Similar to google now cards. Showing travel times based on appointments, flights, etc. Also, exchange rate if I'm abroad, and gate changes/notices. Some of those are less feasible if you have to keep it on-device, but perhaps Goog

Looks like a really cool idea, especially since the recommendation engine can take into account more than simply time statistics (which their front page doesn't convey well). The best part of this is that it does all the recommendation

In fewer words, Inbox started as a UX redesign, was met with so much resistance that the team lead had to write a "You are not the target user" post internally, and to salvage the sunk costs, they released it as a separate interfa

IANAL, but legal protection for trademarks extends to any usage wherein it would create sufficient consumer confusion. Great example: Apple v. Apple. The computer company agreed to not enter the music industry. To the extent of which they g

My personal opinion: stop focusing on the technology of how to put it out there and just put it out there. Another API is another API that open data developers need to work with, which may or may not be better than any of the existing solut

There are two basic causes of this, and they apply to a lot more than just airfare: 1. Price discrimination based on market segmentation. As others have described, the consumer behavior of an international traveler is that they are willing

Very good point. Perhaps you could use libclang? Regarding the import code, even if you start with just emitting a C header, it would make it easier to use your tool to design file formats.

Link to the repo for the lazy: https://github.com/binspector/binspector Interesting project. Is there support for importing/exporting from a C header? Or generating file import code given a bfft file?

"Fun" aside, they should take a page from GRRM, and look at what makes popular fantasy fiction so popular, and borrow some elements from there (such as allowing nations to commit atrocities during worldgen). The occasional godly i

Tracked down a bug in the inhouse foundation library that turned out to be a gcc feature (bug). We were convinced that the code was schizophrenic, since the debugger would never break inside the function, but we could step through code that

If I had infinite time and patience, I'd tinker with this to show the differences in socket code, specifically with the approaches outlined in the C10k document. Although it was largely unfinished, the approach outlined in C10m would b
