If someone really didn’t like amazon (Walmart) they would spend a lot of money testing products for dangerous materials and chemicals. Anyone want to bet counterfeit products and food from China has no lead or other contaminants in them? I

I wouldn't dive in to a full machine learning course as the first step. 1. Watch short tutorials about TensorFlow on Youtube 2. Look for lectures about specific topics that sound interesting. 3. Read NIPS papers that sound interesting

Right, but if even 5% of car mechanics were making Youtube videos only a few would still be able to make a meaningful amount of money off of them. A car mechanic capable of adapting to a new technology early, and building an audience off of

It could also be a way to offload sensitive processing & storage to a third party; e.g. Stripe. I'm leaning much more toward John Young's (Cryptome) viewpoint of information security -- smoke and mirrors. Maybe nothing is secu

It is also opening them to regulation from a lot more than Apple. It is hard enough for a large tech company to deal with conflicting demands of various governments over privacy & censorship. Create a currency and now you can add financ

Am I the only one who finds vanishing leg room a larger disturbance than TSA lines? The big airport crybabies are usually those who expect weather or mechanical problems to vanish by voice command. Unless you fly Spirit, I've seen mini

I would like to see some financial comparisons of operating an autonomous owned fleet vs current third party drivers. If Uber’s big moat is on the driver supply side, an autonomous fleet could wipe that away and hand the profits to Google &

I think a large percentage of time will be spent in virtual reality, making it less like living in a Siberian prison camp. Also note, this makes John Carmack's contribution to space colonization significant.

You can definitely make over $1m a year running a bootstrapped business. On the high end of the success scale you can walk away with more money than a successful VC backed co-founder. There are more businesses that are totally inappropriate

I offered to pay my contractors in bitcoin years ago and no one was interested. I told my friends they should by it, no one did, until this year. Some of them managed to do brilliant things like actively buy and sell yet not make a penny. T

These are a few things someone could think through in an afternoon. Perhaps too much of the self help and motivational encouragement people receive is to blindly press forward without thinking. No one thinks twice about checking the map&#x2

A usual Sunday afternoon for me as a young child was to cut pieces of wood with a pocket knife until I cut myself. Then I would go to my bedroom and read a book. I may or may not have learned anything.

I wonder what the actual liquidity is of converting BCH in to hard currency? (which ultimately miners need to pay for operations and capital expenditures.) It was blatantly obvious (to me) that something funny going on at MtGox meant the pr

Except at some point, if you are an engineer, you need to do actual engineering. I see more interesting stuff in my Twitter feed now than shows up on HN. This story has 74 comments, none of them actually mention the company that makes the p

After I got the spectacles here were the reactions I got, from people in the 21-35 demographic: First, wow I had no idea these existed Second, where can I get them Third, (months later) lost interest Snapchat should have just had a buy now
