That is not an entirely irrational decision for many web sites. There is a liability that comes from maintaining accounts and passwords in particular. It can make sense to let the large players take on that risk.

A single payer system significantly throttles what physicians can charge. They are paid per visit, so you do get this kind of behavior. If you look at the average earnings, Canadian physicians make ~320K gross salary [1], but they need to p

DDC is an alternative to the dart2js compiler. It supports "strong mode" which provides better compile time checking, and produces more idiomatic Javascript. Dart has a large team behind it, an awesome package management infrastru

I don't develop on Windows, but I thought the community edition of IntelliJ supported Dart. There is also atom + the dart plugins. In terms of web frameworks, consider having a look at Angular Dart, and the spiffy new Angular2 compone

This comes up on HN quite a bit, but I have never seen anything that suggests that Google doesn't also use a generalized AI approach. Having high res maps certainly helps, and if you have that data, then why not use it? It is no dif

A lot of folks have been saying that Tesla will win, because they will gather more data from real conditions. This never made sense to me. You certainly need enough data, but how you interpret and process that data is far more important.

Given that most families probably want to use this to torrent, would this not violate Digital Ocean's terms of service?

I have an Acer R11. I didn't think I would use the touchscreen / tablet mode - but I am finding it is really handy for browsing / reading, netflix, and android games.

From my experience with an Acer R11 chromebook, there are no pre-installed android apps. You have to explicitly install them from the play store. Given that a chromebook has pretty good integration with GSuite apps via the web, I am guessin

Curious - Why is this? Does this assume streaming video, and you can't look ahead in the stream? If you can jump ahead, it would seem to be easy to have multiple threads, starting at key frames to decode the content. You'd have to

I think this market is Google's to lose, providing they can execute. The price point of Google Home is aggressive, and the same functionality is provided (or will be soon) to the Android ecosystem via Google Now / Google Assistant

My impression was the Google uses both approaches, so I don't think they are at any disadvantage here. I also don't think precisely mapping each road is going to be a difficult problem if you enlist a huge network of cars contribu

From watching a tech talk a few years ago by Googler on backup, my understanding is that they just delete the encryption key (I believe everyone's data is encrypted with a per user key). Your data may still live out on some server - bu
