Does anybody know what Amazon Echo will be using as their search engine - Google, Bing? Or is Amazon developing their own search/knowledge engine? If so, is this just the beginning of Amazon trying to encroach on Google Search?

I definitely agree. I'd use it mostly for a bluetooth music streaming speaker. And for $99 (since I'm a prime member) it's a good price. All the other features are extra and I don't know which ones I'd end up act

I did a test ride of a P85D last night. It was breathtaking. The car explodes (silently) of course like a rocket. It feel much, much faster than a regular P85. Here's the test ride I took: https://www.youtube.com/wa

I don't understand why Twitpic would be shutting down. If they are growing and doing well, then why not just change the business name? Or is it that things aren't going well (usage dropping drastically) and they've already

Thanks for the feedback. I'm using the new http://curated.co platform for email newsletters, and while it's quite good in many areas I do hope they fix the centered text issue (I've sent them feedback on this alr

Yeah I realized afterward that I shouldn't have said "this is not spam." I think I just wanted to pre-empt people from assuming that I was a HN newbie pushing spam and direct them to check out my HN profile/karma/p

The short answer is that Warren Buffett combined quantitative aspects of investing (ie., Ben Graham) with qualitative aspects of investing (ie., Philip Fisher). To get a better idea of these two approaches: Read Ben Graham's book: htt

For those who want some background on this, recently there have been some minor drivetrain issues that have creeped up (see quote below from last quarter's TSLA conference call). As a result, some potential customers were getting conce

I love this story and it's a great effort by this law school. I wonder if there could be some crowdsourced efforts to pool together key documents, resources, processes, etc so that defending against a patent troll could be more effici

I would love to have one of these in my backyard. I find that a single fruit tree produces too many fruit and only lasts a short time of fruit-giving per year. But a free that gives 40 fruits spaced out is ideal.

So, can someone correct me if I'm wrong? It appears that Amazon Cognito handles sync for local device data, but the developer doesn't have access to any of that data. Correct? So this service seems to be geared toward developers

With Postgres RDS is there any extra maintenance required (vs Heroku Postgres)? Or any other limitations besides accessing slave instances?

Resale value in 5+ years out should be very good. I've been watching the used market for over a year and it's been very, very strong. There's not much used inventory being sold and owners seem to love the Model S's. Th

To help some understand why the Model S could be "cheaper" to own vs a Honda Odyssey it's important to understand a few factors: 1. Low fuel costs - electricity is way cheaper than gas and when you factor in gas savings over

Tesla has promised the ability to swap out battery packs in the future. So, after 8 years the Model S should hold very good resale value because at that time you could probably swap in a 120+kwh battery (that goes 400+ miles). 30k residua
