   Here's the link to Process Explorer: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/proc... It also has an option to replace Task Manager so that it comes up when you do Ctrl+Shift+Esc, etc.

   I think this impression has a lot to do with current implementations of VR and AR. Most people who've tried VR probably agree that it's already a unique experience. Even without state of the art hardware, it feels different than

   I think the correlation between money and skin is also partly due to factors like diet and lifestyle. The more money you have the more you can afford to eat healthier foods, keep a regular sleep schedule, spend time on regular exercise, etc

   Right, I think it would be more accurate to say "The machine, smart enough to choose the easier approach for solving the task". It simply found an accurate and easy way to pass the discriminator and stuck with it.

   This is a really interesting point to think about. I've considered this before: if there were some world superpower with an unstoppable military and a "good" political system, would it be right or wrong for them to take over

    I'm curious, are there papers in other ML fields that could be considered breakthroughs comparable in impact to AlexNet? For NLP the recent ELMo and BERT papers for word embeddings come to mind, although their scope is somewhat differe

    I think that's not a great comparison. Hacker News is still essentially a niche site known to people who care about a specific set of fields relevant to startups. If you asked a random person on the street they probably wouldn't k

    Interestingly the University of Washington put out an email notice nearly an hour before AlertSeattle sent one. You'd think the city would make it a higher priority to let everyone know that 911 is down. Not sure if they did a text mes

    I think the best example of Chinese being "hard" is that a huge number of Chinese-Americans who have spoken Chinese almost daily from childhood can converse fluently but rarely read/write above a middle school level. With man

    I must still be jetlagged or something, because I skimmed the article but still don't understand - how can the 25% figure be true for both men and women? Surely if one gender is, on average, matching with people more deseriable then th

    I think the 80/20 problem - the top 80% of women matching with top 20% of men [1] - is a major issue preventing dating (not hookups) with current apps. Most of my guy friends who use Tinder swipe right very generously because they don&

    I was recently talking with some folks at an incubator about a website I was building, and one of the technical guys suggested I consider switching to serverless before launching (and I thought it was a good suggestion). Serverless is an ea

    I'd say that 80% of the value lies in getting to see Earth against the black backdrop of space. As the pilot in today's flight said, "million dollar view".

    Right, it's easy to make fun of the interviewers, but it seems incredibly unlikely to me that they would miss something like that on a resume (or that the interviewee would fail to bring it up). It's more likely that they just wan

    At this point Uber and Lyft are really just taxi companies with nice apps. Add the driver reviews, GPS locations, and requesting a ride via an app to a traditional taxi system and it's the same. The only major advantage they have right

    Well, TIL that the ACLU was in YC W17 thanks to the "top 100 tweet count" page. I was kind of surprised by that, are there other well-established organizations that have joined YC at a (very) late stage or are they unique?

    Are there more trustworthy options for Android smartphones in the US? I was recently shopping for an upgrade from my LG G4 and settled for the S9+. I'm pretty satisfied, actually, but it really felt like I had an extremely limited sele
