Google Assistant gimped? How so? You make it sound like google could just flip a switch and the assistant would magically work better. If it were that simple, why would they intent…

Thank you.

So what is novel or unique here? It’s a half finished demo/game of derived assets. This is like the stuff I made as a beginner. I thought based on the name that it was some clever …

One major flaw in this reasoning.. Some group of people are guaranteed to become brain surgeons.. the demand is there, the training is there, so it is a near certainty. In fact in …

> Before WeWork, most people weren't aware that coworking spaces were an option Is this true? I am skeptical. If it is true it speaks to the mindboggling ignorance of Silicon Valle…

That’s like, your opinion, man. I didn’t think it was the most amazing comment either, however, it was intended more to illustrate how things are rather than how they ought to be, …

If an analogy requires more explanation than the original concept what purpose does it serve? I think in this case at best the analogy grossly oversimplifies the issue. If it reall…

This is bullshit. Why would any interview process filter out the factors that lead to screwing around, working on other things, or just burnout? They won’t and they can’t, as these…

It uses an LCD, a lowres super twist shit one and it uses a CCFL backlight which eats battery. So replacing it with a different active matrix LCD with LED backlight can improve bat…

> python 2 to 3 (at least by 3.3 or so) was one of the easiest transitions I've ever done. Good for you. Some of us had code bases of considerable size and complexity though. The f…

I have dismantled the players. Truly a marvel of electromechanical design. So many hand soldered and assembled parts. It is incredible they made it work mass produced. Too bad it w…

Frankly there’s no saving the people concerned about quantization issues with digital vs vinyl. They clearly don’t understand the basic physics and that mechanical of PVC severely …

Could have kept going... The CED offers one hour of VHS quality per side that rapidly degenerates. I own a sizeable collection of them, and while sorta neat, it’s also sorta terrib…

We've been searching for a while? Interesting definition of “while”. Even relative to human civilization (which itself is a drop in the bucket) we haven’t been searching all that l…

> Just like there are no errors in binary, there are no errors in tree notation. Tools can operate on binary without understanding the semantics. The scope of tools is pretty limit…

Well there’s a good reason for this: In this day and age it’s pretty much the ideal option. In fact I think android makes a horrible phone OS (not because it has no good features) …

presumably sincere.. If it were a sincere ethical position, once again, they would just implement it... no need to make a big deal about it

Lol because it was a fucking complete ide and compiler on a single low density floppy disk. And what you’re saying is of course impossible.. determining if the function is called b…

> vaccine is still the most probable cause Most probable cause? That’s a bit of hyperbole without extraordinary evidence.

Melanoma biopsies are not typically “small pieces of skin”. Any other kind of biopsy will be unreliable and is more likely to be a waste. How are you basing detection rate on that …
