Dear Website, I wish you would put the "Read a message" button above the content so it doesn't jump around vertically each time I click it.

Maybe it changed more recently, but in the first couple years after acquisition they (WM and Jet) had very different approaches to things like search and there was a lot of interna…

Reminds me of Ghost Mouse from 20 years ago. I remember using it to automate Connect Four and win a few bucks from iWon.com.

It's definitely a thing and prevent some SMS use cases due to this security hole. This new FCC doc only references tracing the original sender. "The FCC has also called on the indu…

Will this also prevent spoofed text messages?

I'm a longtime subscriber to Launch Ticker (their tech/startup newsletter). It lets me very quickly be kept abreast of fundraising and M&A activity relevant to my startup. Saves me…

300k PAID subs is kind of a lot.

I would not have expected Larry Page to have such a severe "I mean" verbal crutch.

Two 1/4 lb. frozen patties are around $6. I've never been a fan of veggie burgers, but these really do taste excellent and the nutrition profile is great.

But reading the above account, it sounds like Snopes has devolved into something of an outsourced content farm, and various parties are now squabbling over control of the cash cow.…

"not already a millionaire" When your company is where Snapchat was at the time there's a good chance you've already taken millions off the table as part of a round. Even if not, w…

These are pretty well-worn arguments against chatbots. There's an overuse of bots for tasks that do not benefit from a conversational interface (checking the weather, surveys, prom…

Came here to say just that. I've seen entire living room sets put out in the alley and collected by Streets & Sanitation as if entirely routine. We did get a $10/month garbage fee …

Sure, but what were the improvements to on-site search? More relevant results? Tweaking the display? I know from experience that improving search result relevance in e-commerce has…

This is interesting but I definitely question some of the results, for instance reporting a negative impact for changing search results. Many businesses have been built on improvin…

I shared a cowork space with some of the founders when they were struggling with a previous soon-to-fail startup. It's inspiring to see how things worked out the second time around…

Yes, I'd say the most obvious tell was the strict quantization. If they can transfer some of the timing information it might be more convincing.

Huh, I had assumed this was dead for quite some time based on the lack of updates. Here's hoping someone will take this as an opportunity to revive the project.

It is being represented as the answer to my question - visually on google.com and explicitly from Google Home. This is different than a forum, Reddit, etc. hosting a variety of con…

Yes, those are default search results and the same content that drives Google Home's voice responses when you ask it a question. Originally Google stuck to Wikipedia/Knowledge Grap…

I've also wondered why Google isn't held responsible for publishing libelous claims and hoaxes as facts. Examples: Is Hillary Clinton a pedophile? https://www.google.com/search?q=i…

Yes, I recall seeing a ticket that referenced Gitlab using Azure because it was heavily subsidized. My company uses Azure for much the same reason, and my experience has been large…

Azure offers $500k for YC startups and $360k for "lesser" accelerators. It's by far the most generous offer out there.

Does Microsoft use this for anything in production?
