Agree. There seems to be a consensus in the art world about that. Do you think though that at some point the creators of the algorithm and people whose images are used as training sets etc should get some value out of it?

Agree, it's not either-or is it?

This is huge. Quoting from a piece linked below.

"Now, here’s my not-so-big bet: Jio will not make its magic number of 100 million customers in one year. The person who offers me the best odds before end of Saturday on a $200 bottle of a single malt is on.

In fact, more from my smoky mirror: Jio will struggle for at least a few years before it starts making a dent in the telecom market." http://goo.gl/hH7Fai

That's probably what he meant. I'm Indian. I didn't go deep into what software etc, so apologies for what might come across as a loose comment. And agree with all of you about much of fundamental software coming from various nations. Can't be of any one country.

I was at the Alipay headquarters a few weeks ago. What caught my eye was a large IBM machine kept outside the office with lots of signatures on them. When I asked them what it was, they said this was the last piece of American technology the company used and they'd kept it as a trophy. They've replaced every thing else in the company with Chinese tech. That's quite something for a company which processes millions of transactions in a day.

Here's what Flipkart is planning to do about it.

- Shrink marketplace model. - Increase inventory led sales. - Tighter quality control. - Work with large retailers & cut down on the seller base. - Bring back private labels. - Build financial services ecosystem.

Thanks for sharing this. These numbers are phenomenal!

I hope they don't. Isn't all that great for Indian startups as it is.

Lol! They only said no ads on Whatsapp! Also, Google does the same to your e-mail.

Adds to the sharing economy. But a whole lot of questions on safety.

Never thought this day would come so soon!

Big blow to virtual currency from an emerging market leader.

I find it hard to believe that Facebook offered to put a man on the job for one of these companies.

Elections are near!

One would imagine that scientists believe less in rituals. ISRO scientists pray at the Thirupathi temple before every mission.

Much of the designs & research is "adapted". Hence, cheaper?

It's terrible, the way politicians fear social media. On the flip side, there have been real instances of panic spreading widely through the internet.

Bad timing!

India, which claims to be a democracy, must bat for free speech, privacy and expression. It is funny that China, often branded as an autocratic country, for whatever reasons, is doing it.

Smells of another scam

Its about the size of a Tata Nano, if you are familiar with the world's "cheapest" car. The previous version of Reva used to run in Europe registered as a heavy quadricycle. http://revacars.com/
