This reminds me a lot of multi agent systems in computer science. A very exciting concept which is aiming to provide a framework for distributed artificial intelligence: https://ww…

I totally agree. After watching only a second of the video I am convinced that this is not Mark Zuckerberg and that this video has been faked.

Love it. Finally somebody questions the status quo of the economy class. I wonder how this new design competes in terms of price and weight? In the end I doubt that airlines are wi…

I love it how they decided to spend the money fighting the patent trolls. I started reading the article because the title reminded me of Richard in the Silicon Valley TV series. Ha…

This is incredible, thanks for sharing. I had the exact same thoughts the author is describing in the beginning - how hard can it be? It turns out super hard. And one shouldn't for…

So Linus fucked it up?!

A very concrete example: I am trying to find a solution for a certain error / warning in AndroidStudio. I try finding it using DDG, not succeeding, while on Google I'd find the sol…
