It's also pretty cheap to live, or so I hear.

Absolutely. There was a research project last year where they uses sensors built into the visor foam and they could reproduce your emotion based on your face movement. Of course we'll eventually all be scanned into the system and at th

I run an XMPP server for myself and a few friend and have had no end to the trouble with it getting OTR or any level of encryption working reliably before friends lose their interest. Please, someone, just offer us an open source slack clon

Yeah. There are many other civilian industries where electric is simply a no go until batteries capacity is vastly more improved (which, admittedly is does, 8% year on year). Remote towns with limited infrastructure, woodland rangers, heavy

It sounds like having a computer without having the internet in 1997. When they add the social factor and include things like being able to do desktop work, in high fidelity while wearing a lightweight pair of shades, its going to change a

I strongly disagree. The opportunities when this becomes ready for prime time are endless.

I agree with you and I hope you are right.

I disagree with you, OP mentions 60% reduction in the civilian insurance market and there's studies to back that up- http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/national/2015/10/23/385... Any large sc

By exploited you mean release to the public domain. Big difference.

I think the genie is out of the bottle with regards to electric cars. They've proven they work and can compete with internal combustion cars on most metrics that people care about and exceed ICEs in a number of ways. Battery capacity g

As much as I love everything about what Elon is doing I wish there was a way to remove all the "um"s and "eh"s from his diction.

Shaming has its purpose. I've been pulled into line on HN for some badly worded comments and for that i'm thankful because it maintains the quality here.

Just do a search, most big bitcoin addresses are reported on.

Sorry if it's rubbing salt in the wounds but these stories are really tiresome. You thought about investing at 5 dollars is completely meaningless. The famous spike to 1200 lasted all of 6 hours, it's also meaningless. Too many

I think you are selling everyone short. All accomplished people can recognise certain outstanding peers, appreciate their intelligence and yet have damning opinions on their particular set of principles. For me, it's the most refreshin

I don't need to be a film maker to critique a film. OP makes no claims of his/her superior engineering skills, only provides typical concerns that people have.

>Hackers will easily figure out a way to spoof the communication, and could play with traffic. It's far far easier and quicker to throw a brick off a highway bridge but that surprisingly happens very infrequently.

How can the competition authority allow this to happen?

That's not a fair argument, 1. Cruise control makes cars easier to drive, adaptive cruise control even more so. 2. The end goal is full autonomy anyway; Tesla seems to be the only manufacturer to release incremental updates towards rea

As much as it pains me, you are right. As a sailor I would never rely on my autopilot to get me anywhere except in a straight line. The term has a connotation of coolness because it directly references similar features in the airline and ya

Just because you turn it off doesnt mean it's not tracking you. Have a look at google location history, it doesn't use GPS but it can still pinpoint you very closely using cell tower triangulation. Stallman was right, we carry the

I think you missed the satire but you raise an interesting perspective. For example, if machine learning knows through a user's phone that they match the locations of someone who drink drives will their online persona be disciplined wi

On the point of software eating the world google may be uniquely positioned to make something of this scale work- They have trend data for a majority of people with smartphones and I often see from Google Now cards that they know what I&#x2

Just treat everything you read in social science with a grain of salt. The studies will never be able to alleviate problems of reproducible with the sample sizes we have.

I'm disappointed by this article and I'm disliking the "noble savage"[1] tone of the rest of the comments. Yes, you may like it for it's quaint feel but I wanted the author to go into details of how the internet act

Try walking alone unarmed across any city late at night from any era over 100 years ago and you took your life in your hands. Just because mass media is bringing you stories of the miseries of the world does not mean they are more prevalent

Living in a van down by the river while soaking up that VC funded salary in savings for a year or two has never looked so attractive. In all seriousness San Jose is a reasonable temperature for 300 days of the year I don't know why the
