   Actually we are planning to port it to a language suitable for embedded use. Maybe Rust?

   This is just a demo website, but in a real use case you would pass a context (for instance with the user timezone, country...) with your library calls. You can also try the same sentence in French, you'll get February first.

   Probably too much :) All our backend is Clojure, all our new web developments are in ClojureScript (with React and Om). The only places we're not using Clojure are iOS, Android and Raspberry/embedded linux. We're using Rust m

   Yeah that's the funniest thing of the story. Before VK tried to block the beach access only a few surfers came every week, and few people knew about the beach. Now everybody knows and will flock to it!

   Looks powerful. Just curious, how does it compare to Kimono Labs?

    To fellow startups claiming to "change healthcare": this is not about nicer online forms. This is about destroying this.

    Dustin is right: a truly pleasant user experience would necessary involve continuous listening (without hotword à la OK Google), as well as leveraging the user context much more than what Siri or Google Now do today. See for instance the vi

    In this so-called shared economy, intermediaries such as Uber, Homejoy, Airbnb, etc. already take a 20% to 30% cut while trying to remain only an app, or technology layer (as they claim when regulators try to intervene). That may or may not

    +1. IBM must regain control over their PR people, speak less and do more, or they will lose any credibility with developers.

    Natural language is ambiguous: one phrase often has multiple meanings. That’s the result of many thousands of years of evolution, and it’s actually very efficient. If we had to be always explicit, our phrases and sentences would be much, mu

    True, but if the price is actually as high as $1B, it means that "other concurrents" at least tried to do something about it!

    Very impressive. I'd love to know how many out of the 716 companies funded so far are still in business per se as independent entities? And among those that are not anymore, what was the exit (successful exit vs. soft landing / ac

    To put things in context, Israel killed at least 24 people in Gaza today [1], including children. Did they have access to Twitter, let alone any telecommunication mean, let alone food and water? Sorry, but I really don't see how your t
