It is possible for these things to be true at the same time: Tesla is overvalued, spacex is not, Elon started both.

Yes you could think of an analogous statement being: why do we need lenses? A raw exposed imager is just fine, we can use machine learning to extrapolate what the lens would be providing. And yes that's true but why in the hell would y

Agree with you, the only benefit I see is that Android Auto "uses the built-in screen" or allows you to use the "built-in controls in the steering wheel." That's it. It sounds like a $9 smartphone mount and a mini h

Yeah you and another reply have a good point that real time and asynchronous video communication paired with ubiquitous cameras on our devices might also be the next game changer. If so it's still the first inning or relative beginning

IMHO we've had only one material revolution from computing which offered the ability to move away from paper. For individuals and SMBs this was the spreadsheet, for larger organizations this was a centralized database with remote acces

I loved Thomas as a kid and will let my kids watch it, but if you actually watch the plots they have very odd morals to the stories and are generally male chauvinist. But trains and it's generally harmless IMHO as long as you discuss t

Bingo this is the answer. You can't "speed up" the speed of light, but you can have predetermined latency with a synchronized clock that lets you do lots of great things. Other ideas (this is not new btw), you don't get

Yes, this is a liability issue for Amazon / AWS. Which has more liability -- keeping them or shutting them off for TOS violation? The answer is easy.

Correct all around. Lots of room for optimization.

IIRC this is what Firefox tries to do -- use the OS decoder. For many reasons it is not a great user experience.

I'm working on detailed 3d visualizations of streets using WebXR (A-Frame and three.js). Still "half baked" :) Repo: https://kfarr.github.io/3dstreet/ Example use case: https://17thpreso.glitc

Love the idea! I'll try that with my 4yo daughter this week, I think she'd love to tell me what to do :P

Thanks for the insightful and well written comment, however I wonder if (and propose that) both can be true: your statements regarding the initial seed of business management from western railroads and also post WWII military influence on m

Very curious to understand this as well. Does that imply that images with similar attributes (like other hotel rooms in one of their examples with slightly different dimensions or furniture) will work without additional training? Or did eac

Yes this is the correct answer. I've seen some systems respond with "if there's an account registered to this email address you will receive a password reset email" whether or not the address is registered

Most resonant for me is writing down what you do before you start, continuing to focus on that one item and agree with op it's ok to write down even mundane things. As silly as it sounds it really makes a difference

Yes I've had a similar idea with a condo neighbor with loud bass, it must be possible to have some attachment you put on the wall to cancel it out. That would sell well

Yes (you can do either or even some bags have a strap on top for hanging on a hook and you can clip the helmet to that) and yes it bangs into you when you walk.

Yes and it's mind-blowing that municipalities are still trying to enact that crap. Most recently: Nearly half of Seattle’s helmet citations go to homeless people https://crosscut.com/news/2020/12/nearly-h

good research! I'm intrigued by the concept of an all beef diet, sounds too good to be true!

And also admitting the margin on those items is not great and they're not much more than a taxi company with a fancy app and the admitted blessing of being able to outsource fleet management to their drivers.

A negative / unpopular take: like air in a balloon a startup company will grow as large as its capital allows as it is purposefully using this capital to grow faster than natural market forces allow. In other words it has a big enginee

Yes thanks for mentioning this, the comments to this post are unusual even for HN. I'm wondering if there are so many comments that they are not actually sorted by most upvotes correctly

There's a lot of hate on LinkedIn here, sorry to say I find it a highly useful tool and it appears to be the defacto way most companies hire so embrace the monster or some other pithy phrase but you get the idea
