    As much as I'd love to hear about the details of the drama as the next person, they really don't have to say anything publicly. We are all going to continue using the product. They…

    And isn’t that the problem? Why do I need to translate my question into an optimal set of keywords that will give me what I want while minimizing unwanted results? Google search wa…

    I can't relate to this statement at all. I actually enjoy grocery shopping. I look forward to it every week. It gives me an opportunity to pick out what I want to eat or make durin…

    What's mind blowing is that you can extrapolate where this is going to go. Eventually, you will be able to generate full movie scenes from descriptions. What's interesting to me is…

    Because if you for example you held off on buying a house to pay off loans, and the day after you saved up enough for your down payment, your buddy Jeff, who ignored his loans, rac…

    Ask HN: Is Google trying to frustrate Safari users?

    Every time I google something, or go to re-open a closed google tab (gmail or calendar) on Safari, it auto closes a second or two later. It's incredibly irritating. The second time…
