I worked with the Tango tablet a bit when it was released as a dev kit, and it worked decently well (as far as I remember). The biggest problem seemed to be that it never really got past the "dev kit" stage, as far as I'm awa

I have no data to back this up, but my expectation is that this is mostly a result of two things: 1. It's often surprisingly difficult to fire an underperformer (anecdata: a friend of mine has lost multiple talented members of his team

Related question: How does one balance objective, numbers-driven reporting like this with the terms of an NDA? I imagine that most companies would consider the financial impact (or other similar statistics) of many features to be a trade se

As far as I'm aware, there aren't any LEO satellite internet providers at the moment (a few in GSO, but the latency there is probably too long to make it relevant for trading), so I think that it just isn't an option. It'

I was lucky enough to meet Keahi at a World's Fair Nano in SF a few years ago and chat with him a bit afterwards as well. He's a really smart guy, and his boots are awesome, but I have to echo a few other commenters here: he seeme

You're getting at the heart of it here, I think. The CEO's job in this case was to gather the information necessary to make a good decision about which robot to purchase, then use her (hopefully) experienced judgement to make the

I'm not arguing that this is the way it SHOULD be, but as far as I can tell the difference stems from a perceived difference in "area of effect". For example, an assembly line worker's job is to physically make as many w

I agree completely, but I still think it's interesting to explore the data behind WHY hardware is hard. As a hardware founder who went the Kickstarter path (along with 56% of hardware companies), a lot of what the article says about e

This seems to be an unpopular opinion for some reason, but I don't think the core of what you're saying is wrong. There was an article on HN a few weeks ago about how Twitter was originally meant to be the "pulse of the plan

There's no doubt that Amazon has much more established delivery logistics than Uber at this point, but I wonder if the real value would come from another angle: Uber has been pushing hard on self-driving cars (I mean, in the long term,

While this is probably different for different people, I tend to agree that meetups aren't conducive to learning. The format definitely has something to do with it too - most meetups I've attended are monthly events with very high

As far as my (admittedly limited) experience goes, I'd say you're right. I'm currently learning about the intricacies of manufacturing in China through a trial-by-fire of manufacturing some components for our company's

This particular technique has its problems, as has been mentioned by other people. I would think inverting and cancelling is much more useful in situations where you can isolate the background noise in real time. For example, I do a littl
