I'm curious how much of it has to do with perception too. I avoid Walmart. I don't feel they treat their employees well, pay them well, or do anything well, fwiw. I much rather shop where i have the perception that the employees a

I'd totally be willing to discuss the topic, but i'm not sure what i could say to help you _(also, the lack of notifications makes HN a terrible place for this lol)_. For me, functionality of the assistant was fundamentally diffic

Seems interesting. I'm not a fan of LinkedIn, so this piques my curiosity. I am concerned about the "1:1 relationship" feature though. It seems core to the experience, but personally i'm not sure i will like it, and am h

I mean, isn't that a bit pedantic? If you go down that route, MAD didn't keep us safe either, it's our enemies belief/knowledge that we had weapons of mass destruction, that kept us safe. etcetcetc It's all part of

No worries, appreciate what information you could give :)

I believe they have added ML in the Assistant, along with some new features like context recognition. Granted, it's of course difficult to say how much is shared between Now and Assistant.

Out of curiosity, is this the the actual "Google Assistant" you're referring to? Or simply Google Now? I believe there is a difference, but that's purely speculation on my park. I'll be able to test it more in ~2 we

I love Camlistore but have been hesitant to use it. They're just doesn't seem to be enough tracking behind it.. if more people were into it, i would be really happy.

Yup, this is my answer. I'm slowly building an in-house software suite .. because i can, i guess, and a big thing i'm wanting is to tie it all together with a human friendly administrative program. The main thing stopping me is NL

Weird that i find out about this here - wonder if he's able to send an email to Mac Store purchasers like myself. Regardless, i migrated my license, and all seems to be working now. Glad the issue didn't impact me too negatively,

This is what i've always disliked. I don't mind paying for X data a month - but if i'm going to do that, i want something akin to an SLA. If they're going to oversell the network[1] and cap my data, what the hell good

> Tox is pure P2P which, in my experience, never works very well on mobile devices. That's (UX) my biggest concern, honestly. UX is just too important, and it's becoming an increasingly fast moving bar. Simple things like hitt

Nope. I've never used a case for my phones. I heavily buy my phone for the visual appeal, and small/compact nature. Most cases i quite dislike.

I had that fear after loving my Nexus6 dual speakers for so long, and it can still be nice at times _(mainly for volume level)_, but lately i've just been bluetooth'ing all my music from my Nexus6. The speakers just sound _(mildly

I love my N6, and if anything i'm afraid the PixelXL will be too small for me. I take comfort in knowing that the N6 can be a bit cumbersome at times.. despite me loving it, so maybe the XL will be perfect.

I love my Nexus phones, i also have already ordered a Pixel XL. With that said, i hate the look of this phone compared to the Nexus 5 and 5X. I really felt the 5 and 5X were a good, unique and fitting feel for Nexus. The Pixel doesn't

Agreed, i don't want it to do any of that. With that said, there are plenty of things i'd love to be able to use it for. Texting _(via Telegram.. app support, not just SMS!)_, remind/alarm, and information are my main ones. C

Yea, and i can imagine image quality is a big issue. I want images, but at the same time i'm scared to even use my own, because i don't want just a ugly boxed image. It feels like it would require an artistic hand... which i don

Appreciate having the premium option. I'm buying a shirt now just for kicks, mainly to test out the quality of the shirt. If i like the fit/etc, i imagine i'll buy a few more. Thanks! Sidenote: If you can manage this awesome

I mean, i am not agreeing with Yahoo here... but isn't that a reasonable thing to do? Every act of securing or ensuring quality has a cost, and there is a line. I think most of us would agree that the line is very broken currently, but

This is cool! I wonder what the math on payments looks like for this, my immediate fear is that it's contribution is so small as to almost be not worth the signup. Perhaps put a little simple math showing how this would affect a loan?

Unfortunately that still leaves out a ton of users. I know that's a tiny percentage, but tiny nonetheless. The shop i'm heading to soon has a small number of clients (<5k, each being very important), but with many using ancien

Wouldn't that basically be replicating a return value-error approach, in a more cumbersome way though? You could argue that Go can use Exceptions in the same manner as X lang too, by using panic and recover... but most people seem to n
