That's a good idea , but it could be greatly improved by offering lawyers(which are surely time strapped) , a tool like RegexMagic[1] , which really simplifies the learning needed and lets one easily understand complex regex's. [1

I was refering to three passengers sharing. Versus two passengers sharing it's a cost decrease of 33%. Maybe over one time trip it doesn't matter much, but if you're doing it alot ,for many 33% of their total transportation b

Maybe the networks now are quite weak. But in a future where a large percent of rides are shared by 3 passengers on average, or maybe even more via SUV(for cost savings of course), being the dominant provider is tied directly achieving opti

My guess is that one thing that future software will have is automatic generation of user interfaces. I think "naked objects" or "apache isis" are the best examples we've got for that for now , but they are rooted i

You didn't read the article and it shows. They compared treatment-as-usual to treatment-as-usual and the online intervention. An my guess is that treatment-as-usual does include meds.

I think they've improved in this regard: they've added an independent microcontroller inside the core(which will probably run the arduino layer).This will solve compatibility and real time issues. This is in general targeted to a

One use case in production i might see for this: 1. Using callbacks as commonly done in javascript, might offer a very easy to use way to write low power code(because the chip can automatically sleep between callbacks). This is nice versus

That sounds great. Did you teach them mostly what's on better explained? Also I wonder how would math studies look if we teach people the intuition, a bit of the formalism and lot of how to use numeric and symbolic tools - instead en

The noise cancellation in these is so much better than competitors, according to reviews. So i wonder whether machine learning can learn such noise cancellation algorithms and let others compete with bose ? Because lower cost "noise bu

Great analysis with lots of details.I wonder thought: what percentage of u.s. eCommerce orders are done through amazon's warehouses? and what percentage is using their store(even though it's 3rd party) ?

> outside of the US Amazon has just barely started to expand beyond books. Not sure it's correct. For example amazon has a 2-day service across Europe from any amazon warehouse in the continent. But maybe what they do is not enough

UBER is far from a commodity. The ride sharing business(especially if we talk about 2 or more people sharing a ride with the same driver) has strong network effects - the more passengers you have ,you can offer cheaper prices and share ride

Yes i agree, sometimes "production" goes too far. In some of those complex case it's even wiser to allocate much more time in advance from doctors and nurses, to prevent future complications - which are much more costly. But

Sorry for the late response - i'm across the Atlantic. I wonder, with the API , would it be possible for a startup to build such "second opinion service" , with reasonable costs ? will you block it?
