I am being in such a team and I tell you this is great. We are pretty flat, you can pick whatever title you want on your resume but here we are all engineers. My manager insists th…

This is exactly what I'm experiencing with my boss and I love that!

I think you missed the point that we need an open pricing system. Sure you are willing to pay $200 for that sling but others might decide differently if they see the price beforeha…

Totally agree. Although this is totally disgraceful, this is a very smart act from Saudi Arabia government I have to say!

The 500e I had, I think 2014 version, had a serious reliability issue. Its electric system failed me multiple times. One time the car just suddenly stalled in the middle of the San…

Am I the only one gets annoyed when people use "than" while it should be "then"? And hell a lot of such people!

Natural consequences: What if the child doesn't care about consequence, or what if he/she likes the consequence? In the example of being late for school, the child could consider i…

How about apps and adoption from developers? Those are much more important than an OS alone. As someone mentioned, we have bunch of OS aready, Tizen, Window Mobile?

One thing I don't understand why Walmart hasn't invested in: change the web interface!!! Their website is just not attractive at all!!!

Didn't Fossil buy Misfit for like $200M to start its smartwatch department?

Did I read it right: Nexus Player is in the list of OTA update? I thought the device is dead? Anyone has a link of Nougat for Android TV?

I have put quite a bit of similar effort to image retrieval using Elasticsearch before. While it is nice and convenient, what I found was that Elastic Search is too slow for larger…

There're ton more local features proposed since SIFT but SIFT, arguably, still among the best. Deep feature, on the other hand, is more like global feature. May be a combination of…

With the overwhelming of research papers, it is pretty hard for me to filter what's good or not. So I'm hoping the HN community, specially some CBIR experts, can pinpoint to me som…

One thing I find annoying is that interviewers expect you to think out loud "continuously". If I stop talking for 30s or 1 minute, I am in trouble. That is not applicable to everyo…

May be it's not 90% but I have a friend who experienced the same thing, she gave up after 2 weeks once she realized the lie. I honestly think the US government is lazy in this aspe…

I've dreamed for this screen for a long time. I would love to have side-by-side an E-ink screen for coding and reading papers and a normal screen for any normal things that require…

Not sure why it is not mentioned enough in media coverage, but one big reason of the H1B visa shortage is the mass applications from consultancy companies (all I know are Indian ba…

I worked for a company working on audio fingerprinting before (as well as image/video). I have to say it's great that we have a song (audio) recognition system that works pretty we…

The switching button might not be that convenient and comfortable. Why not just a press button and 3 LEDs? You press one, it switches the LEDs?

We all love the game of football (soccer in US) and we all see how FIFA ruin the game. They are reluctant to use video technology and other rules (like allowing teams to make chall…

Still don't know why users had to subscribe for Xbox gold to use free app at the first place. Now it's too late!!!

Do they try not to mention Youtube? Only in the comparison chart!

May be they need money for the Nest deal (just kidding). Very strange to think of the recent Nest acquisition and this sale! Someone opens my eyes please!

I thought of the same idea. May be removing/replacing a whole set of battery is not that simple.
