I don’t know, Uber Share and it’s integration with Google Maps has been a money/time saver for me. Although I do agree about Uber’s valuation part. The whole private equity and exit on listing to stock exchanges is a charade. It must b

Just amazing! Imagine all the physics and knowledge from multiple sciences, disciplines and fields are used when someone tells Amazon Echo to turn on a charger or socket that’s connected to a phone or laptop. Echo -> ISP wires —> Unde

That’s fair point. I can only speak for people I know. Facebook has become less for sharing with friends but more about messenger and events

Tech people and young people are quitting Facebook or have done so. These are the trendsetter groups. We have likely seen peak of social media

Reading at the comment and $8B acquisition cost and $1M profit. They just need to treat 8000 people. Eventually market forces will take over and cost will come down by magnitudes Hint: genome sequencing

They have 350 hrs of playing per level. They could brute force on these parameters. 1. Detect to_avoid moving obstacles 2. Detect to_avoid stationary obstacles (gaps) 3. Player moves (jump (left, right)(up, far, farthest), walk) 4. Success

How is this different from brute forcing and then recording a success path? Not sure this qualifies as AI

I can share some tips and hope you pull yourself out of this 1. Mediate (seriously do this to better get hold of your thoughts) 2. Do small tasks that create positive feedback loop. Cleaning your room, feeding pets, etc etc 3. Quit social m

Few thoughts 1. Is anyone still buying car? May be it's a huge necessessity in US but most of the cities are fairly packed and have good public transport and improving 2. Idea of self driving car will indeed be a big selling point. S

It's strange to see this story on HN (I read the post). If anything, this shows HN's bias against MS. If there was no MS, it would still have panned out in similar fashion. Young person's first job, leaving home and relations

Do you have the link to back up the statement about running in browsers? Notch is super talented. MC was released in 2009. No way, he didn't know about browsers and Java

Isn't Minecraft written in Java. Many Fortune XX have their entire product lines written in it. Frankly, I don't understand the hate it gets on HN.

Would world had been a better place without Amazon? You may think that it's hurting mom and pop shops. But that's not really true. Without AWS, we would still have 100 people sysadmin teams everywhere and many startups won't

Underrated comment. This seems like a great closure for this, which is a seriously embarrassing development

The article gave the vibe that Hungary is economically doing well despite anti immigration stance. But young Hungarians leave the country in droves. They have fairly low GDP for EU. Just trying to understand if being nationalist is helping

Small anecdote: I did travels through Europe a while back and did lots of walking. That's fairly normal in many European towns and cities. Really felt great and decided to do 20k steps a day after return. Which tapered off slowly and u

You mean the same telcos that sell location data of their users to third parties. Using dubiously marketed plans. List goes on. I think they are far away from making a case for looking out for their users.

I can’t tell if this is true or an organized smear campaign against Huawei for monetary reasons.

I would disagree re: MS. They are doing pretty good in enterprise space, their bread and butter. Also whole XBox ecosystem is getting stronger as well

I don't think companies really care. I have seen mass quit recently on a well oiled machine. Tech force, bad management practices. Nothing really changed and no one seem to care. In the end the quit rate was only increasing (the time t

How are these gaps not captured early on in Amazon and similarly on Facebook. It’s like people creating these systems have no clue about the wider world.
