Funnily, this was an issue for myself so I built an open source AI video editor - https://github.com/waylonkenning/aidirector Cardboard looks really well polished, well done!

For a marketing app like this, really the people paying should be the restaurants. They pay a bit of money, they appear a bit more often, and a bit more at the beginning of the list of dishes displayed. Cool idea and makes a lot of sense! A

(Disclaimer - I work in this space, but these words are my own). My understanding is DIDs are a unique identifier. There's a few methods that can be used regarding the construction of the identifier. It could be a unique key (did:key-

I think a tender is really a blind bid. A bunch of offers from different people (the tenders) are received before a deadline, and then the vendor views them all and chooses whatever one they like (which is probably the highest offer). I&#x2

As someone who lived in Canada, lives next to Australia, and lives in New Zealand, I wouldn't suggest any of these places are 'devolving into police states'. Having people do stuff to protect the safety of themselves and othe

Like the tide slowly lapping away at your feet, the symptoms of burnout aren’t noticeable until you’re already waist deep, and then you can keep swimming, until suddenly your brain says, no thanks. I think that’s the worst part, the fact th

That's where I think things like Tesla's Powerwall becomes so handy. Imagine 95 kWh just sitting there on your wall. Or in your Model-S. When there's an adverse power event, use your battery. Or, sell it back to the grid if t

I live in Ontario at the moment, which is a very regulated power market. I can only buy from one retailer. They in turn get charged a singular price from the generator. The government can mandate what that price is, which is lower at the mo

One problem is when an event like this happened in New Zealand, other retailers didn't accept new customers at this time. I mean, would you accept new customers paying 20 cents a kWh when the market rate is 500 cents a kWh?

I've seen a lot of news reports talking about people receiving $16,000 bills. Yes, that's because they're with a power company that charges the market rate for electricity. When there's a scarcity of electricity, the mar

Yeah how dare this guy give away money to things he thinks is good, and not to these other things that I think are good. This is immediately the reason why these donations are anonymous! Guy gives away nearly all his money, and people are s

One man's trash is another man's treasure. Otherwise we'd all be reading a website called Hacker Facts, not Hacker News. These anecdotes provide societal context to the story. Why would Microsoft get the public to harden thei

What is insurance for? To cover risk of something bad happening. The bigger the pool paying for it, the less impact to any one person to cover all the risk. Now imagine that was scaled up to a whole country. That's New Zealand. Check o

We all carry around a radio that broadcasts our location. I guess we'll end up switching off Bluetooth except to known good devices, or when we intentionally want to discover what's around us.

Yeah, like with iOS, where there's all sorts of special treatment for Apple apps versus third party apps.

This could be a business opportunity for another tractor manufacturer. You're not forced to buy a John Deere. Boutique tractors, hand repairable, simple parts. If people are hoarding onto 40 year old tractors, then that's a market

I see this as not much different than those bus shelters that are paid for by JCDeaux in exchange for putting ads there. Shelters should be free, and so should water fountains. But free doesn't mean nice. I've seen some poorly mai

I used to work for a Power Company, that had a hydroelectric dam. There were sensors in the dam that needed Windows 98 to read data from. I remember we ended up having a fleet of old Asus Eee PCs specifically for that, that obviously never

As an Architect, I'd rather have six hours of meetings, and one hour of documentation, than eight hours straight of being at a computer. In some jobs - meetings are the work. Meetings are influencing, are negotiating, are discussing, a

The USA spends more than double the OECD average(1) in 2014, but is 28th in the world in OECD life expectancy(2) in 2016. Personal commentary: As someone from New Zealand, who moved to Canada, I still don't understand why people would
