Detroit seems like a fantastic choice. Both Toronto and Chicago are fairly close. All the great Michigan and Ontario schools can be tapped and the city has tremendous potential to grow. Hopefully, they'd be nicer to their local populat

This is also my first thought when people say "Well, nobody wants to move to the Bay area anymore, everybody's leaving". Well, why is the rent still so high?

Sick! I'd suggest expanding the trial period a little more Most drivers I've seen complain about their margins all the time. However, if they could try you for longer I have no doubt they'd see the savings, get hooked and gla

I've seen practically all drivers do this manually while grumbling! Great catch! Is there a trial period of sorts?

Yeah should've clarified. I don't approve of the chiding, just giving more constructive advice. Domain experts like you are critical to start-ups in complex domains like farming.

People are chiding you for your bitterness, but apart from an idea and technical prowess, there is a third (very important) pillar that you have to offer. Sales. Can you gather 50 other farmers that have the same need for automation, cheque

I am very interested in a product like this even if for just individual use. Your pricing says $49/month depending on "meaningful" changes suggested? What does that mean? Another good idea is for new programmers in a producti

Those are totally fair. The one remain barrier that SF suffers from is 'starting a family'. Looking around, it seems you need a level-above the regular engineer's salary for you to afford a family living in San Francisco.

It sucks that you have to choose between, "Mostly, because I'm a nerd and wanted to be around other like-minded nerds and fulfill my nerd dreams." and "taking vacations, buying homes, and generally having a nice life. &q

This is super cool, I also appreciate the demo's you have on your website (airlines, MBA schools etc.). Makes the end result super clear. I don't know much about NLP but are you only using unsupervised learning on the raw data?

Project Tango can kind of do this already, albeit the quality of the pointcloud tends to break the illusion. The other solution, at this large scale, is to have pre-baked maps, we know where all the big occlusions are in a city.

Did they claim otherwise about their 2015 numbers anywhere? The only thing they mention is about Q1 2017. The 2017 numbers seemed to have improved drastically, something the article recognises (but the HN headline does not :S).
