Very slick. I would definitely use this if I had a need for it beyond changing the default notifications on my phone/desktop. One suggestion, I think the those little 'devices' are the perfect way to demonstrate why I would w

While I get that Heinlein may have intended to make genuine predictions... "Heinlein carefully points out that all good science fiction writers tell a story first and prophesy second, using arguably the greatest of them all, H.G. Well

Ordered one with the benefit of the Prime discount, don't think I would have done it for $39. At the higher price I'd be inclined to spend twice as much and get another Roku 3. I'll hook it up to the one display that doesn&#x

Fantastic. I've long thought that if I ever acquire the means I'd want to take a U2 ride like James May [1]. I'm thinking I'd definitely prefer this. Also, no wonder his name felt so familiar [2]. 1: https://w

The piece is 5800+ words, exactly one of which is DARPA. It's entirely possible that Assange is a nut, but nothing he says presents quite as nutty as extrapolating that single mention into a tale of innocent students being seeded with

That was interesting. I've always been a bit curious about Schmidt and what sort of measure someone who is neither in awe nor seeking to impress might make of him. I think the whole piece is probably best summed up with this line towar

Fascinating stuff, not at all what I was expecting. Two things come to mind reading this. 1.) The crowdsourced and algorithmic solutions seem to be framed in contrast if not exclusive to each other here. I wonder if combining the two couldn

I find this choice of name particularly egregious. It's not just the existence of current projects [1] and common use in technology prior [2], but the source. Twitter, being Twitter could call this whatever they wanted. "Yolk&quot

I feel like both 'sides' are talking around each other here. Both have points, both are overstated. Personally, I'd worry less about the headiness of these books than what seem to be common themes of characters whose defining

>'$10B seems exhorbitant for a 40 mile stretch of track + trains etc.' Perhaps, but it's right on par with the cost of the recent Metro extension which cost $6.8B for an 11.6 mile extension running on existing tech. Succ

I must be old... I feel like I read stories about horrible jobs and tough times finding work from young college grads regularly and the news would seem to corroborate them [1]. Apparently, these people end up serving coffee or answering pho

Exactly. It's easy enough to understand this applied to fast food, but I get the impression other industries would rather not believe it to be true. Thing is, I think it's clearly evidenced in tech by every "I went through t

It seems an odd choice to say three turbochargers in an article that references superchargers when it reads as an electric supercharger plus sequential turbos. Personally, I'd much rather see advancement / acceptance of self-drive

Funny thing about being broke, it seems to come with an intense even overwhelming desire to feel/signal otherwise in what are usually counterproductive ways. Where I grew up, everybody was pretty damn poor. Still, probably half my neig

Neat. As others have noted, the product could benefit from promoting the "camera + smarts = faster, easier and better than visiting a tailor" aspect more. I'd use this if it could do pants as well.

Is it? I have no solid idea, but my impression from glancing at solutions for healthcare years ago wasn't that Hospitals are choosing Big Co so much as they have little choice. As I understand it, smaller companies don't try &#x2F
