I am not an encryption expert, but to the casual techy follower, homomorphic encryption seems like it could be huge for the union of machine learning and digital privacy. Are there any experts on HN who could comment on how mature this tech

I don't necessarily think "talent" wants transit. Something that matters to every job seeker is what "home" is going to look like, and being close to transit opens up more types of "home" to choose from. S

Obligatory reference to Betteridge's Law of Headlines... But seriously, the idea that you vote with your dollars becomes even more compelling when you have billions to throw around. Unfortunately when you cast your vote and what you en

The author is entitled to his perspective, but I would equate this article to JS articles titled "A framework author's advice to avoid frameworks". Its a trendy article because it takes something that a lot of people use and

It was interesting to hear apple state that one of their goals for building products was to make them last longer in order to minimize waste. People often accuse hardware manufacturers, including apple, of intentional obsolescence. I am int

I have been using DDG for about a year now, although I had tried using it years ago. It works fine for simple queries( e.g. search name of company rather than typing out url). But I basically have !g programmed into my fingers for everythin

Macro-economically, a market crash is a signal that investors don't trust public companies to be revenue generating engines in the future. Small market corrections occur when other related assets or systems readjust, like housing marke

Real estate is valuable because it is a constrained asset rather than a productive asset. Given supply and demand, there are going to be areas where property is extremely valuable, but wealth creation is not accomplished primarily through o

What happened to Magic Leap's advanced photonic lightfield chip? I thought the thing that made Magic Leap special was their light field tech, but this just appears to be stacked wave guides, which other than having 2 focal planes seems

I agree wholeheartedly with this sentiment, but I doubt they are letting the sticking accelerator software bug affect their positions on mobility in the future. It appears that autonomous vehicle progress has an interesting moat where being

Tesla is selling autonomous-but-don't-quote-us but that doesn't qualify them as a strong contender. The autobahn system isn't large enough to be difficult to map out, and highway driving is the easy case.

I must be in the minority here, but the AR future is really compelling to me. The amount of money that Magic Leap was able to raise without a real product is astounding. But I do see wearable computing as the future. Of course we all hope i

I am surprised Toyota would want to work with Uber at this point - it seems Uber's ills are piling up faster than their successes. Could this be a desperation play where if Toyota doesn't partner up with somebody, they won't

I am excited for there to be competition in this area, but articles like this continue to remind me how far ahead Waymo appears to be. I can only imagine that driverless taxis as a service is going to be a winner-take-all industry, and Waym

The removal of contrib is surprising but probably necessary. It will be interesting to see which projects get integrated vs removed. I'll be watching bayesflow and keras.
