Well, it solves a problem (for some), but unsolves another - adds Teflon that's been out of my household for over 10 years! And I'm sure it's not just me, because all stores are full of alternative coatings.

This is a gross oversimplification of quality cooking. For amateurs, this might be great... but it will keep them amateurs as they won't be able to develop the chef skills. My wife always cooks perfect salmon without any gadgets - ther

It's been years since health-concerned people abandoned Teflon. From the pictures, it looks like this is still using Teflon.

Beauty? I don't see any of that... unless these are sold at Claire's (yes, I do have daughters and I don't allow them in that junkyard).

I predicted this here a while ago. Apps like Moves are even worse bundling activity with location.

This is what I meant [1]. It seems that only a few Australian companies do this for external parties for about $1,500/genome. I'm tired of waiting for the price to get down and to be offered publicly - is it possible to do persona

Illumina already sells a $1,000-genome machine. By the way, what's happened with the ambitious SV-based Halcyon Molecular, which was supposed to deliver a $100-genome sequencer? P.S. Halcyon has shut down 2 years ago [1]. [1] https:&#

I think we should think outside of the (human) box. We needed emotion, I don't think machines do. Well, the machines we will build will have emotions as we cannot socialize with them otherwise, but a problem-solving AI does not need an

Netflix' value proposition is constantly dropping. Now, that the API is gone, I'm not sure how would I go around their stupid limitation of 500 titles and the inability to slice and dice my queue by genre and so on. Still don&#x27

I'm only saying one is easier to solve (on theory) than the other.

Flu is not just a benign annoyance - it has a long-term accumulating damage to health as well.

I am talking about AI for problem solving, not giving it control via robotics and other means over the physical world.

I'm talking about lost productivity and that maybe a billion are affected each year. Heart disease is both a genetic and a lifestyle issue, it's much harder to tackle than creating an anti-viral medicine.

Elon Musk is one of my idols, but his stance on AI is highly disappointing! It doesn't require much of a brain to conclude that without AI, which can vastly increase our intelligence, we're doomed. There's no bigger extinctio

Pushbullet is a huge security risk. All SMS verifications go thru their servers. I asked them if they'd ever implement encryption (zero-knowledge), they haven't responded yet, and one could wonder why...

I understand how they do it and I doubt they will reinvent the wheel (at least I know about Yodlee that's been around for over a decade), but it's still not worthy of exposing my financials for some questionable benefit. If they a

At this gargantuan price, it better be! I've been complaining about Android Lollipop Preview on Nexus 5 and now having a full day on the final version, disappointment is still similar. The GA Lollipop is definitely better, but the over

I created an account a month or so ago, but never completed the signup. Why would a service snoop into my bank accounts instead of, let's say, withdraw $10/month via ACH?! I really don't get this "spare change" idea

How is this idea any better (and cheaper) than a static site generator like Jekyll?

Nice feature, but, again, not available in CloudFormation. I understand the challenge to coordinate releases, I can live with a week or two lag, but usually it's months - CloudFormation still doesn't support basic AWS services. I

S3 versioning could be pricey and painful. Try deleting a versioned bucket! I wrote a tool that I'm gonna open-source if my employer okays it, but the pathetic part is that you get charged for each HTTP request - imagine a bucket with

I think HN should make voting more structured. I'm not sure why my karma should suffer if I don't have a popular opinion. Such example is low-carb diets. I always get downvoted, because most people are hooked up on carbs. Why shou

So, users with high karma are just populists? And since when hackers are populists? Not agreeing with somebody could be highly subjective.

I'm sure the billions using the Internet won't be able to answer what "www" and ".com" stand for, but does it matter? I agree about the hyperlinks and some browsers (Safari) don't even show the URL so the

I disagree. "www" (just like ".com") denotes a URL. Something.anything doesn't look like an address unless you put " http://" in front, which is too technical for most people. I think "www&
