When people talk about handling in these contexts, I always wonder what they mean. Unless you take your car to the track, all your driving is either on residential roads, where you obviously (hopefully) won't be going fast, or on freew

Uber's product is the company's stock. All of their "AI" and "self-driving" stunts so far have been transparent hype fuel that anyone with the slightest domain knowledge knows have no practical significance. Th

This could be a great launch point for a new generation of (very) smart TVs. Combined with what Microsoft is doing with HoloLens, they seem to be very well positioned for the future of communication devices.

Interesting answers on lack of gender diversity in IT: Most of the men believe the reason is that there just aren't that many women entering the field, while almost all the women blame bias at various stages of education, hiring and pr

I would use any taxi company that charged me the price up front, paid through the app, calculated based on distance from source to destination and some heuristics about time-of-day, time-of-year, etc. The driver would be incentivized to get

Very nice, and a great test bed for AI code. Lots of low hanging fruit, like follow-ups to specific branches of conversation, extracting certain information from the spammers replies to make the answers look more real, etc. Someone should o

You two disagree. One of you will have a law that shoves something down your throat.

Cutting like this creates an environment of paranoia and completely destroys morale. Though perhaps employees at Goldman Sachs understand and accept this as their terms of employment. Definitely something to bear in mind if considering a jo

I have an S6 edge and I regret that purchase pretty much every day, specifically because i can't pick up the phone without causing a touch event somehow. Love the design though, so if they just made the side edges touch-free I would be

The impression I got from studying the subject is that it is actually rigged, as in deliberately designed like that. Unfortunately I usually don't remember the details, only my takeaway, but I read very good objective treatise on the s

This kind of change could only happen in Europe, due to the multi-party system. In America, as has so often been proven, the system is rigged to prevent alternatives to the established parties. I honestly believe this proves the superiority

The Mirra lets you adjust the tilt of the forward part of the seat, solving the biggest problem with the Aeron. It's basically an improved Aeron, in my opinion (I have both).

I have an Aeron and a Mirra 2. The Mirra is both better looking, better constructed and more ergonomic. There are more adjustments, and the mechanisms are very intuitive and integrated into the design. Perhaps the new Aeron will bring it up

It's also because the starry-eyed loudmouths in HR always gets to set the agenda, since the introverted engineers don't say anything. So you get chants, 'funny' party games, etc. And of course if you at any point seem li

All Scandinavian countries have these rules, FWIW. Height adjustable desk is nice-to-have rather than essential (would hate to go without it though, since it allows me to stand while working once in a while). But external monitor should rig

How have MS Paint, Notepad and the Command Prompt not been updated for 20 years? I can only assume they are some kind of running joke at Microsoft.

Hence why they have so much "free" advertising - they likely have a massive department swarming every major media outlet to create and maintain partnerships, i.e. the little Twitter mentions that you see on TV. I don't know i

All of that was what we fretted about years ago. It turned out Facebook has been exceedingly inept at targeted advertising, in spite of all that information. And everyone these days knows that clicking a 'like' button just means s

If I'm sitting in the sofa and answer the call from there, it usually means I am fine staying put. We usually use it for family abroad, and here the format has the obvious advantage that the whole family can gather around the TV and se
