I never want to predict the relationship between music and advertising.
You can’t predict it all. People will tell you to plan things out as best you can. They will tell you to focus. They will tell you to follow your dreams. They will all be right.
It’s impossible to predict crises – or to control them once they hit – but you can absolutely prime yourself to ride them out as best as possible.
I think it’s almost impossible for any expert to predict for the rapid changes we see in the Middle East. They are rapid and they will continue for quite a while.
Being in London has really taught me how important history is. Just having information of the past. It helps you predict the future, which is all we really have as, you know, humans.
Maps help us in tracking our cabs – if they’re idle, headed for a booking, or in the midst of a trip. With custom systems built atop maps using available APIs, we are able to manage our inventory extremely well, predict ETAs for customers, and optimally allocate the nearest cab to a booking request.
Life is full of things that you can’t predict.
A lot of people would say history is important because it helps us to predict the future. I don’t think that it does particularly. What it really teaches you is that things have not always been the same, and they don’t have to be the way they are.
But while we can never predict where events will take us or the unavoidable bills we will have to pay as a consequence, we must confront the ghastly truth of Labour’s legacy.
I find that predicting the course of our lives is like predicting the weather. You might be able to predict your future in the short term, but the longer you look ahead, the less likely you are to be correct.
Every string theory that’s been written down says the speed of light is universal. But other ideas about quantum gravity predict the speed of light has actually increased.
When I helped to develop the open standards that computers use to communicate with one another across the Net, I hoped for but could not predict how it would blossom and how much human ingenuity it would unleash.
The false prophets of Communism predict a utopian society.
And if my 10-year-old is Googling or looking on YouTube then she’s got to do it in a room where we’re present. We’ve put all the child safety settings in place, but you still can’t predict what might turn up on a YouTube or Google search.
One of my few shortcomings is that I can’t predict the future.
If you look at suburban education in New Jersey and New York, it’s pretty strong, intact, doing a pretty good job. You cap taxes for those communities, can we reasonably predict it’s going to be as strong 20 years from now?
While politicians may be forgiven for failing to predict the future – who can, alas? – it is amazing that they defiantly ignore the past.
I write first drafts by hand. Never do I open an umbrella inside the house. I don’t predict wins or losses. I used to stand on a certain piece of rug if my brothers and husband were watching football and their team got in trouble – but now the luck went out of that rug. If a circle is involved, I try to go clockwise.
Just, you never know what the next day is going to bring. That goes for football, goes for off the field, and I gave up a long time ago trying to predict the future and trying to deal with things I couldn’t deal with.
But that’s the great thing about MMA, you know, you can never predict what’s going to happen.
It’s very weird about movies: you never know which ones are going to stay alive and which one are going to be meaningless. When you’re there, you couldn’t possibly predict it. Some things slowly die, and others slowly stay a while.
I’ve had mainstream readers complain that the book is really a romance, and romance readers complain that the book isn’t a romance – with the same book! It really depends on the individual reader’s expectations going into the story, and that’s very hard to predict person to person.
You can keep rummaging around until you find a song you like, but you can’t predict whether it’ll hit or not.
One of the things we did at PayPal was collaborative filtering and machine learning: looking at patterns of human behavior. We used it there to predict when people would try to cheat the system to get money. But you can predict pretty much any behavior with a certain amount of accuracy.
I can never predict what the markets will do. Sometimes it does the exact opposite of what I would have expected.
If I knew where I was going, I wouldn’t do it. When I can predict or plan it, I don’t do it.
I predict that technology will enable people to transmit their neuronal, actual feelings over the Internet.
The problem in cinema is that you can never predict what will happen.
We cannot even predict what kinds of emergent properties would appear when animals begin interacting as part of a brain-net. In theory, you could imagine that a combination of brains could provide solutions that individual brains cannot achieve by themselves.
You can’t predict what someone else is going to do and when someone else is going to leave.
Science has not yet mastered prophecy. We predict too much for the next year and yet far too little for the next 10.
In order to predict effectively, we need to use science. And the reason that we need to use science is because then we can reproduce what we’re doing; it’s not just wisdom or guesswork. And if we can predict, then we can engineer the future.
In boxing and politics, you cannot predict results. You should be ready to go 12 rounds. But if you win in the first round, you should be ready to be the winner quickly.
Until his dying days, Steve Jobs could not only predict the direction the marketplace would be heading, but help drive it there.
However, the models also predict unambiguously that the atmosphere is warming faster than the surface of the earth; but all the available observational data unambiguously shows the opposite!
I have an abundance of enthusiasm; however, it would be foolish to think I can predict a future that doesn’t exist.
There’s a company in Boston called Ginger IO that has a smartphone app that can predict, two days before you get depressed, that you’re going to get depressed.
Health care has a lot of interesting machine-learning problems – outpatient outcomes, or when you have x-ray images and you want to predict things.
There was no way to predict that ‘This is Us’ was going to be what it is, that it would really resonate with people.
Daily soaps are unpredictable, and one can’t predict when the track changes.
Our ancient forebears who learned to synchronize the movements of dance were those with the capacity to predict what others around them were going to do and signal to others what they wanted to do next. These forms of communication may well have helped lead to the formation of larger human communities.
I’ve learned through experience that you can’t ever predict what’s going to happen with any show. When I signed on to ‘Ugly Betty,’ I just prayed that I wouldn’t get fired after the pilot, and four years later, I was still doing it.
Most of the women in Greek tragedies have their fates predetermined. The gods dictate that such and such will happen to them, and everything they predict comes true. Not Medea.
The only way to predict the future is to have power to shape the future.
You can’t predict injuries. That’s one thing you can’t do.
You wouldn’t want to underestimate the perfidy of the government. I have no doubt that the government will need to increase revenues substantially to avoid default on either debt or social welfare promises. How they will increase those revenues, I can’t predict.
Coorg will be the new Switzerland, Goa will be the new Thailand. If we predict these trends correctly, while market size may shrink, we will have a good opportunity to use our model.
You must always be able to predict what’s next and then have the flexibility to evolve.
It is not scientifically possible to accurately predict the outcome of an action. To suggest otherwise runs contrary to historical experience and the nature of war.
The nice thing about asteroids is that once you’ve found them, and once you have a good solid orbit on them, you can predict a hundred years ahead of time whether there is a likelihood of an impact with Earth.
No one can predict the future.
Networks love data. They love to be able to look at numbers and try to predict what they think will work.
This is why sports will always be the greatest of dramas; the most exciting entertainment known to man. Nobody can predict the outcome and the script is ever in flux.
When you’re acting in a movie, you never consider the reception of it. It’s impossible to predict how something will be received. Even if you think it’s the greatest thing in the world, other people might not like it. Or agree with it.
Democrats can neither control nor predict whether our GOP counterparts are really ready to play chicken with the U.S. economy. But we can assure the American people that our party takes the nation’s faith and credit seriously.
You never know what curve balls life is going to throw you and there’s no way I can predict anything or make any assumptions about what the rest of my life is going to be like.
