I think this is a very interesting response. If it's true, then their diversity goal will be reached when the makeup of Google workforce is representative of the world population (assuming world population correlates well with Google

It's great to be open and all, but they never mention what their goal is. Do Google believe diversity is good for workplace cohesion, their own social mobility goals, good corporate moral policy, etc.? The data is interesting in it&#x2

I'm so torn by all these comments about whether Detroit has 'bounced back' or not. On one hand, it certainly seems like salaries, wages, rents, and prices are rising in the Detroit metro area, on the other hand parts of the c

One argument for why this is a bad idea has its roots in politics. Imagine if a candidate running for office (or any public figure) had the ability to santitize his search results to remove all 'bad' listings. The public perceptio

This is surprising to me because Kayak uses ITA Software [1] which is owned by Google. Perhaps Kayak has better relationships with the airlines than Google and cultivates more accurate pricing this way. [1] http://www.itasoftware

I'm pretty torn on this. In my main circle of Snapchat friends, we use the app to make creative messages for each other that can't be seen again. It's really special because it feels like we're all hanging out again back

They could probably double their resolution with an IR sensor under the keys, transparent elastomer, and IR-transparent plastic for keys. But they did mention sampling at 300Hz was an achievement so maybe they're running into some embe

Interesting. Is the community then driving content?

I worked on this concept for a school project [1] for the US market and I like the simplicity a lot. Are businesses pretty responsive in claiming their takeaways? [1] http://imgur.com/GhLBvb4

I'm too busy for something like this too, but I want to work on this pretty bad because, well, embarrassingly I'm a Catwang user. I think the 'insert randomly' is a nice feature, but if I were to work on this, I'd f

A laptop with a slide-out second (or third) screen for more screen space. Packaging and power consumption are big issues. Maybe a couple of years off until super thin, flexible OLED displays reach maturity.

I guess it's fairly obvious but it never really occurred to me that lobbyists and politicians go on retreats together. Is this beneficial? Is it ethical? Does ProPublica track these types of gatherings?

It's funny that defense and automotive are so similar in terms of tool chains for requirements. I like this IDE from an engineer standpoint, but I think the killer app will be automatic report-outs. I wouldn't have to spend hours

There are different ways of looking at this. Some I've come up with are ROI, happiness, and intelligence. If you quit working for two years and pay for school, will you gain money in the long term? When? If you are able to attend scho

Cool that you agree. Are your projects structured similarly?

From my perspective (automotive product development), this is called 'system design' or even 'product development'. We start from a use case, idea, feature 'want', whatever, and we move both up and down from t

Is there a way to embed a picture within a payment link? My friend could use this because her 'digital storefront' is literally Facebook and there's no way for her to sell things.

My own personal opinion is no, I wouldn't pay for this service. However, maybe the costs can be driven down by simplifying the solution. Instead of 'deliver wherever the customer wants,' only present the customer three opti

Just a note, automotive Ethernet PHYs exist [1] and there is some interest in real-time Ethernet applications (piggy-backing on an original audio use case, AVB) [2]. [1] http://www.broadcom.com/products/Physical-Layer&#

I'd doubt this. Hardware requires a supply chain and the suppliers try to sell to everyone, at least initially. The same guys that sell to Sony, sell to Microsoft, sell to Oculus, etc and there's a data exchange of 'what&#x27

I'm very interested in Musk's comment. Do you know where I can find a source? I do automotive product development and I've always felt that materials really do make a difference. I also feel that time can sometimes play a b

This resonates pretty well with me due to my current role in an organization. Did anyone own the execution side of the project to hold the designers accountable for late deliverables?

I wonder how intrinsic motivation is developed or cultivated. Another question I have is if intrinsic motivation can he created by external influence.
