Remember: applications for the winter vintage of our network catalyst

more info below. Erik is joined on this episode by Richard Craib
(@richardcraib), founder of Numerai and Erasure, and Riva-Melissa Tez
(@rivatez), part of strategy at Intel. They discuss: \- What Richard is
working on at Numerai, a hedge fund that gives away its (anonymized) data for
free. \- The Erasure protocol and the value of information marketplaces. \-
Whether prediction markets for stocks can work. \- Whether the Numerai model
could work with other types of data, for example, in healthcare. \- Whether
the quality of startups in San Francisco is going down or up. \- The future of
universities. \- The lack of diversity of political views in San Francisco.
