By default, Brave blocks ads and their ads platform is disabled. As for Chromium's performance, I think it'll improve over time as MS started using it for their Edge browser and are committed to improve performance and battery lif

Brave is great, especially on mobile. Being able to use Youtube in the background, with the phone screen off, is a killer feature.

That's a very important point: Firefox missed the boat on mobile and Mozilla would need a miracle to increase its marketshare. I personally use Brave on mobile which is great since it natively blocks ads and allow me to use Youtube wit

While cool in theory, I can't imagine the noise pollution and airspace traffic that would be generated by these drones.

Wow, to know that a company bought fake reviews is one thing, but to know that Amazon themselves recommended to them to do so is another thing.

Reducing can mean helping developing countries advance to a point where they have a social safety net, less children per family by having better sex education, more opportunities for women, access to contraceptives.

Perhaps not really relevant to the discussion, but what is the role of Microsoft's president within the company?

Apple hasn't really been on the bleeding edge for a while now. Android phones had bigger screens, wireless charging, quick charging, NFC payment years before the iPhone had those features. Apple strengths are in integration, design and

If Google can bypass the carriers entirely, which from what I understand they're trying to do with RCS, then this could be interesting.

Migrating away from Microsoft won't be easy. Despite high licensing costs, Windows, AD and Exchange are still great solutions with millions of people familiar with them, good documentation and support. I agree that only public funding

There's enourmous amount of publicly available data to crunch all over the world; Podcasts, TV shows, talk radio, Youtube, etc.

I'm pretty sure platic straws are not being recycled. Paper straws are at least more sustainable.

by remir 7y ago
This could be interesting if other institutions and perhaps even public administrations are willing to participate in this effort and pool resources to make this a sustainable thing. That being said, it's difficult to know what this pr

I tried paper straws a couple of times at A&W and it wasn't that bad. Granted, it was a cold drink, which could perhaps be problematic with hot drinks, but beside a texture difference, I found the paper straw to be an acceptable re

I like the point where the slackers would be forced to work with other slackers because for some of them, this is the only way to motivate them to build a sense of responsibility and urgency. If they can't, then they fail and this will

I'd say MS is pretty well positioned to compete against Google: they have the infrastructure plus an actual good catalogue of games. Sony may not have the infrastructure on their own, but by partnering with Microsoft, they'll beco

Are there any plans of including Monitor directly into the browser?

Because photos aren't the same thing as feeding text to a machine that can spit out dialogue in the voice of someone else. Same thing with "deep fake".

Impressive stuff, and this is only 2019 tech. Now, imagine this kind of technology in 10, 20 or 30 years. Things will get weird for sure.

There have been reports of UFO sightings for 50+ years. This is not a new phenomenon. There were reports of UFOs during WW2 (so called Foo Fighters). If this existed during WW2 it means it started development way before that. The implicatio

Why would you give powerful and highly advanced technology to a race that is constantly fighting itself and doesn't value its native environment enough to protect it?

Training their AI to understand human conversation (see Google Duplex). Press fastforward a couple of years and you have a system that can automate call centers.

Bingo. Take CallJoy, then add their new Duplex phone AI and this is where this is going. Perhaps not today, but definitely in a couple of years.

by remir 7y ago
If we take CallJoy and add their Duplex service, it's easy to see where this is going: call centers and IVR. Companies like Avaya and Cisco are making banks selling solutions for call centers, but what if this could be automated? Perha
