I'm considering a "rugged phone" as my next one. They seem great. A bit chunky, sure, but more battery, better value & more durable. I don't need a paper-thin or foldable-screen phone. I'm a bit surprised how li

I think Amazon or Microsoft acquiring Reddit would probably just be the end of Reddit. They would feel pressured to censor it into non-existence.

Yeah, I really can't figure out whether they actually believe they have an issue with this or not. Nonetheless, they do claim to be working on it.

Recording it in some form (written or otherwise) seems useful if you need to share it with lots of other people.

This list is so long that they should consider summarising it at the top; a graph tracking new production introductions vs retirements, so that we can see whether Google is getting any better at creating lasting products.

Related to your "exposed to" vs "infected" point, I've been wanting to check my understanding on something, and hopefully someone here can provide a more informed opinion. Immunity can be boosted through exposure, r

I don't think DAUs would necessarily tell the full story for Facebook. Browsers still get pointed to Facebook a few times a day, but I bet the depth of engagement is a fraction of what it used to be.

No, they're not. The linked post even mentions Softbank being a shareholder. It would be good to know what % of Cruise is owned by GM, but as far as I know it hasn't been made public knowledge. Hope someone can correct me on that.

If fusing two data sources is necessary prior to making actuation decisions, how could adding another data source not introduce additional processing & latency? It's not just about paying more dollars, but also range. You're a

The real equation is closer to: Radar + LIDAR + Vision + Cost + Latency - Battery Doing it with vision only saves on cost, latency & energy consumption.

Think along the lines of: 1. What is necessary vs sufficient. 2. Processing power. 3. Power consumption. 4. Hardware cost. (even if may have decreased now, the cost of initiating the programme years ago) 5. Training cost / volume of da

Something I've noticed is that whilst big, glamorous releases tend to be more popular within many companies, evolutionary releases tend to be friendlier toward users. Products evolving more gradually doesn't entirely solve the iss

Yeah, based on this, any GSuite presentation containing a logo seems like it might meet Google's criteria for getting blocked.

Better do it from a burner device on a burner internet connection, to prevent Google from detecting any link between your burner account and your real account.

Google's primary differentiation used to be that they were by far the best search engine. Since then, they have moved upstream: 1. Android 2. Chrome 3. A deal with Apple Even if a much better search engine were to emerge, without an ex

Problems like that don't have to be solved by changing the existence of a feature. There are many ways to address such an issue; adjusting the incentives, changing the ranking algorithm, etc.

How does this type of acquisition happen? How does the division of Microsoft that wanted this business determine that instead of trying to build it themselves, they should approach their potential competitor and ask to purchase it from them

It does not guarantee that you won't encounter a deadly fire. It just adds one extra escape route for this extremely rare event. You could also add an escape slide for each apartment.

Money is just a resource and allocating this resource toward staircases may save fewer lives than allocating it in some other way.

In fact, every additional staircase adds a potentially useful escape route, so how many will be enough?
