His writing indicates he believes his readers are "more intelligent", and he believes that first borns are "more intelligent". So yeah, if you were a second born, who was more intelligent, you'd dismiss his blog as BS, and would not be counted among the survey respondents.
This sticker only works against this classifier. If you start changing the algorithm, you'd need to change the attack to match.
If you think you can write a better image classifier by first segmenting the image before using ML, then I encourage you to get your own computer vision paper published and see how that works for you.
That's foolish. The lead up time to become an expert at deep learning: Probably 6 years minimum.
No one hires people to do deep learning with 0 years experience.
Very few people with the skills you assume by default (basically anyone with programming skills) would be convinced to leave their cooshy jobs, but plenty of people with no skills or prospects would.
I have literally no idea how you could have reached the idea that you would be an indentured servant/bill collector. Is this some sort of post-truth propaganda?
This person spent every day eating alone with headphones on... for two years... Is it just me or is there an unspoken story here that has nothing to do with Google...
I think "falls apart" is overreaching. If the claim was that 21 states were targeted by russian hackers, and only two states repudiate that, that's less than a 10% error rate.
Keep in mind that state governments want to make sure they aren't deemed incompetent. But anyone who knows anything about "the cyber" knows that there are tons of legacy systems at both the state and federal level which are wide open to possible attacks.
The suggestion that an adversary could "scan" the networks is totally within the realm of plausability. This is the first step of a cyber attack, and while an individual state may be able to conclude that they weren't successfully attacked, it doesn't mean they weren't targeted to begin with.
Pretty skewed results.
