That's the thing. I've found a ton of info on random digital assistants not made by a large company[0] and I even found a 13 year old who made a digital assistant with the RPi[1] but I can't find a download for stand alone sp

Alphabet (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) is doing a lot of things. From what I understand they're the most advanced when it comes to ML and self driving technology. They tend not to ship so they don't get much credit. Jeff Bezos is i

I'm against affirmative action but I find it amusing that I can use it to my advantage. I identify with (white) American, though I'm a quarter Hawaiian and a quarter Hispanic.

Why don't you make your own? It occurred to me the other day to do this. I want some experience with hardware, so I'm going to install a microphone next to a drawer and a speaker on the drawer itself. I'll be using a Raspberr

I think that we can basically use more of our bodies than is currently thought. Everything we feel has a biological correlate. Try making yourself feel good. After you get a workout high or some such, try expanding the feeling. You'll

Thanks for the downvote but I live in the bay area and I've worked maintenance (ie custodial). My pay with this has never broached $20 /h. I've worked terrible jobs for terrible pay. I can remember being forced to call Uber t

Bart is consistently disgusting and a majority of their janitors make over $100k? This is what happens in a government subsidized monopoly.

We don't know our cognitive limits. Think about how hard you mentally push yourself on a day to day. It isn't a stretch to think that cognition can be trained stronger. Do you ever wonder what an Eagle's vision would be like

An increase in honesty (both to themselves and others) causes people to search for the reasons why they do what they do. Greater political and legal scrutiny.

You can do the same with upvotes here. Anyway, that's why Codewars censors the answers if you haven't completed the challenge and doesn't allow you to earn credit for the challenge if you choose to view the answer. Of course

It makes me think that, that statistic likely came at the expense of talent - on either side of the spectrum. Engineering is a good example. There are vastly more men than there are women. Would I expect this company to hire the best women?

No imagination necessary, check out Basecamp. I believe they've actually cut their freemium offering recently. Slack hasn't put them out of business yet.

A stock price takes into account future growth. When growth begins to stagnate, then the ticker will fall. People lose money. In most cases it probably isn't a huge deal, but the fact that Twitter isn't profitable is likely a (lar

It may not scale as much as you'd like, but I think the real opportunity is with clothes themselves. They're way over-priced. It would set me back like $700 to buy a pair of well cut pants, used. These pants have legs that curve w

Can you name a few fashion startups? One that comes to mind is Nasty Gal. I think it's missing the problem of men; we have no equivalent and finding good clothes can be a challenge.
