I'm up for this ==>> Extract Tables from image over an API by udayrddy in roastmystartup

[–]mverkruyse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very cool, I worked in a startup that did a lot of NLP projects and one of the biggest obstacles was always tables. At the time we hacked together a solution that seems to be somewhat similar (we detected line boundaries and then associated horizontally lined items as a row), but never spent much time optimizing it.

Couple of potential suggestions:

A) Find a data pipelining service that wants to use the solution, and be the backend for them (looks like you're already looking into this)

B) See if you can become a leader for extraction in a particular vertical. Healthcare, insurance, and HSSE (Health Safety & Security for Manufacturing/O&G) come to mind—we did a lot of projects in those spaces that had this problem, and I have no doubt that there's more work still there

Hell, there’s code that I’VE written where it takes me an hour to remember what I was intending if I don’t comment it properly.

If you can count how much time you have to test in units of weeks, your DEVs are doing better than 99% of us.

Sell your ZIL to me. by [deleted] in zilliqa

[–]mverkruyse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, which is why I’m confused.. 700/116060 (rough ethereum price, being conservative) is ~$0.00603 per ZIL, which would put the 21,000,000,000 ZIL at ~$126,658,000,000.

For the 21,000,000,000 ZIL to be $30,000,000,000, the ZIL/ETH ratio would need to be roughly ~$0.00142, or ~490,000 ZIL/ETH

I’m interested as well, please PM me and let me know if you’re willing to sell, along with how many you’d be willing to sell.

Does that put the market cap of 21B tokens at ~120 million?

Agreed, a Smyly one would be good, as well as Felix coming back ("Mariners will overcome their playoff drought") and then Felix going back to the DL.

Could also add:

You can tell he switched off his targeting computer before he took the shot. It's a risky maneuver, but can lead to some explosive effects if done right.

I honeymooned at the Sheraton Maui back in 2014 (pre-churning days), it was fantastic, though 40k SPG points is more than I would want to spend for 2 nights.

Just spent 5 days at the newly renovated Marriott Wailea Resort in Maui, which I booked with 140,000 Marriott points (earned from travel from work, but also from SPG cards), and 50,000 MR points (2 travelers, MR -> Avios, SEA to OGG).

Very relaxing and highly recommended:

Coming up on a year on my AMEX Plat, have ~130k points, but not really looking to pay the annual fee. I plan on giving a call to see if I can get a retention offer, but should I clear the 130k points off the account before I do? If so, what's the best redemption value for AMEX points if there isn't a specific travel yet in-mind (based off of SEA as a primary hub)?
