JA$1.67/min per minuteNew ArrivalAlgaeJames A BoweryCreated 9 years ago in Technology / OtherA broad ranging career, at the forefront of technology, led to technical marketing research with a founder of the United States Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration, finding markets for US CO2 effluent in a comprehensive plan for United States energy and environment. The plan included macroengineering systems design to photosynthesize gigatonnes of CO2/year from all US electric generation. Located breakthrough photobioreactor technology essential to commodity price points yielding market penetration at the required scale. This work was preceded by early (1980s) involvement with the Sierra Club's global climate committee, promoting carbon trading, rather than direct regulatory intervention, and influenced the policies of President George H. W. Bush's administration.James A BoweryNew Arrival

JA$1.67/min per minuteNew ArrivalArtificial IntelligenceJames A BoweryCreated 9 years ago in Technology / InnovationConceived the Hutter Prize for Lossless Compression of Human Knowledge in 2005, based on his early recognition of the, now, widely accepted breakthrough mathematical theory of universal artificial intelligence, AIXI, developed at the Swiss AI Lab, IDSIA, by Marcus Hutter. Hutter, himself, underwrote the prize in 2006. Hutter's first PhD students went on to found DeepMind Technologies in 2010, which was purchased by Google in 2014 for a half billion dollars and is now known as Google DeepMind – the flagship AI project of Alphabet Corporation: Google's holding company. Bowery's colleague at Diogenes Institute was credited by the Chronicle of Higher Education's article "The Believers: The hidden story behind the code that runs our lives" as being the "mystery man" who first supported deep learning neural networks: The other technological basis for Google DeepMind.James A BoweryNew Arrival

Jim was always, not only on top of things, but most often years ahead of everyone else when I knew him at Control Data Corp. We all appreciated his views on were the future lay. 30 years later, those that doubted, will understand how "right" he was. He did great work from my point of view, although I could only understand the smallest parts of it. A great guy to have worked with.
Source: LinkedIn Barry Doolittle Nov 18, 2013Build an exchange optimized for API use.
Although the current exchanges vary considerably in the quality of their APIs, they are all amateurish.
For example, the best of the lot, MtGox, provides a real-time stream, which, risibly, the others do not, but MtGox's real time stream relies on TCP/IP's retransmission protocol to ensure no losses. This means application layer failures will violate the integrity of TCP/IP's retransmission protection. All MtGox provides is a timestamp on its streaming events -- which means you cannot be sure you have received all events. This can cost automated traders serious money.
Professional financial applications need serious integrity.
For example, when SAIC contracted with the city of Orlando to automate their toll road collection, the contract stipulated that any losses due to failure to report transactions would be paid directly out of SAIC's pocket. I wrote the transaction telecommunications protocol to have an application-level serial number combined with a multiply redundant, distributed audit trail of the transactions created in real time so that central accounting could always be assured that they could detect the loss of a transaction in transmission and, upon such detection, be assured that when they queried the network for the point in the stream where the missing transaction occurred, the stream would still be retrievable from that point.
Transaction transmission reliability is just one example of the opportunity.
