On a side note related to this idea, I wonder if Millenials overcompensated by going to the extreme on the opposite side of the triangle (quantity, price, quality). On Saturday I went to a beer/wine store that's in a predominatel

#2 is what would transform this from a nice niche tool, to something very valuable. In the ecommerce space, tracking competitor pricing is a great example of this type of thing. I can also see use casese for recipe's, finance, health

To be fair, this is likely not because their technology degraded, but rather these particular sites SEO's technology is vastly improved. They have probably automated their targeting so as to be highly ranked on even the most esoteric

I don't think another company will make a better search product doing exactly the same thing Google does. But I do believe there is a real opportunity for, what I'd call a "decentralized" search product.

If there was PHI in that database, equifax would be out of business already. Why does PII not have the same level of scrutiny?

5G is also fundamentally different in one important way. We are moving a way from fewer high powered towers, to a lot more low powered cells. Yes this existed in 4G, but 5G is taking it to the next level.

Sometimes I wonder, what if we just fundamentally took a new approach the OS. Today at the root of your operating system is the file system. It would be interesting if the file system was changed to essentially the concept of a simple obje

if I had to cherry-pick just one, that's probably not the one i'd choose. But I might need to rebase my priorities.

I live in MA. This is for 2 adults, 1 4-year-old, 1 almost 2-year-old. I should mention, this price does not include the cost of lunches (The school provides lunch, my wife buys lunch at work, and I usually snack throughout the day instea

I've thought about making it public, but it's highly optimized for me... also therea no gui. It's just a command line app in python. I could make it open source though. It would be neat to see how other people modify it.

I ended up building my own solution to this problem too (though mine is not open to public) The main thing I wanted to optimize was menu planning. So I wrote a genetic algorithm which will generate a menu, add the score, mutate the menu in

I'm not sure about that. I think you get what you measure, and if you start measuring effeciency, you're going to start seeing a major incentive to make it more effecient.

I wish browsers supported these languages natively. It seems like when the html standard was designed they thought about it. I know the script tag has a language attribute.

There are also some people who have tried to make the argument that the 3rd amendment could protect privacy as well.

You wouldn't integrate it in the browsers, but instead you'd probably want it on the OS level.

I'm just not convinced that's a straightforward question to answer. I once worked for a hardware company that outsourced new hardware development to a contractor. We had a guy in house for maintenance, and the occasional hardwar

In 2019, it's probably not too out of scope for nearly any business to argue software is a core part of their daily activities. The digital transformation is basically done, if in the last 10 years you didn't turn your company in

If you live in the US, does it help? It seems like they're looking for people outside the US using the technology.

Would it be less creepy if facebook had a list of libraries they use, and uploaded a list of missing libraries instead of the total collection?

I believe so, but yes... this script was a one off I wrote just for myself as a proof of concept. Not really cross platform yet :D

Sorry, thought it was obvious from the script. It's not an actual shock collar... I play a loud high frequency beep. It's "shocking" to me :\

I noticed a lot of my procrastination came from habit. Opening Reddit, or Hacker News was the path to a surge of dopamine. Where as getting down to work didn't have the same surge. So I tried to just block "bad sites". Th

Some half decent stuff in here, but I heavily disagree with changing the output of toString. That might cause problems if someone is expecting one output, but the new version creates something new. I don't see a reason why they could

I wonder if being aware of the bubble also led to changes. From what I understand, it's just not normal today for companies to get funding without any real proof of a market. The juicero's, and magic leap's of the world are

In my opinion the real power of slack is the historical search. I can't tell you how many times in my career i've asked a coworker to foward me some email that has critical information in it. On slack, that information is availa
