Yes, they claim their voice reco "really works" - I don't find it a credible claim... except that, when you have a confined univese of possible matches (e.g. grocery items), it doesn't so much have to recognise the word,

I can see iWatches as a big market for a startup, or add-on for Nike - but not for Apple. The profits can't move their meter. The problem is input: Apple solved it for phones (touch screen). They tried voice-recog for shuffle iPod, b

It's so sad, because the Wright Brothers really were innovative. Not just the control system of planes, but the system of discovering that: they realized that building and testing a whole aircraft was too time consuming (not to mention

To explain the joke: Yes, he caught that error of mine, but I found a retrospective justification as a way to get out of it, as a joke. That's why he replied "Well done!"

Their pop-over "you've read 5 of your 10 free articles this month" made me want to read the article more thoroughly, to make sure I didn't waste the resource/gift, thus increasing my engagement. It's valuable

I would expect the biggest factor is lower traffic over Easter - and that the "gravity" calculation isn't fully normalized for total traffic volume. (The new queue is probably slower than usual too). IIRC it's usually

Adam Smith noted cities were founded on "navigable rivers", because that's how trade works. Still true today for cargo ships. But today the internet is a river everywhere, for information goods. New Zealand is the most beauti

You'll likely produce many deformed babies before you get it right. Horrific. Note that they haven't managed it yet on monkeys (surprised me). Prediction: when it's been working perfectly on all primates for quite a while, th

What did the study test then? (I don't have a subscription to "Psychological Science", so can't read the full text, at least, not from the above link). From the abstract on the first expt (and from the story linked here

Well it sure did in mine! Probably a different config from your version (10.04 netbook). BTW: Ahem. Good sir, I know what tab completion is. I've even added to it for some of my scripts (nothing fancy though).

That font - tiny and grey - was by far the hardest to read on Android (increasing the minimum font size to 20 pt fixed it). It's considered good practice to brace if/loop clauses (unless on the same line) for this very reason. Not

BTW: I like Christensen's theories, but I'm not wholly convinced. Interpretation seems too subjective.... I am curious about what YC partners think of Christensen's modularity vs integrated (and his other theories), since the

Yes. My take: it's triggered by consumer needs being "overshot": phones better (2.3GHz, quad-core, 3GB, HD), do you really need it? Integration is crucial for meeting consumer needs when the tech was not as good: the first

I've had this, but could never be bothered to track down exactly what was causing it (but one thing was ubuntu looking up unknown commands using apt-cache ). I think I "solved" it by ensuring I'd correctly typed the sta

Excellent, bash the good parts . More than 15 minutes though. Googling bashlint , shlint turns up some discussion (bash -n, ksh -n, zsh -n, some github projects), but I doubt they cover this article's specifics - though most (all?)

How would swapping actresses help? The issue is not a quality of the individual person, but of their action - and the relationship between their action and the baby's later response to that person is very thing being tested. BTW: Whate

I was thinking about that, and the thing is people are often deceptive to children for their own good, as a way to handle them without upsetting them (arguably not ideal parenting but let it pass). So that, if you convince the child you rea

I wonder if they controlled the effect of the actresses own response. Although they might be excellent actresses, being mean to a baby is probably going to make you feel pretty rotten, at a level it might be hard to control, and the baby co

You have to be a dev to understand what your system is doing, but you don't have easy access to all the standard dev things. Interesting, this mismatch may be a good description of the problem of visual languages. Curious: wh

Assuming "re-entry" means "to decelerate from (near) orbital velocity" and not "to pass from vacuum-to-atmosphere", isn't this a solved problem for fast high-altitude jets (e.g. SR-71 Blackbird, 3,529.6 km

This may seem like semantics, but I deliberately omitted that case by addressing "IP infringement", and not the contractual issue (of ownership). sigh I guess it's arguable, that the contractual scenario is technically &quo

Digital had bumper profits just before they went under - it's typical, as they go upmarket, to get greater profits. But I'll accept that you get what I'm saying. :) Another data point: id was killing it (and, to us, Carmack r

While an artifical ear or eye has practical benefits, genitials might mean more to the recipients. Hard to tell: which would you rather go without? It mentions that nerves grew into the structure, but doesn't explicitly state how well
