I think there should be an UBER competitor ,that really helps cities build their own clone effectively. If that's possible politically , it would be interesting : the cities would …

"The continuing trend towards fewer people being employed in manufacturing, and greater automation of service jobs, will continue: our current societal model, whereby we work to ea…

Here they describe it in detail: http://ertos.nicta.com.au/research/l4.verified/proof.pml Basically they plugged a lot of the possible holes, but it's not done yet.

Even if they lose, won't the laws change to give them these powers ? I don't see something as potentially risky as drones running around unregulated.

Like the author says ,it's a pretty forced explanation, but just to get more money out of them, the excel table shows how much: http://stratechery.com/2014/amazons-whale-strategy/

We're probably the last population targeted by this phone. It probably targets seniors or heavy prime users.

Since there are actor libraries like akka targeting the JVM and claiming to offer similar benefits, why should someone prefer erlang?

What about http://commoncrawl.org/ ? Why not use it?

Great project. I do wonder , why are 100 people involved ? is it very complicated ? or just the fact they volunteer so they can't give their 100% attention to this?

Teachers would probably have bigger problems. According to clay christensen , the guy behind "the innovator's dillema" , more than 50% of colleges will go bankrupt soon(until 2020/…

YZF,why can't we start from an optimized FPGA - i.e. small memory blocks spread all around with massive bandwidth and low latency, and find a way to give decent enough access to th…

Cover looks cool. Seems like the sort of thing amazon would like to launch next - with a quick launch button to it's flow app - as a way to spread the new firefly button("push to v…

What's your opinion on the new xilinx c-base design tools, and altera's opencl tools for doing compute acceleration ?

Thanks. Interesting paper. Further ,this increases total cost of ownership by 30%, So the performance improvement is just about 70%.

Maybe the reason amazon prices that way, is that it's really expensive ? It seems that the most expensive thing here would be the mayday service. And maybe it's the killer feature …

I agree about the mayday. One big reason why seniors buy the iphone is that there are classes in the apple store which help them learn to use the device and overcome their fear of …

I know. They are supposed to be unique in that regard according to pcmag.

Recently i've been interested in buying a noise cancelling headphones. There's the new bose quietcomfort 20i, which are claimed at least by some reviewers to almost cancel talking …

Another thing that amazon can do with a phone is offer better service: 1. It could deploy it's mayday service , to get you a customer support rep on your mobile , which will help y…

I'm all for proper regulation. But on the other hand, recent technological advancements hold potential for huge improvements in almost every important industry(for ex. healthcare),…
