It may be OK for you but there are at least three real concerns here: 1- There is no way to set your privacy level. 2- Things that Google/Siri/Alexa know about you are not limited with the name of the bar you go frequently. They k

Technically true but I don't think consumers care much about that distinction. They care about the value provided by the device and I think the value provided by AR over context aware HUD is incremental rather than revolutionary. The d

The most anti-communist populations are the populations that have been ruled by communism (Eastern Europe). I don't think that's true. The most anti-communist population in the world is by far in the US. I guess the close second

Maybe touching to lips gesture is a body language sign of not telling the exact truth: https://youtu.be/90-S1M7Ny_o?t=2043 He says "I don't have anything to announce" so technically not lying.

I was in the winning team in SW once and another time in the second team. Story is very familiar. I think the key takeaway is that you should never take SW seriously. Hackathons are not the way the startups are built. It's not a real t

We already have that 'fridge' in the form of Pyramids of Giza or other ancient tombs. They even have their 'insurance' and incentives as the treasures and golden coins they are buried with. After thousands of years we ar

This one was very good actually. Entertaining and very well arranged. I'm sold with the idea that some of us will prefer computer generated music in few years. There is even more potential for popular music. I'm eager to see how t

A niche news reader for startup people. Seems like a very useful app idea. I could use such an app everyday if you can execute it well.

Why not? What they achieved is a perfectly scientific way of resolving a mystery. Besides, they provide a huge amount of data to mine possibly with a very high information content. This is similar to using telescopes to observe distant gala

I see this idea very promising. This problem is a very good research topic for academics. I'm sure the current shortcomings can be fixed. The main problem is that all the transactions should be public, but the individual votes should b

This reminds me of the Marx's theory of Surplus Value, which implies that "profit" equals the "stolen" labor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surplus_value

Such manipulations are typical for the pro-Islamic AK Party. This was not a democratic reform, it's just propaganda. There are no x, w, q letters in Turkish language hence no place for them in Turkish alphabet. A true democratic reform

It's inaccurate that the protests are subverted by these 3 political parties. This may be a pro-government or right-wing argument and it lacks the understanding of the true nature and motivation of the protests. It all started as a pacifist

The only problem with "Greek Yogurt" is that there is no separate thing as Greek Yogurt. It's just a western marketing name for strained yogurt. Yogurt is a food of Turkish origin and even the words Yogurt and Chobani are directly from Tur

Two wrongs don't make a right. Hiring is broken in general and it's even more broken in SW and engineering. Not only hiring is broken, but most exams and tests are also broken. It's always possible to cheat, game the system or fake. When we

I completely agree with your second point. The emphasis should be on problems rather than the "ideas". That's how real innovation works. Ideas are cheap, abundant and mostly unimportant. Problems and challenges are the real thing.

I agree. Their assumption must be that OCR fails when a letter has covered regions, and to make it more readable to humans they provide the missing information in other time frames. But the letters have very nice borders and shadows, they a

These are inductive and deductive ways of estimating the same unknown. Both ways are valid and more helpful when used combined. They're far from the reality but their purpose is to provide a general idea.

I think it's that annoying because there is a mismatch between your intention (scrolling the page incrementally) and its reaction (moving to the next "slide"). It acts out of your control.

Whiteboard interviews have another fundamental flaw. Introverted people (typical for programmers) tend to perform terribly when they're watched and being evaluated. Even when you're provided with Google, docs and REPL the most important too

Thanks, you're right. What I really meant was something backed by data. This is more about business management practices or motivational psychology and "optimum working hours" must be a well studied topic. There must be more than some weak

Wow, one of those lists that we're at the top position as Turkey, with an almost 50-hour work week (plus 10-15 hours for commuting). I work in a science park inside a university campus and it's mandatory to work at least 45 hours a week. I
