Macrumors says they are going to differentiate themselves by deeply integrating with the Apple ecosystem and having a better speaker. These aren't real selling points. Google Home integrates very well with Google products (out of the b

Could isolate the text by compositing neighbor images and getting the pixels that don't differ. The background is moving, the text is not. This would also allow you to extract out the subs without having to OCR them/get characters

I love Android Pay. If a place accepts it, I 100% use it over a card. It's near instantaneous, it's more secure (the merchant isn't getting my real card data), it's easy for me to audit, and it means I don't need

Chipreaders are terribly slow, I don't understand how they could not develop a secure payment system without 10-second~ delay times. My local grocery store installed new chip readers and within a week had taped over time in favor of th

Agreed. I misplaced my key for a bit, and it would prompt me for my password randomly after I clicked 'cancel'. Like, half hour later, prompt again. Adding on to that, you can't right click the taskbar icon to quit, you have

Accessories are either $1 for random brand, or $30 for Apple/Samsung. Providing them for $10 while spending a bit more time on QC is a sweet spot, of course they're beating Apple and Samsung.

Shield TV. Hands down the best steamer you can get. And on top of the streaming benefits, the game stream function is legitimately good. Input lag was not really noticable, even when playing something like rocket league. When I bought it, I

Hyperloop is a 'stupid overelaboration of an existing, proven idea'? I was not aware we had so many proven 600mph high speed rails.

Thank you! Couple followup questions: if I have a box at home that I intend to install ubuntu to run random services, should I use minikube since it's just one node/box, or should I give it the full K8s treatment? Also, what is th

This is very fascinating; it's so interesting when something as simple as the shape of an iron ingot can have such huge effects.

15% is still 15% compared to the 0% they pay on money funneled to tax havens. A lower rate won't stop this; a closing of the loophole will.

I am very surprised at the negativity in the reply to this. Of all things to gameify, brushing your teeth is a fantastic subject. It helps develop good habits for a personal and typically solitary activity.
