No pun intended against Aurelia, but this reminds me... https://twitter.com/iamdevloper/status/540481335362875392 "I think I've had milk last longer than some JavaScript frameworks."

Kudos to Davis, I'm a big fan. Writing TempleOS: amazing. Writing TempleOS with the dog or bird background noise you hear around 5:00 in the video: more than amazing!

Nice app! Have you considered adding a voice command mode, so that when I'm out of reach of my phone or too lazy to read/touch the phone screen, I can still remote-control websites?

How do you prove than the component-wise normal distributions, once normalized, become uniform on the circle? UPDATE - OK, got it in some comments that were posted while I was posting this one!

Wow, super impressive. And meanwhile, Silicon Valley is working on the gazillionth social photo sharing app.

My "is it new?" test works this way: how would I explain what's new to my father (who is 74 years old and knows not much about tech). A7, M7, iOS 7, better camera and flash: not much to say. Touch ID OK that's new, but t

When I see Apple putting forward as a key feature the number of bits in their processor in a general public announcement... I'm really feeling the "new" product is not really new. In the past Apple was always laughing at the

I'm surprised that voice is not mentioned once in this article. As another commenter said, these guidelines could be valid for any device and platform, they have nothing specific to Google Glass. In my opinion, any experience involvi

I'm surprised no answer mentions the Kolmogorov complexity [1]. There's a fascinating link between how a given series seems "probable" to humans and its Kolmogorov complexity. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/

Yes, but on the other hand if all these private companies used their capital to contribute building a decent public transportation system instead of building parallel ones, that would be far better for everybody. In any other developed coun

Good advice, but "This past month I set a goal to write 20,000 words" Setting writing goals in terms of number of words looks terribly wrong to me.

Yes, I think that after a huge success (such as Harry Potter), artists are under tremendous pressure to release something greater or at least equivalent. The same is true for startups btw. Anyway, if you want to believe what marketers want

I don't buy this 'outed' story one second. This is either marketing or fear of public reception of her non-Potter book (imagine the pressure she must have). Either way, this is crap.

True, but in the case of Glass the speaker is always the same (it's the owner) so you can learn and adapt the acoustic model over time. I'm wondering btw if Google doesn't do that already for Android's built-in speech re

I think the biggest problem is this swiping thing. Imagine Apple had released the first iPhone with a mouse plugged to it. It's a pure betrayal of the original Glass vision, where all user => machine communication goes through voice

It's true that the excessive need for external validation kills many startups. A pattern I've seen over and over (and I fell myself in that trap once) is: A startup wants to disrupt an industry by making a self-served, SMB targete
