ET phone home . . .
A former Twitter employee blamed the company’s head of trust and safety, Del Harvey, after the platform locked out thousands of conservative users overnight, in what has been dubbed the “Twitter lock out.”
Although some accounts were unsuspended today, it is unclear how many remain banned, with some conservatives reporting that all or most of their followers have returned.Mashable reports that conservative users were inaccurately flagged as bots and locked out of their accounts. Locked-out users were asked to provide a phone number to regain access.

History[edit] AIO Robotics CES 2016 AIO Robotics was founded in May 2013 by Jens Windau, Dr. Kai Chang, and Dr. Christian Siagian.[1] The founding team comes from a unique mix of robotics, artificial intelligence, and computer vision; and previously worked together at the robotics labs of the University of Southern California. Their vision is to build user-friendly, stand-alone, all-in-one systems to improve user experience in 3D technology.[2] AIO Robotics' first product was named ZEUS, the first and only device that allows users to 3D scan, print, copy, and fax objects with a touch of a button from one device.[3] In May 2013, the founding team was accepted into the Viterbi Startup Garage, one of the university's accelerator programs. AIO Robotics received $20,000 in funding, work space, and strategic and financial resources from the university and its partners Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and United Talent Agency.[4] In Fall 2013, AIO Robotics went to Kickstarter to seek funding for their first 3D printer prototype ZEUS.[5] Their Kickstarter project exceeded its $100,000 goal in 24 hours.[6] Inc. named AIO Robotics a "Startup to Watch" at CES 2014.[7] In May 2014, AIO Robotics made ZEUS available for pre-order. Techcrunch described the ZEUS as a "3D Printer, Scanner, And Teleportation Machine All in One".[8] The company started shipping fully assembled ZEUS machines in Fall 2014 from their manufacturing location in Taiwan.[9] AIO Robotics announced a strategic partnership with Santec in August 2015 for investment, distribution, and co-development.[10] AIO Robotics' customer base includes educational institutes, libraries, prototyping laboratories, and hobbyists.[11]

Worldwide[edit] Aircraft[edit] Boeing and Airbus have a duopoly over the airliner market.[21] General Electric, Pratt and Whitney and Rolls-Royce plc own more than 50% of the marketshare in the airliner engine market.[citation needed] Aircraft tires is dominated by a four firm oligopoly that controls 85% of market share.[22] Finance[edit] Three credit rating agencies (Standard & Poor's, Moody's, and Fitch Group) dominate their market and extend their crucial importance into the financial sector. See Big Three (credit rating agencies). The accountancy market is dominated by PriceWaterhouseCoopers, KPMG, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and Ernst & Young (commonly known as the Big Four)[23] Credit card processing is dominated by Visa and Mastercard.[24] Food[edit] Three leading food processing companies, Kraft Foods, PepsiCo and Nestlé, together achieve a large proportion[vague] of global processed food sales. These three companies are often used as an example of "Rule of three",[25] which states that markets often become an oligopoly of three large firms. Nestlé, The Hershey Company and Mars, Incorporated together make most of the confectionery made worldwide. Technology[edit] Intel and AMD are the only two major players in desktop CPU market worldwide. Microsoft, Sony, Valve, and Nintendo dominate the video game platform market. Nvidia and AMD together make most of the chips for discrete graphics.

Edwin Thompson Jaynes (July 5, 1922 – April 30,[1] 1998) was the Wayman Crow Distinguished Professor of Physics at Washington University in St. Louis.
He wrote extensively on statistical mechanics and on foundations of probability and statistical inference, initiating in 1957 the maximum entropy interpretation of thermodynamics[2][3] as being a particular application of more general
Bayesian/information theory techniques (although he argued this was already implicit in the works of Gibbs).
In 1963, together with Fred Cummings, he modeled the evolution of a two-level atom in an electromagnetic field, in a fully quantized way. This model is known as the Jaynes–Cummings model.
A particular focus of his work was the construction of logical principles for assigning prior probability distributions; see the principle of maximum entropy, the principle of transformation groups[4][5] and Laplace's principle of indifference. Other contributions include the mind projection fallacy.
Jaynes' posthumous book, Probability Theory: The Logic of Science (2003) gathers various threads of modern thinking about Bayesian probability and statistical inference, develops the notion of probability theory as extended logic, and contrasts the advantages of Bayesian techniques with the results of other approaches. This book was published posthumously in 2003 (from an incomplete manuscript that was edited by Larry Bretthorst). An unofficial list of errata is hosted by Kevin S. Van Horn
