This may be an even more strategic move than the press release suggests, as MLBAM powers other streaming services like HBO Now: https://www.theverge.com/2015/8/4/9090897/mlb-bam-live-strea... It allows Di

People said the same thing about HBO and Hulu and Amazon. Add Netflix and ESPN/Disney and we are still talking less than the average cable bill. Addendum: I think you updated your comment as I replied with the note on balkanization, b

If it slows the team down significantly and that speed is not regained in either performance or development time, then I personally would not hire developers to learn X new language.

Twilio seems to be leaning a little bit in the directions of solutions #1 and #2: https://www.twilio.com/showcase But they are also going further all-in on the developer-first market with things like their serverless offeri

There are distinct sound differences, although they may be less obvious to a layman, the same way functional programming vs OOP would just "look like code" to someone who was not a developer. For example, Fenders, especially model

I'd gladly accept small amounts of cryptocurrency to take pictures of stuff IRL to help train ML/CV algorithms or populate Google Maps. I was in a Lyft and the drivers use Waze which has the option for them to take a picture of th

Getting a job is out of it as there are no much tech opportunities where I live, and I have pretty much lucked out severally on the freelancing side of things. Remote work is still popular and if you freelanced enough, don't you have

AmazonFresh has never been about delivering groceries--it has been about learning last mile logistics in cities. With this move they can a) accelerate that and b) kill Instacart. The press release they are working backwards from is: "A

AmazonFresh has been delivering groceries for years training for precisely this moment. This move allows them to very quickly expand that program nationally.

This comment deserves much more attention; positioning matters. If your pasta was twice as good for half the cost people would probably still convince themselves there's something inherently inferior about 5 euro pasta and that it sho

Hello fromtheshadows, I will give you two pieces of advice you may think conflict, but they do not. 1) Your fellow interns might be trying too hard. You may be too young to recognize this but unless they are truly exceptionally gifted soci

This is a very smart move by Facebook, assuming they can walk the UGC line. They are in pole position to do that, too, because of the social graph data they have (e.g., only promote filters trending among friends or friends-of-friends). If

Right now Echo/Alexa is still surprisingly bad at NLP(1), so its strength seems to be in simple integrations with platforms that have done the heavy lifting. I can't, for example, have Echo give me travel times to work by subway o

Most users do not use password managers, thus most users won't remember the password you generate and you will have the same problem.

I also find your characterization of a 26 year old as a failure irksome, but you're also confusing a novelist's subject matter with their person, which is uncorrelated. Even if it were, you'd have to somehow resolve quotes l

I also use inbox zero, but it took me 15 years to get to that point. That's quite a learning curve, and not built into email at all--it's something you have to discover outside of Gmail or any other email client. Combine that wi

I'm at a loss for why this is targeted for iPhone and not tablets. At least for me tablets are in the uncanny valley where they are large enough to be used for media consumption (i.e. watching Netflix in bed) AND the speakers are too

Because companies are pretty defensive their brand and also in some cases the contracts with modeling agencies may be a factor. Source: I work at Amazon and am working closely with product imaging at the moment.

I think you have it all right except for the end. If Amazon made an extra 4 billion dollars a year they would use it to attempt to dominate yet another market. There are businesses inside the company that do make profit and they are alrea

I have a feeling you're right considering the Mission district is also in his results, and at ~2800 for a one bedroom it is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in the US.
