Xihelm is reinventing how city infrastructure is managed using our Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision platform. We now improve maps using the visual world. And that's just the beginning.

Xihelm has received substantial investment from Entrepreneur First and others. We were invited to pitch at Facebook and at the Home Office. Other achievements include winning a Greater London Authority competition for smart cities and having real enterprise customers.

We are starting to tackle interesting research projects in the field of deep learning. Do you love machine learning as much as we do? Like to implement state-of-the art research papers? Think creatively? Like challenges?

We work woth Python, C++, SQL, Theano, Tensorflow, Keras ... and you can be employee #2.

I morphed it in to a web development business that did OK, then worked out it was easier working for someone else (got my life-work balance better) - in a VC-backed startup that ultimately got acquired.

I left to finish my degree. Got confused for a year and did a bit of sales. Then another startup that I couldn't get off the ground (services marketplace) - perhaps insanely ambitious.

Then I trained as a teacher (forgot that), teaching inner city kids how to add up.

I now work at Google in partnerships, where I am largely happy, married, get to travel a lot - and occasionally still 'get the itch' ...

We don't recommend putting tags in Google Tag Manager that manipulate on-screen elements due to the asynchronous behaviour.

I think that for complex sites you have a good point on letting anyone publish tags. Fortunately, it's possible to allow users just to view and edit tags - and not publish them. This leaves the testing and publishing to IT - our testing interface is pretty good - perhaps you could test it :)

The speed up is really around asynchronous firing of tags and for that it may not matter where code is hosted. This should help in situations with either synchronous or poorly designed code (in some situations it may not lead to a measurable improvement).

You've got a good point - we've got more work to do explaining this topic. Thanks for the feedback!

We can help with updating tags (please reach out to your Account Manager), or please reach out to me in my profile.

I manage this product here at Google (for the USA).

We think that it should speed up site loading (in most cases) by asynchronously wrapping your other synchronous and asynchronous JavaScript tags.

We've included built in templates for our own tags at first though we will be introducing easier support for third-party tags soon (templating). At the moment you can do this by adding custom img or Javascript tags in the interface.

This product has most impact where you want to add/remove multiple affiliate tracking or remarketing tags (for instance), across your whole site quickly and easily.

Hope that helps.

Perhaps consider a different name - socialisingStartups.com ?

  3^2 = 9
  3^1 = 3  (divide 9 by 3)
  3^0 = 1  (divide 3 by 3)
  3^-1 = 1/3  (divide 1 by 3)
  etc

Unfortunately this doesn't really handle 0^0 but fortunately 10 year olds are rarely that difficult.

Not everyone is employed. Some people have unusual relationships (internships?).

Can we have a vote on this?

How will this be enforced?

What's PG's take on this?

That said, it's kind of a neat way to find which site is paying the most for my books. Kudos for a simple execution.

Great poll, though we may be missing some information here.

(This is in the interests of fairness and not out of any personal bias.)

I personally can't see significant problems of this over any survey technique.

There are problems with questionnaires and self-responses, sure, but to say they are worthless is to exclude an entire category of data based on a selective opinion. Horses for courses, if you like.

Many statistical methods are available, some of which are more appropriate than others in particular situations. There is little wrong with convenience sampling if what is of primary importance is convenience, e.g.

(That being said, I'd be careful with taking the results of this poll and applying it to any technology site and therefore the interwebs etc. Inferring from this data that we don't have an ageing population problem would be dangerous).

It does say this fairly clearly - although the author is correct in that by determining the outcome on the server side means that even if the game isn't completed, you can still be credited for the win.

There is even an option to bypass scratch card play and get the prize immediately (Reveal Instant Wins outcome automatically.)

There isn't really much skill involved offline (compared to none online). That being said, I wonder how many people don't spot winning prizes when they buy a ticket in the store - if I find a ticket, I might check!

That being said, more and more searches are using ever increasing numbers of search term words, and that can get spammy.

Google make no secret of investing in search and the presence here of Matt Cutts is testament to the fact that we(?) are listening, with very frequent algorithmic tweaks and responses.

I don't feel it's useful comparing Facebook's "like" system with a search engine. Whilst it is useful to know what friends think of things, this can also be gamed by smart marketers.

I don't think it sucks - but there are use cases and perhaps for certain users where the experience indeed sucks. I for one have been using the 'spam flag' extension for Chrome and feel that something can be done with the results. Perhaps this will help?

(my opinions are my own and not necessarily that of my employer).

That being said, a growing NY engineering staff probably don't want to be in Garden City.
