How would I describe myself? Three words. Hard-working, Alpha male, Jackhammer, Merciless, Insatiable.

Softbank's deals - Sprint, WeWork, and now this - make me question their financial intelligence.

The whole premise reminds me of the infamous "impossible is nothing" resume submitted to UBS back in 2006. Sadly, the author died. For those unfamiliar, it included: * Cover letter * Resume: one and a half pages * Writing sample:

I am Russian, and you just blew my mind with that piece of info.

I've only experimented with Upwork (with mixed results), what are some of the better "middlemen" in your experience?

I remember someone doing a Show HN and getting heavily criticized and downvoted for their spam practices (as I recall, their tool was designed to bypass Gmail's antispam measures for "marketers") - despite making a lot of mon

Just a crazy thought, from seeing all these posts referencing their interview materials: 1. could a company go after you for violating the NDA 2. could a company, in theory, also make claim to your IP Would love to hear your opinions.

how effective is it at identifying mysterious objects, the way it's crowdsourced on Reddit's "/Whatisthis"? (meaning, how big is the index?)

Cool project! One of the challenging use cases mentioned in the description is people taking a picture and asking the search engine, 'What is this?'. Has this been solved? (it is a very hard problem if taken beyond simple object

... on the other hand, this is what IBM does have, that I would leverage if I were CEO: 1. solid mainframe business (yes) 2. massive customer list 3. significant infrastructure (softlayer etc) that could be turned into a cloud offering 4. h

I agree that they need more than just a CEO. IBM's problems are very serious: 1. mid-level staff that's not technical, unable to get results quickly (one tends to get that mentality from massive open-ended consulting engagements w

Satya did amazing things for Microsoft. It shows that recovery is possible, even for a behemoth like IBM. However, like you said - brilliant fellows aside, IBM employees as a whole are much less technical.Most would never pass a tech interv

That's so true. They need a Steve Ballmer ("Developers, developers!").

by mv4 7y ago
It's more than that. IBM is trying to win developer mind share, future tech decision makers are strategically important to them in their current situation.

It's amazing how many of the top-selling IP cameras on Amazon (including "Amazon's Choice" like Wyze) have buyer reviews where people discovered their cameras contacting servers in China, Russia, etc. And that's why

Thank you for explaining this. Still, while this presents a very interesting scientific problem, the engineer in me wonders why these feedback loops are needed for an automaton navigating a 2D terrain and carrying solid objects (unless they

Could you elaborate? The floors appear to be perfectly level, and load weight isn't changing after it's been picked up - so where's all this excessive locomotion coming from?

I have no doubt that organic motion was deliberately designed that way to impress their intended audience. Yes, it makes sense to mimic nature sometimes. But when it comes to robotic manipulators, loaders, etc - there's absolutely no r

That swinging counterweight is a major hazard, and negates the idea of having a small foot print due to 2 wheels... But then I remembered this is probably designed to impress non-engineers, and has nothing to do with safety, or efficiency.
