    Do you have any concerns about doing the research and confirming the market exists for this product and then getting 'Sherlocked'? Did you spend any time evaluating other platforms…

    Just the fact that they didn't have a way to record and verify whether the deployment was done properly boggles my mind. When I worked at a bank we had package management to do dep…

    Not sure if this has the maturity or feature set you're looking for, but a pretty interesting development on top of Sovereign's federated roll-your-own cloud platform: http://sneer…

    Sadly their marketing pitch does not convey an understanding of human interactions. The example you pointed out is reminiscent of a bad Turing test chat bot with a lexicon of topic…

    No doubt it will be used for marketing spam. I can just imagine my digital ghost telling anecdotes about how in my day and age Intel was a respectable company and that most of my c…

    I'd love to see some publications from their R&D to outline how this won't turn into another one of those chat bot apps that you can have write Facebook posts in your style based o…

    I've reached a very similar conclusion and for smaller pages that don't need frequent updates I usually go with static HTML if possible, pre-rendering the static HTML from template…

    The idea of a barebones programming sandbox attracted me to this, but then reading through the rest of the site I felt like it was an attempt at sublime evangelism using Biblical p…

    Yeah, in theory they would check the heights in the atlas versus the effective height of a given load, not just the height on paper. Why the truck was overloaded also begs a look a…

    I'm also surprised that the drivers or their company failed to check a truck atlas when planning the route. I imagine the company has just as much incentive to prevent incidents.

    Let's say that each programmer is responsible for a programming club at a public school. Reasonably the club would meet 3 times a week, and would be 2 hours per session. Homework w…

    I wonder how much really needs done to setup the tracking software. Since they are using Linux, they have access to a huge library of code, and since it has both a stereoscopic ran…

    The authors of the paper have chosen to use N=4 topology, or supersymmetry in 4 dimensions, to simplify modeling how black holes with multiple centers decay. In these special cases…

    In the US keep in mind the Bank Secrecy Act. You may trigger a Currency Transaction Report for cash transactions in excess of $10,000 in one day, a Monetary Instrument Log for chec…
