I love that games start to become more like stories or experiences. It gives a new dimension to traditional media. Having said that, failing the expectations can be blamed to the marketing of No Man's Sky.

How about an intel nuc? I suppose that would also work right? Edit: already saw the picture with the pc stick and mac.. awesome!

Uber has volume and the correct branding, both important parts which a company like Audi will need.

Without irony, it would be awesome to have a court system on the internet.

Germany is a unsuitable country for comparison, as they have many highways without speed limits. I would argue that this invalidates the boring part.

Reducing if statements does shrink the possible state space, however using additional abstraction might increase it even further.

Globalization is unfair. The biggest problem is that minimum incomes are different. So that people from one side in the planet can do the same job for less. In Europe it is even more crazy, people from country A can work in country B for a

Pretty interesting, you could sell to different bidders in different countries.

Most graph databases are not optimized for speed. Specific indexes for optimization are missing, while they have been researched by computer scientists. As you said, using a random RDBMS will probably be faster. Having that said, currently

Ethereum is a turing machine that runs code, programming languages are more high level. Creating an ADA-like language is trivial compared to making a scalable blockchain that supports computation. Ethereum itself is more bullet proof, as th

To counter your attack on Buterin, he is aware that writing safe contract code requires proofs and type safety. That is why solidity is compiled to EVM code, so that improved languages could incorporate this. Solidity is built for rapid inn

I am going to guess that he is too busy being a Ph.D. student.

Since the transistors in chips are becoming smaller and smaller, heat is an increasing issue. This is why ARM chips for smartphones and IoT are booming, because their requirements of small chips are compatible with the shrinking size of the

Well, it might be that the research will be done but the hardware is not strong enough. In that case it could be the people creating (and managing) the hardware.

To be fair, pricing of Twillio has always been outrageous. Competitors are offering similar services for lower costs (for example Nexmo and Plivo).

7nm is not the end of Moore's law. The whole reason why there are problems now is because they are switching from paradigm. ASML is the largest supplier of photolithography systems and has been upgraded from 32 nm to the next 10 nm. Ho

The benefit of switching between systems is that power will be redistributed. The current problem is that organisations who previously offered superior value, are now abusing their position.

I guess recommendation, machine learning, infrastructure (multiple servers over earth), fraud detection. From the outside they also have messaging, an automatic pricing feature, and I remember them announcing that they want to offer extra s

I guess Sam does not really care that much about this specific deal. But he want to make a bigger point so that we all can learn from this.

I found out that, at least here in Europe, package delivery companies let their software be developed per country/department. There is no central IT department. Some departments are super high tech, while others are doing the exact sam

I would say that paid cloud works okay. At least there is some incentive for them to keep it online.

Like you said, Shell is really into gas, and a part of their business is moving gas via large ships. In Netherlands, gas is the biggest source of energy, which those cars will drive on. So that is why I do not see it as a big problem.

I have used Blendle, and currently for me the problem is that most Dutch people have totally different interests than me. Especially don't like the articles coming from the emails. There are articles on Blendle I like, for example the

Wikipedia has 133,621 active registered users, and 27,755,916 users. Furthermore, Wikipedia has 819,043,068 page edits. While Google will probably have better and more engineers, but they rely on usage statistics, and not experts in the spe

I have an idea to give Servo a great use case. At this moment, for crawling websites and testing web apps phantomjs and Selenium are used. While those libraries are okay, it can definitely be replaced by something better.

I think people might underestimate the power of an open source search engine. In my eyes it is like wikipedia versus the old paper encyclopedia books. Improvements to search results in Google are done by a relatively small amount of people
