On Slide 15, they casually write: "Today Cortana knows about you, your organisation and about the world. In the future, Cortana will also know your entire professional network to connect dots on your behalf so you stay one step ahead.&

Well, you can always adapt your speech to your audience. But I don't see why it should be seen as elitist.

Yeah that was the first thing I noticed as well. I'm somewhat surprised (a little sad, even) that the BBC chose not to write it in the subjunctive mood, which is precisely what is required here. I thought when I read the headline that

Nah, the goal isn't to learn a new language per se. It's in response to an actual need. I've sketched it out quite in detail (I previously sketched out db table schemas) a while back, and now I want to build it. I'm just

Nah, it's not too hard -- it just has a bit too much magick for my liking. I'm comfortable with Ruby and the MVC pattern. It comes with too many things that are free but I don't need. For example, for my blog, I didn't u

Ah right, thanks! Ctrl+R, regedit Now only if we had a version that could connect to the internet. Right now it tells me that it can't find a modem and that I should call MSN Technical Support! Cute.

Doesn't seem to work too well on Windows 10. It might be missing some DLLs. /s Super cool! (I really can't get it to click on anything though)

Okay, I have to ask: it's been years since I came across someone else who'd heard of (nevermind used) Odigo[1]. Anyone remember that? It was one of the most beautiful applications I'd used, one that mixed magical fantasy with

That bit about sodomy was hilarious†. I imagine he'd been looking sapiosexual? Good stuff. I never really thought about what Tinder's founders would be like but I'll admit that his geekiness was a bit of surprise. A pleasant

These are truly beautiful. I know we say this every time there's a post like this but it's worth repeating: I can't get over the fact that these are high definition images of the surface of a planet that's just a dot in

In Paris right now. We are in shock. At both the scale and the extremely coordinated nature of the attacks on civilians at multiple locations. I work near rue Bichat and Le Petit Cambodge, a warm little restaurant in the 10e that my colleag

Thank you, this looks fantastic! I recently bought Leonard Susskind's "The Theoretical Minimum" [0] so I could better understand theoretical physics. The explanations are short and clear, but I'm starting to realize that

Fascinating! This is exceptionally well-written. I can't imagine it being very easy to communicate mathematical concepts and the excitement of the discovery (!) in ways that even the uninitiated (like myself) can relate to. His discove

I tried both Hugo and node.js-based Metalsmith[0] for a new version of my personal website that I launched just about a month ago. Ended up choosing Metalsmith because of its super minimalist everything is a package approach, but Hugo looke

Someone else recommended Vintersorg. It's now on my list of bands to check out, along with many others from this thread. But while we're on the topic of Swedish artists (who have unrelated day jobs†), I absolutely have to mention

It didn't even occur to me to try to read the song in any but the most literal sense. Your explanation is very compelling! The only thing that detracts from it is the relative cheerfulness of the song (especially the keyboard/guit

I don't listen to death too much, but really enjoyed the last melodic death band I stumbled upon. These are great, thanks!

01 is actually how I discovered Ayreon. I'm now going back and listening to older albums. Was surprised at the number of incredible guests! (Bob Catley, James LaBrie, Bruce Dickinson, Floor Jansen, Jordan Rudess, Hansi Kürsch...).

You're right, it actually isn't! This has more to do with the information paradox and black hole complementarity and is not related to the collapse of the wave function. I've removed the sentence and put an edit notice.

I don't know Tool at all, actually. Listening to Lateralus now though, thanks for the heads-up!

Author here. I wasn't sure if it was bad etiquette to submit my own article to HN but decided in the end that it might actually interest the community. For fans of metal and sci-fi, I should mention that Dutch musician Arjen Anthony Lu

I love this story. (In fact, I even wrote and recorded a song based on it, from the perspective of Kuno). I find the societal obsession with ideas fascinating. Especially this bit: > In the evening she looked again. They were crossing a

This was written in surprisingly easy-to-understand language. The original article[0] goes into a little more detail but mentions something fundamental about black holes that I do not yet understand: "The so-called teleology of the bla
