Looks like the Boom jet will be business-class only, with single seats on each side, so it probably won't be a big deal if you are willing to pay up. https://boomsupersonic.com/airliner

Couldn't you just have multiple cameras of different sensitivity? Cameras are pretty cheap.

They could probably fit a parachute to compensate for the lack of gliding ability for emergency landings.

It's essentially what https://www.reddit.com/r/changemyview is. It relies heavily on moderation to maintain quality, so I'm not sure how well it scales.

I think long before 3D-printed cars, the shift to all-electric drivetrains will put most mechanics out of business.

The way I see it, "programming" will become an archaic term. It might become a branch of ethics, but for machines rather than people. It'll involve setting intelligent boundaries.

I used to think this way, but this assumes there's an upper limit to demand. I think as the capability of tools increase, so will user expectations in capabilities and coverage. Sure, programming will be more about asking the right que

Auto industry. US/Canada have their own standards different from the UN standards the rest of the world adopts. Very few European cars are sold in NA beside a few high-end models.

I'd say it's very much alive now-a-days. If it wasn't for protectionism, the American auto industry would've collapsed long ago (not adopting international safety standards, inferior product line for NA market).

I keep hearing stories of non-technical managers making elementary mistakes when it comes to technical decisions. Many of the things are so widely established, they can be learned by spending a little time reading a few books, talking to a

This looks interesting, but I kinda wish there's something like this for no-moonshot, low-key business models, with lower return but higher chance of profit. As I understand it, YC is still geared towards high-risk, high-return venture

I'd say in America it's mostly just STEM or business/economics, depending on your family background. Business for children of business owners, STEM for everyone else. There's also a clear political divide along this line

I wonder if this is a North American thing. I noticed in Sweden and the Netherlands the newly-built houses tend to have a more "solid feel" and sensible arrangements. Though I can't speak for their structural integrity since

Politeness and passive-aggression usually go hand-in-hand. They're both strategies used to avoid confrontations.

Though I'd imagine if a study requires the use of these sensors, an Apple Watch may be cheaper than something from a medical device manufacturer.

I think it's also about leverage. If they do end up using Google's tech they'd get a better deal if they're in a less desperate position.

This is awesome! Once this works on Unity 5, I will switch from Unreal Engine 4.

Seems like Japan would be a prime candidate for universal basic income. Above average unemployment + high social welfare + high productivity/automation.

Forecast.io runs pretty well on my iPhone 5. With the smooth animations I honestly can't tell it's HTML/JS.

Is there something special about this frequency, or would it have similar effect on 5Ghz?
