Yay! Thanks for including WorkFlowy in this, very cool.

I can't tell if you are joking or not. The point of the font is being terrible to read. There's an explanation on the page. Making your brain work harder to get the info makes it more likely to remember the info.

I'm not confused as to why he wants to buy back control of the company, but I'm confused why he wants to be so profitable. Does he say somewhere why he isn't reinvesting more of the profits in the company? Why not be a little

If you haven't clicked through to read the above commit message, please do. It is amazing. This is a glimpse into the mind of a mad scientist (and I respect and love mad scientists more than anything and aspire to be one)

Isn't this logic programming (ala prolog), not machine learning? I don't think this article reflects what people usually mean when they say AI, or am I missing something? I haven't really done any machine learning or logic pr

On the home page it says, it is "relied upon in production by large businesses". Which large business rely upon it?

It seems like a _strongly typed_ graph database, which is significant. The lack of enforced typing has made me scared of graph databases in the past, so this feels significant to me as a potential user. Granted, maybe there are strongly typ

No, thanks for the rec!

Yeah, the cost is crazy. This attack was extremely unfortunate in timing re: cost. I had signed up for better insurance in case I kept having stones, and this one happened the day before that insurance started. So I got a $5K bill, which wo

Yeah, they also give you tamsulosin, though, which relaxes expands the ureter, maybe that's part of the reason

I wrote my story as a root comment, but I get kidney stones, which are among the most intensely painful things humans experience. I have found getting really high more effective than opioids. I haven't yet used cannabis during the peak

I know people say CBD is good for pain, but in my experience the high is actually part of what helps. I personally like good old OG Kush for pain.

I get kidney stones pretty often (6 times in the last 8 years). I vomit from the pain, convulse on the floor, lose all sense of self as I just struggle to survive the sensation. It is intense. Usually I have to go to the emergency room for

Yeah, he starts of saying they have over 40 people, then says one of them tried working remotely and didn't keep it up. Seems misleading.

Ha, yeah. I was about to say that is the coolest thing about the car. And it is already a cool car.

If you've seen this before, I'd love to know what came next last time. How did this evolve and what were the issues with it?

Chimps also have the mother instinct, as do most other animals.

What confuses me about your argument is that you are treating a child as an individual without context. The human brain, however, has reviewed bajillions of bajillabytes of training data over the course of its evolution. The brain is alread

Seems like it makes sense to me. Here's an analogous situation to jquery: X = a huge workshop with a million tools, a table saw, ladders, and yes, a hammer and some nails Y = some nails Z = a hammer You need to hammer stuff as part of

I applaud the author's spirit of mad science and adventure. As someone with a lot of doctor friends and family, I think it is pretty clear most doctors are not familiar with the relevant research and by default give a cautionary respon

This isn't for training, is it? It's for using the results of training immediately (inferring something), without the need for a network round trip (as far as I understand it). So, you might still send the request to the network t

My instinct is that this post being on the front of HN, along with the tenor of the comments, is evidence of it working. I'd wager that her post is serving as an incredibly effective piece of content marketing. HN is the perfectly audi

I am so absurdly excited about cycle. I tend to get excited about things, true, but this feels like a coherent and elegant approach to making interfaces. I felt like this when I first understood React, but React is incomplete, it is just th

I'm sure I don't understand most of the implications, but seems like it could be a cool mechanism for a lot of things. You could start a company and distribute a percentage of future revenue to owners of the currency based on # of

This is exciting. I'd been hoping to see something like this come around, so thanks a bunch!

"Abandoning the web" seems a bit strong here. One difference between angular+dart and react+native is this: angular_devs ∩ dart_devs ~= 0 (relative to angular_devs) react_devs ∩ mobile_devs ~= react_devs Almost everyone who uses r
