I think the founders undermined this product with their launch strategy, first showcasing it on a TED talk briefly without fully exposing the hardware, then about a month later in a fashion show? Then now they make this half baked video tha

Having the word "Ai" in the name of a product makes it feel cheap and not premium. People don't care about Ai but more so what it can do for them.

I wonder why Meta didn't fork Second Life to use for their 3D world rather than re-invent the wheel and in the end build a bad product.

"Unfortunately that ecosystem doesn't exist yet so we're stuck with the duopoly of evil-doers..." That is no longer the case. There are projects starting to come out which are open source and building on top of AOSP like

While manual transmission is fun and has a different feel for driving. From my experience, once your car starts outputting anything above 400hp, having a manual takes away from that power because no matter how good of a driver you might be,

Surely, I can't be the only one who clicked on this thinking it's related to the Electron framework rather than scientific electrons

I'm surprised they're not porting the windows full fledged version over to Mac. I've used the VS for Mac edition and it's lacking too many useful features that come with vscode out of the box (ex. emmet)

This!!!! It's easy to get the wrong idea about these companies and that it must be a dream to be working there but stories like these prove exactly the opposite and realistic view.

Given there is a bunch of software that is still incompatible to run on the new chip, what are all the benchmarks actually testing? I'm not disregarding the fact that the chip is fast but I'm just curious

You think 20 seconds is a big deal? I urge you to try the NYC subway system once. That's all I'm going to say

From my experience, I see that usually hackathon events have more male attendees than female. I am sure there might be hackathons where that's not the case but I don't think it would be very inviting for any female to go to an eve

If you are going to learn programming on your own and not planning to go through a computer science curriculum, then I would say you don't need much more than basic algebra and arithmetic. The majority of fields in demand (Web dev, mob

Apartment listings making that much money? Wow!

I totally see your point and understand that it's good to break away from work every now and then to work on a fun project idea. The problem I have with these hackathons though is that I feel companies get to promote the culture of wor

To be clear, I am not against the idea of collaborating with like-minded individuals to come up with a creative application idea however the side effects that come from these hackathon events is what I have a problem with.
