It seems like the root cause of all this is advertising. Social media companies need attention grabbing features to draw eyes on ads, makes you wonder if we'd still be facing this dilemma of social media was sites were a paid service.

26 year old Intel employee here. Totally get where you're coming from but would like to mention that Intel is a gigantic company. I know 20+ year vets who have had 3-4 different careers here. From the comments floating around in our in

No thanks. Look, I understand where this guy is guy is coming from, but as a black man the last place you'd find me is near a self proclaimed Klansman.

Absolutely, there is a great Ezra Klein show podcast on this topic, I would recommend everyone listen. I'm on mobile so can't link but if you search "Ezra Klein show prosecutor discretion" it should come up.

I've never heard of this product but it's sad to see it not work out. There is a huge gap when it comes to black media representation in the United States specifically and I believe it will be a huge opportunity to whoever can tap

Once you reach a certain size I think it makes sense to explore rolling your own infrastructure but for an MVP or early stage startup not having to worry about infrastructure has got to be a god send. I recall hearing Kevin Systrom (Instagr

It's a bit surprising to see that they've raised so much. Given that Eaze is only available in California and they will need a very local approach to deal with city by city and state by state regulations which have slight differen

Ah I see, I'm referring to the message transaction from trainer to player.

HN loves to deride ML for not releasing a product but I have been severely underwhelmed by AR/VR technology over the past few years. I believe only Snapchat has truly hit the lotto. I don't mind them taking their time to deliver t

Intel spent billions on Altera, MobileEye and Movidus, it's hard to say they aren't making any investments.

by 40acres 9y ago
I definitely get the sentiment that Intel may pull the rug under this product like they have in the maker space. But Intel spent billions to acquire Movidius and this is a space where they believe the business needs to pivot to if Intel is

Talk about judging a book by its cover. Surprised as well that this sort of sentiment comes from a forum which loves to complain about hiring practices in tech.

What's that term where you learn of a new concept or word and then immediately see it referenced soon after learning it? In rereading zero to one by Peter Theil I came across the Lindy effect and here and now I've come across the
