los anuncios de zapatos o etiquetarte en una foto de Facebook, y otra muy distinta es que los algoritmos decidan si te liberan bajo fianza o te envían a prisión. Si bien muchos han expresado su preocupación sobre el uso de algoritmos para informar decisiones tan importantes, pocos han discutido cómo podemos determinar si realmente se pueden usar de manera segura y efectiva. Como profesionales de la tecnología de la salud, creemos que es útil ver estos algoritmos de alto riesgo como medicamentos recetados o dispositivos médicos. Durante...

6 consejos para desarrollar una aplicación popular

6 Insider Tips For Developing A Popular App ROB JONSON, VENTUREBEAT The press loves an “app millionaire” — entrepreneurs that make big money as their products attract venture capital, or the assimilating hands and deep pockets of a technology giant like Apple or Google. Most developers will never live in that world. The majority will make their living as contractors or employees working on other people’s apps, but some make a living writing their own apps and releasing them in the various stores. I have been living off my own apps for a decade now. From the Treo 600, through the iPhone revolution and on to the growing popularity of Android. At the risk of sounding like a hoary old man of the hills, I’ve seen a lot...

¿Qué es ser cool en Silicon Valley?

Losing Our Cool Hey Silicon Valley: Stop co-opting cool. By Seth Stevenson Your tablet computer is not cool. Your rideshare app is not cool. Your TED Talk on mindful tweeting is—I hope you’ll agree—pretty clearly not cool. A million dollars isn’t cool. You know what’s cool? Nope, not that. I am here on an etymological mission. I’ve come to reclaim cool from Silicon Valley. Someone must rescue this once-useful word from the hordes of techies who misuse it. Long ago, in a time before geeks ruled the earth, the word cool had meaning. It meant, roughly: not giving a fuck. Or, on occasion: not giving two fucks. Look no further than the original, thermal sense of the word....

Ser ingeniero en software implica salarios cada vez más altos

Los ingenieros en software están ganando salarios de atletas profesionales SARAH MCBRIDE, REUTERS SAN FRANCISCO ( Reuters ) - Entre los ejecutivos mejor pagados de Twitter Inc, el nombre de Christopher Fry se destaca.

¿La oferta atrae a la demanda? (2/2)

Part II: How VCs Test Market Demand ED ZIMMERMAN: My last WSJ Accelerators piece focused on how successful repeat founders tested their offerings/company prior to their launch. In this installment, we turn to how VCs test market demand for a product when conducting diligence prior to investing. While this is important for founders like those discussed in the last article, without the track record those founders had, diligence on market adoption becomes even more important. So, what if you’re not David Chesky of HDTracks, Matt Keiser of LiveIntent, Amanda Hesser & Merrill Stubbs of Food52 or Craig Danuloff of Rewind.Me? What if, instead, you’re...

¿La oferta atrae a la demanda? (1/2)

Part I: Build It and They Will Come? ED ZIMMERMAN: “Passion. Instinct. That was it. Blind faith,” responded David Chesky, co-founder of HDTracks, when I asked him how he had tested the market before investing his time, reputation and cash to found his company and build his product. But let’s back up because I’ve been tweeting a lot about HDTracks — for instance, 9 months ago: RT @EdGrapeNutZimm: don’t need discounts, I’m sold @HDtracks -the only place2hear it all (liberate me from compressed formats) #Hifi #Music Why? Well, I’m a passionate music fan and an ignorant audiophile geek. That means I prefer tube amps over solid state, but I can’t explain the engineering...
