I was waiting for Duo and didn't even know it launched. Maybe more marketing is required.

It's not. Teleporting from point A to B is not same as walking from A to B.

I'm seriously not comfortable with getting audio through a digital port that has an authentication chip built in. That's HDCP and DRM for music waiting to burst into life. "Unauthorized playback."

For me it's only showing recordings of voice search I performed. Not a single audio asynchronously recorded in two years. So not really "conversations people have around phones." And I also use Android Wear and Chromebook, s

I am using one since mid-2014 and it has made my iPad bite the dust. It's just as quick access as iPad and does so much more and faster. Browsing is miles faster than on iPad. So while a lot of people think it's a PC that does les

This is harsher than it needs to be. A lot of us as sophomores started clubs, companies, organizations. I sincerely think this guy is trying to do something similar. He just seems to have better contacts. We also made (or projected) embarra

I am not very sure about this for a few reasons: 1. There is possibly several ways to game the upvote system. HN community is not anonymous, and there are people who have more friends here than others. A lot of very good founders would pr

I don't see how this helps Apple. They offered cheaper versions with 8GB ROMs in India before. It backfired because though they were cheap it was a shitty experience. With iOS 9 underperforming even on iPhone 5S, I don't see how t

Well it's not about quantity but attitude. India might be the leading importer of a lot of things given the population. But that doesn't negate the defensive attitude towards imports.

It does not matter how we put it. If one is wrong, they are wrong. If one is "opinionated" and he/she is wrong, they will fail. It hasn't helped Lisp's cause that a majority of its promoters are heavily opinionated.

While there would be a lot of fear of Google interfering with public discourse, it is key to point out that there are over 1,600 presidential candidates. How many of them do you even recognize? How does the country know that there isn'

I think if that were to happen Uber will tirelessly and ferociously push their API. They will probably finally start giving money for taxis booked from the API so other apps could be used to book Uber. I think they will heavily push their M

No, Mr. Gates, cutting this ribbon would mean that all the other ribbons are cut by default. Not just by your allies, but by your not-so-friends in North Korea. It's not about cutting a ribbon. It's about putting a hard drive in a

One way you can do that is by architecting something like chmod. Basically a point based system. 7 gives all, 1 gives read. You can then have your actual implementation compiled away, but can change points for a user as and when you like. T

I'd be skeptical. From what I understand the damaging factor is WiFi here. But when my phone is on WiFi it's usually on the table, at the charging dock and occasionally in my hand. When the phone is in my pants, it's almost n

52 hours of study to start a whole new career do not seem redundant to me. Specially when the field is highly sensitive, legal repercussions are huge, collateral damage arising out of wrong communications can be millions of dollars. Besides

True. I think we both generically seem to be saying the same thing. The disagreement seem to be on the topic of whether it should be compulsory or not. I do believe that it should be regulated and compulsory. It's much simpler to teach

It doesn't matter. The requirements of license seem to be 52 hours of mandatory study/attendance and passing the exam. Zenefits clearly cheated on one of the requirements. the state wants you to make sure you read everything an

No you can't take away a certification. You can make it certified every year. But a certification exists to certify that you tested OK in 2014, for example. You can't take that away because you can't say he did not pass the

This is not SAT unfortunately. Your score and your behaviour are both needed for a license. Besides, in situations like these attendance policy is important. You can't test every single edge case possible on a test. The state has to an

It's not an exam to pass. A license must be earned continuously by practising within law. A license would be taken away even if you have the best knowledge but are even slightly off on ethics of practice. A policeman can be strongest

The reason for license is that it can be taken away. In cases of malpractice of selling crap for brokerage, you can't simply uncertify a person. But you can take away their license. It's also the signal to customer that the guy th

There is massive difference between aggressively renovating an outdated industry and committing fraud. If the customers of Zenefits knew they aren't brokers, and if it was publicly clear and accepted, then maybe there is a slight chanc

I assumed the backwards 'C' was the incomplete progress bar. First I thought Uber is updating. Then when I realized it is the new icon, I thought it is meant to signify urgency of "your cab arriving." In no universe did

The question is -- Is it good for Quora? Recently the site has basically become a plagiarism echo chamber. People copy/paste blogs verbatim in a bid for upvotes. Maybe Quora should stop optimizing for Facebook's key metrics like M

The need for such a feature is so low, you can simply implement yourself with 5 lines of code. There is mailgun, there is gmail api, there is programming.

India has different set of laws on it. It's not allowed to create slow lanes in the first place. It's also not allowed to provision a broadband speed of lower than 512 kbit which is due to be revised to 1 mbit/2 mbit minimum

Ability to change/rename ids from within the UI would be nice.
