Hi, do you have any idea how one goes about making a liquid mode for mobile pdf readers like the adobe pdf app? I am often commuting and have to read on my mobile but I am limited by the fact that adobe only allows 200 pages or less files to be rendered to liquid mode. I would be interested in helping develop this app ( I am not a programmer by profession but have been learning for a few years on my part time)

What does a Top Coder mean? Its people who write the Stack Overflow answers and not the ones who copy them.

Thank you for the detailed reply. Sadly killing off Logic based AI isn't the only crime we can attribute to pencil pushers. But I had some intuition I wanted to ask about.

Can a sort of vaguely type theory based - and I mean like in the sense of programming be used to reason about law and the like?

Like suppose some article says a man should pay 20% income tax but it says in some other act of some other law that a man shall pay 30% income tax. Like obviously I'm just giving an example but I mean like long cryptic legalese busting. Can we detect contradictions or show that the law or agreement esp like say something like TPP or whatever is inconsistent, by defining types and transactions?

I'm sorry I couldn't word it better. But I hope you get a gist of what I'm saying.

I am just a lay man interested in the field, but like it sort of makes sense that you can have logical rules and inference, like I mean the whole point of AI as usually conceptualized was that they understood logic, like insert your fav Dr Who/Star Trek joke here, but briefly speaking what happened? I get the charm of ML/DL but it's essentially like data fitting or something. Wouldn't you expect logic in AI? What went wrong and what is the state of the art now?

Two pane window managers with a third pane for previews because I keep downloading pdfs and shit and I really need to know what is inside pog3715.pdf

The Goldman method is to live in the office from 6 to 9 at night 7 days a week is 105 hours. Just sleep with your secretary. Hang out with your bros and expense it. Always be billing. No one who's is office for a 100 hours a week is actually working a 100 hours. Just expense everything, snort coffee and drink cocaine. This is the way.

DukeBaset | 5 years ago | on: What’s up with these new not-open source licenses?

Side query but can their be like a Defanger license that everyone other than FAANG companies can use? Just so you know, to make em bleed... Or at least a clause that FAANG has to pay to use the software but it is open-source for everyone else just to level playing grounds?
