   Agreed, there needs to be a paradigm shift in registering intents. I should not create a skill that the user needs to remember a command for. Instead, my skill should be able to hook into intents and return structured data. For example: &qu

   So this is why streaming Google Music on my fairly nice sound system ends up sounding like total crap?

   Ugh, I haven't even moved my existing crypto from cold storage to the original Ledger Nano sitting on my desk for a year.

   One plausible, if slightly paranoid, explanation I read was that Netflix is trying to intentionally obscure the size of their library and the deficits in it. This would be especially relevant to OP's story about rising exclusivity.

   Valid points, but the author recommends 500px over instagram. While I'm not interested in fear-mongering, 500px is now owned by a Chinese company. That may give pause to some people looking for a switch.

   Ohhhh, interesting. They only use your additional training for speaker identification, so that someone else can't say "Hey Siri" to your device.

   I can second this. Semantic was never set up with real modularity in mind. There is tons of relational knowledge you need to have to make anything work well.

   This seems really neat, but my main, blocking issue is that there is absolutely no way to add pronunciation for a wake word. Therefore, if the developers have not explicitly added the word to their vocabulary, you are completely out of luck

    From the article: "[ASKfm] asks for access to a user’s location that “won’t be shared with anyone.” But the app sends that location data to two data firms, AreaMetrics and Huq. When reached, the app maker said it believes its location

    Yeah, I’m super confused. Does this mean I will start getting ads in YouTube because I only have the Google Play Music subscription? If so, they’ve just removed the one reason I haven’t switched to Spotify.

    Wow, this is just plain stupid. I think I would rather stop using Twitter than to be forced to use their awful clients.

    I would just be happy if my rpi would not randomly corrupt the memory card for no reason all the time. Have it on a quality adapter, hooked up to a ups, with a quality card, yet it still corrupts itself for no reason.

    Devout meat-eater here. I've had it. The burger is quite delicious. I was really impressed with what they've done. My burger was done sort of in the style of smash and scrape, which gave it a wonderful, crispy texture. The flavor

    Couldn't you defeat this detection by moving the drone or camera in a pre-programmed pattern that you could then reverse to stabilize the video later?

    I've enjoyed using Aiven's hosted Kafka. Can't comment on the other services that offer hosted solutions. I was originally going to go with Kinesis, but there were certain latency issues that didn't make sense for our ap

    I think the point is that the system was created with the understanding that the game was rigged, not that they figured it out after God didn't save a few people they truly believed were innocent.

    Oh man, this was the same problem I ran into with my product years ago. Everyone wanted to shoehorn it into a website creator. Showcase (as was my product) is a form of "digital document." Think about sales sheets, proposals, docu

    I got some good advice in 500 a few years ago when trying to raise a Series A. We were getting the "location" excuse over and over. It usually went something like, "we love what you are doing, and we would probably invest in

    Both ZIP and GZIP file formats store the uncompressed filesize in their headers. You could stream and check for these headers to determine if the a zip bomb is being delivered. Obviously something script-kiddies aren't going to do, but

    I'm seriously considering switching away from Google Music because of this. The web interface, and every unofficial desktop app I tried, all use up 50+ percent of a cpu.

    I personally know four people with this allergy. It's crazy how bad it can be. They all have to carry epipens and constantly remain vigilant about the food they eat. For one of them, it's not even the food they eat though. If they

    Now if I could just prove to Apple that my computer randomly shuts down all the time... problem is, it doesn't appear to be heat related.
