I was a freelancer with no network 10 years back. I used to get cheap projects and some crappy clients. Some 5 years back, I got to work at a startup (luck and my relentless application to jobs did the trick). I had to move away from my hom

Why do you need generic AI to solve driving? Driving is a system of visual recognition followed by path planning. You see what is on the road and then decide acceleration, brake and steering angle. Enlighten me if there is anything more to

I build products in India. You do not understand how the technology works. Driverless technology is AI based i.e. it learns the same way a human does. All it requires is training, a lot of training, 10000 hours or more. I am working on self

IMO, WebRTC is the technology which will make browsers trump apps. Especially, now as iOS 11 starts shipping with support for it.

In my hometown, Darjeeling (India), Internet has been blocked since June 17, 2017 by the government to censor the citizens of the area. Media doesn't cover us well as its a small town. How do we Battle for the Internet? How can we drum

Yes they scan the biometrics and I allow it. But do they make it the password for different services? Coz thats where its headed. Authentication and Authorisation are not the same thing.

Technology should take those decisions for you. Others like Google will show how to do that.

There was a time when Apple products were user friendly but now we need guides. They said technology would ease our lives. I'm disappointed with this shift at Apple where they want to look and sound cool rather than be useful.

I can confirm with proof that they spread incorrect information and will not fix it even if you bring it to their notice. i.e. Fake News propagator.

They have world's top engineers, designers and dollars! And they use reporters send out an apology. Can't even do it directly to its users/fans. Reading the content it feels like a damage control PR. Apple has lost its way. T

Ha Ha! I have spent way too much time staring at 3D printers to get a good print! :)

Let me first apologise for the late response. I am sorry I had forgotten about this thread. The best 3D printer IMO is the Original Prusa sold by Josef Prusa himself. shop.prusa3d.com 3D Hubs also has a great section on 3D Printer reviews a

The Da Vinci is _not_ a Makerbot knockoff. Its a printer based on open source designs of Reprap. Makerbot should never get credit for it after they chose to leave the community. Markerbot is actually a Reprap ripoff! That said, I will be wa

They kept serving an old image even after I flushed it multiple times. The image had an old discount code which customers presented us. We had to respect that even though we were technically not running the offer and was financially tough.

They put out a blogpost while their support keeps stonewalling and denying any such issues. Nor do they reply on twitter or even tweet the blogpost. This seems too little too late. Disclaimer: I am currently a customer who had financial los
