I've got my travel blog https://kevinandsam.travel that I made with Gatsby and my personal blog https://kevinhughes.ca using Jekyll.

I still use Google Photos for my real time uploads/backup but I have been pretty impressed with Synology Moments for photos on my NAS. I use it for my historical library.

If you're interested I did something similar to what you describe for MarioKart http://kevinhughes.ca/blog/tensor-kart. Its a lot simpler than DOTA though

I've been waiting / hoping someone would build this! thanks!

cool I didn't know that - thanks for the info!

I disagree - do they still lock you to their db? if they do then you are going to have to do a lot of work if you want to move to a different platform

I agree I just moved from wordpress to middleman and disqus is a pain. Its so close to be a great thing but so far...

thank you

I highly recommend http://www.amazon.ca/Mastering-Opencv-Practical-Computer-Pro...

great post.

I've also spent a lot of time thinking about this problem and would like to eventually put some work towards it. A couple of additional ideas that I've had:

* A paper could rely on a critical reference to build upon and the referenced paper could be disproven down the line but this is not immediately obvious from the paper that used it.

* Currently it doesn't seem like any merit is given to researchers who are very good at reviewing papers. Compare this to software where a good code review is celebrated. Editing and cleaning up the state of science should be valued when scientists are looking for work so I think that something along the line of a Github CV for scientists would be valuable.

I have a BS in Mech Eng from there I got a MS in Computer Engineering working on Computer Vision and robotics. If you are good with python and care about good code then it should be no problem to switch.

I had an idea similar to this where when filing for a patent you include an estimate of R&D costs. If the patent is awarded then its lifetime is related to how long it takes to get a reasonable payout on the R&D investment.

This way big pharmaceuticals put a couple million into a new drug and they get to profit for a few years. An Apple engineer makes slide to unlock in a couple days and given the number of iphones sold the patent is over quite quickly.

tl;dr a salary cap for patents based on R&D cost

can you explain how this works?
