It's outragious to prevent pharmacists from informing patients. Competitors to Best Buy should be free to differentiate themselves by counselling clients on how to save money.

Old cars are more dangerous; I'm glad to see natural selection getting rid of technophobes.

Every product in development is going to be secret, but Reuters tries to make it sounds as if some sort of conspiracy was going on. What's next? "Jeff Bezos secretly goes to the restroom"?

>Right now, their lenses can block light emitted from LCD and LED screens, but not OLED screens. Wired is saying "right now" as if with further development OLED screens could also be blocked. That's the typical misleading

I think people have a fixed amount of complaining they need to do, regardless of the environment they live in. As the standard of living improve, the outrages will more and more concern non important things.

If we know that we are in a simulation, then we can try to break out of it and enter the real world.

If you care about security, don't use a browser.

"We are not anti-union, but we are not neutral either" It either means that they are pro-union, or that a very dumb amazonian wrote this.

Brian Acton turned down way more than this guy ever made, so I say he is already pretty cool.

I remember when SO came out, it completely destroyed expertsexchange.com in a matter of months. Is there today any equivalent to expertsexchange that could similarly be "disrupted"?

How an individual can leave $850M on the table to prove a point blows my mind. I'm in awe at that guy, but I can't help but think that with $850M he could have funded so many interesting projects/research.

Exactly my point, which I thought was obvious enough I didn't elaborate.

Twitter is hard to scale, you have to make trade-offs all over the place. AFAIK that's not the case of Shazam where a read-only database would be enough. Sure eventually you have to manage multiple versions of your app and be able to g

Yes shazam's algorithm is aktually pretty simple math, but there's nothing wrong with creating a busines sbased on simple tech! Like most companies in tech, it's the business part that is hard, not the technical part.

The "We're going to keep it in the lab until it's perfect" approach is because (unlike spaceX) if they fuck up people will die.

Overall a good article. I learned that speed should depend on the screen size, something I had never thought about. What I don't understand is that we are not supposed to use motion blur. Is it only because it's hard to do right?

I have only one question: is it 0-based?

Fantastic project! A fun alternative for the players model that also takes little space is to slice up the model into horizontal layers. See http://www.like100bears.com/writing/2d-3d-in-gamemaker-studi... for example.

That's also less than what a contractor on say 10000 EUR/day would make.

After thoroughly reading your post and thinking about it for quite a while I came to realize that you had made an excellent and thoughtful point that should be made known to a broader audience.

> Will you be able to use AMP without ever touching Google servers/services? Well yeah, and AFAIK it was always the case. If you use Bing, you'll touch MS's AMP cache.
