But that's still more than simply "Hey Siri play something by Rolling stones" or "Ok google play some Johnny Cash" Apple should have opened Siri to spotify.

... And then find your way to search icon, click x to clear current query, hit microphone icon to say song name? By this point I've probably killed 9 people on the road while driving. Compare this with "hey Siri play bob Dylan&#x2

You would still need to find your way to the Spotify app though, so that defeats the point -- because you have to use your hand to unlock the phone, open the app, etc. Compare this with being able to play a song by simply saying "Hey S

Funny you ask -- because boy do I have an answer. Last week I officially switched (reluctantly and with a bad taste in my mouth) from Spotify to Apple Music. Why? Simply because when I'm driving I want to dictate by voice command what

There are solutions for this. I assume you're running up on your RAM because (like me) you have tons of tabs open? If you're one of those people, consider The Great Suspender: https://chrome.google.com/webstore&#x2

Yeah, that doesn't belong there. If I understand it right, the emails are trying to convince you to practice... as one needs to, when learning a language. That's like the only acceptable reason to annoy/spam people, "COM

It's also worth noting that he most likely didn't quite right the speech. He had helpers write the speech. Everyone gets helpers to write/help write speeches. My favorite example is Steve Jobs calling a lot of people to get h

About three or four years ago he tried to do an ama but it didn't really take off. Asides the obvious outing himself, there were plenty of other clues confirming him. Also, I'm pretty sure he has more than one handle. By the way,

He doesn't appear to be a single-purpose account, though he does seem to have a propensity for commenting on political stories with strong emotions. What I find surprising is his account's old age. Early users generally don't

He's on HN (pg confirmed this a few years back) but most people don't know his handle. Incidentally, I'm 99% sure I do, but I guess I won't out him.

As far as I know, there is a formal requirement to have, e.g., a BSc to get a PhD or a masters. Put it this way: can you provide even a single example that proves this to be false? I know of just one instance actually (guy who is now a pr

Oh wow, I did not know that. So basically, Vive is a potential AR device as well. Speaking of which, I have the mattel view-master headset that I use with an iphone 6. If you use the default mattel app, the device looks through the camera,

Yep that's true. But I will put up with that -- the "good" of it being easy on the eyes trumps the "bad" of latency issues. Though, let's hope the technology matures and this problem is solved to some extent.

Funny that this is what you guys wanted it for. I swear, I have been wanting this SO BAD for so long for my monitor. LCDs are bright and make my eyes hurt. I want this for my monitor.

I don't have a horse in this race, but, is there any reason to believe Vive won't have DRM too? I mean... Steam is like the biggest DRM software ever made (although they've made it work well).

I have no experience with Unity. Can you please explain the kind of work involved? (btw I have no interest in gaming, but am interested in all non-gaming things you could possibly do with 3d-modeling, Unity, etc.)

That's pretty impressive; especially for something I have never heard of before or even understand still what it is about.

Small question if anyone might know: are the physical dimensions of this new v2.0 camera board identical to the past ones? (e.g. version 1.3?). For the most parts they look identical.
