The price of a ticket was client-side authenticated!? I can't fathom the level of incompetence required to do something like this...

I don't know exactly what this company is looking for and how big a team you would be managing so it's hard to speak for them, however, an Engineering Manager is usually a pretty high level position and you should be expected to h

Well said, but I think you're missing the point. People aren't upset because they paid for something and got a nice experience (or not) out of it. They are upset because they paid for something and they still have not received it.

The company knows how to make great VR experiences but this is a bizarre move by Google. Historically, they've not been great in the game space (look at Ingress, or does anybody remember Lively.com)? I suppose you could argue this is t

I recall his biggest qualm with his current synthesized voice is that it did not come with a British accent. :-) I'm not sure how sentimental he is but he does seem quite tied to that voice since there have been lots of advancements in

I would say https://hackaday.com . It doesn't match the format exactly (i.e. story voting w/ aggregated scores for weighting to front page) but it is in the spirit of HackerNews.

Not to be overly pedantic but the Singularity is defined as the point at which AI has reached runaway growth during which it would improve itself beyond anything imaginable by humans. I think you're just talking about a self-replicatin

Curious; are Uber or Lyft drivers penalized at all for canceling? I had a Lyft driver a few weeks back call me and ask where I was, which is odd since the app tells him. Turns out he was on the wrong side of the street. Instead of just turn

Two things I'm not a fan of so far in the API design. 1) Function names are misleading or not descriptive enough. E.g. isAlpha(). I assumed this meant is alphanumeric, but it actually means isAlphabetic (as in no numeric values at all)

Would it be accurate to say that Meta is essentially a social network for researchers and scientists?

Very much agree. I get a ton of these personalized emails that go something like "Hey it's Joe from Startup A, thanks for using our product. Reach out and provide some feedback...". My first instinct is to reply back, thinkin

So the thing surprising about this is that Fitbit's stock just took a nosedive, their financials are questionable (but maybe the holidays will be good to them again) and they're acquiring a company in a market where there is a cle

My Airport Extreme finally died a few weeks ago and I replaced it with an OnHub (the TP-Link one). Couldn't be happier -- my Wifi range extends well beyond the perimeter of my house, speeds (appear) to be faster with less connection is

Wasn't clear from the article; did someone or a group of people break the law so that these ("illegal") bonuses could be paid? Basically, who (or what org) will be held accountable for this so that it won't happen again?

It's a 30 second read; you should just click on the link. If you really are that lazy; arduino.cc and arduino.org settled their dispute and have setup a holding company to organize device sales using he Arduino brand. In a addition, a

I've heard Health Insurance is pretty expensive if you are self-employed. How did you deal with that? Is your wife also employed in which case you are just able to share hers?

This is an interesting idea in that it basically becomes the store for post-kickstarter projects that had traction but not enough to negotiate a contract with major retailers. Great idea -- I hope it takes off (no pun intended).

I fondly remember QuakeWorld's release and I don't think that's a fair comparison at all. For instance, QuakeWorld was not a day 1 patch. Rather, it was a well planned update to the multiplayer parts of Quake that effectively

It's funny how he cites Carmack's plan/finger updates as a source of inspiration since these kind of changes went in over the course of the games development, not on a day 1 patch! If you consider the game on 'disc'

I believe in industry parlance this is called an Advertorial (an advertisement dressed as an editorial). I didn't see a disclaimer though so either they are being dishonest with their audience or very tone deaf. The NUC seems more like

I don't think the term Ponzi Scheme is correct but I'm not sure a name for this has been invented yet. Calling it a 'hustle' might be better but still doesn't express what is happening. VC's want to make money,

AI Fighter Pilots have been killing me in Flight Simulations for at least 30 years now using similar systems. From the paper, they basically use an expert system using something they call a Genetic Fuzzy Tree (GFT), which seems suspiciously
