Bell Labs and like we’re throwing money at a wall too without a clear customer and yet they still invented the transistor, the PC, digital video cameras and so on. Wtf is Google doing? They don’t make good products and they don’t invent tha

Well Google keeps putting out new products. And I hear you get promotions when you release a new product. Good products come through refinement. But every time you use most Google stuff, it feels like it’s still version 1. When compared to

Still, that’s what sets a good manager from an average, no? No different with how there are relatively few good engineers but most are average or bad? I mean there are companies that put out good products but most are average at best. I sup

This doesn’t look like AI. This looks like an algorithm like how hash map is an algorithm. It’s also being presented at SIGGRAPH which further makes me think it’s just an algorithm to map motion capture data to a 2D image. We can already ma

I don’t disagree that the boom/bust cycle could be created by centralization, but I also don’t care I suppose. I mean, there’s no perfect solution out there so a boom/bust is a reasonably mild price. A large reason why crypto, at

Paying for DDoS protection sucks then CloudFlare comes along and provides it for free (within reason).

In this case, it’s not 50/50. It’s 83/17 where 83% is the “feds win.” https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/06/11/only-2-of-f...

What’s the point of disruption without a solution? Like let’s say my sink keeps leaking so you suggest smashing it. Great, you fixed the leak, but I have no sink now. Now if you came along and said you’d smash my sink and then replace it wi

Usually the risk for something like is that if there's some unexploited bug in the USB stack or the OS. Which, from what I know from writing software, I don't trust shit. I think the risk is insanely low for your average person be

People seem to see new developments as black boxes that you can't analyze. Like they see something new and ask themselves "will it work?" and then say it will work or not based on whether the last thing worked... with zero nu

The problem isn’t that Twitter is labeling media with true funding. If it was, you’d be seeing under MSNBC or CNN or Fox News who their main sponsors are (which are probably bigger than NPR’s government contribution). So by cherry picking o

I don’t understand how this is going to take off if no one is going to make money from this. A server can’t really charge its users. I and most people would probably not pay to help support a server. Twitter works because most people who ac

Reading the comments, it sounds like the perpetrator somehow first got the shares and this is not normally possible? Sounds fishy. I don’t know anything about EVE though.

I don’t think it’s only helpful to the algorithm. It’s also helpful for me as a subscriber. If I want to watch episodes of Breaking Bad, I don’t want you to randomly throw in episodes or M*A*S*H (even though both are good).

Well if someone asked me to do that, I would suggest that it’d be based off their recent tweet history and not just one tweet. And I would make my case in the meeting. Second, it’s already been done so my next suggestion would be to look wh

Yeah but that doesn’t mean anything. Kodak saw a train coming, did a study that told them that they had to do something, but then sat on the tracks. Fuji, who was also big in the chemical film business, came out just fine.

If I’m living in an area where they don’t go off often (like right now) and a car alarm woke me up, I would definitely check. And I imagine if I triggered a car alarm, I would back off.

It doesn’t need to be mentioned though. I’m Asian if I read an Asian name doing something that Asians don’t normally do (like the recent accolades for Everything Everywhere), it’s going to inspire me. You don’t have to point it out. The peo

The type of people who volunteer are different from the general population. That’s why things like public opinion surveys have to be random and why jury duty selection isn’t volunteer.

The easier solution would be “take video for 2 hours, write down 6 points, fit curve.” It sounds like OP was having fun. But I wouldn’t have bought a thermometer to throw away as an alternative.

No but your point is that it is a weakness of the democratic process when clearly the democratic process created both outcomes. You also made the point that a weakness of democracy is that it follows the general sentiment, but clearly the U

Building with one bus is just easier. It's not some nefarious end goal. It's like putting everything over IP (VoIP, video over IP, audio over IP, etc.) and then just running Ethernet throughout your building. From an engineering p

You didn't provide evidence. Your argument is that "the government didn't take Russia seriously enough" Proper evidence would be an study of government officials in power and their position at the time. It is not 3 hand-

A little over 10 years ago, Xi Jinping came into power. The ship massively changed direction with Xi. He literally made his own term limit forever 5 years ago. China 10 years before is way different.

They’re just random news sites you’re linking though. They’re not even political news magazines. News editors don’t enact policy. Who cares what they thinks.

Are you suggesting someone should have pre-emptively invaded Russia after Crimea, thus instead of worrying about a possible full-blown invasion, get it out of the way and just guarantee one? Because as far as I know, the right people expect

PWAs and apps are practically the same. You have some code. It turns into bytecode. It runs on a machine (bare metal or virtual machine). The only difference is the APIs it has access to. The reason why PWAs suck is that it has access to so

None of those companies are known for UX. Palm and RIM were so behind in the field to begin with — they needed to catch up before they even thought about reinventing web apps. As another example, if Google were to say tomorrow that they wou

Every time I use Siri, it reminds me of this problem. And it’s true that humans are not necessarily better. But that’s not entirely true. My closest friends know me . If I say “put up some turnstile,” they know I’m probably talking about t
