What in the world. The challenge was the natural language processing. Considering that Watson did that part admirably well, complaining about computers having better reflexes is just silly.

I so hope you're right, but I think this firmly falls into the "This time it's different category". Each bubble has people saying this for various different reasons. I upvoted but disagree because no amount of explanation will make me diges

This is what I don't get. ASP.NET scales pretty well as Joel opines. Why do people think .NET is bad just because it feels enterprise-y? More: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWHfY_lvKIQ

Unrelated note: Some blogger reverse engineered the algo and posted sample code on his blog as an education experience. He got a takedown notice and was forced to remove the post from his blog. Can't find the source right now, will look it

My attention span is way too low for something like Football. I love soccer because most of the time, people are actually playing instead of standing around.

My intention is not piss anyone off, but my first exposure to atheism was because I watched Chris Hitchens speak at Google. He lead me to Dawkins who literally blew my mind away. That lead to me reading a quite a bit more about the human co

Okay, Google links to pages to buy that book. Revenue goes to Microsoft. You can see clearly all over the place that it's a Microsoft book. You can browse where it came from originally. Microsoft "copies" the results. Does not say where the

That comment came from Rubin in the context of Jobs completely botching up the definition of "open-ness". Yet another out of context reference just to be an utter douche. He's been that way ever since Google went after Apple during 2010 IO.

I know, I try to come back from work, switch off for sometime and then put in a few more hours at night building something interesting, so I don't really want to think at all if that's even possible. Legos are an interesting idea.

I actually think Facebook is a pretty poor name, like Microsoft. Sometimes, the only reason why these names sound okay is because of repetition.

So HN is in the first spot for this query now. And it redirects to this question. Make of that what you will.

Gruber pisses me off to no end. So much inaccurate analysis, it's mind boggling. He became particularly unbearable after Google went after Apple during the Gingerbread keynote. He just hates all things Google and you can almost always ignor

Agree, there are also an incredibly huge number of bodies out there to colonize for resources, and the possibility of Aliens coming over to colonize us while we're still stuck on this planet are incredibly remote. Honestly, I think if you d

The more I read about our profession in general, the more it seems to suck as you build a career / get in your thirties. I really hope it doesn't for me, because I'm not good at much else, lets see.

Really cool, I always look at these 1 pic a day programs and think I should do that sometimes, and the longest I've done is ~1 week. What I think would be cooler is if you could randomize it a bit. Privacy concerns?

There was another article of this sort too. I'm curious about how soap itself originated though. It's alright if someone somewhere had an 'aha' moment and started using soap for hygeine, but for practically the whole world to use it, someth

There's this other app called Dayta which basically does the same thing, although I'm not sure if the person that made it is actively maintaining it. What I'd really like is some way to do interesting correlations between some of the plots

Really neat! I wanted to do the exact same thing when I started using this other tracking app called Dayta. Any chances of a mobile app?
