Unless I am repeatedly missing it, it’s not mentioned in the article how much money the researchers spent performing the tests. What was the budget for the AI execution? If the researchers only spent $10,000 to “earn” $400,000, that’s amazi

The usual suggestions I’ve read about are to disable the “always on” display, disable WiFi and/or cellular, turn down the brightness, limit notifications, and so forth. However, I cannot state how much impact these would have.

I have not knowingly received any “bad“ purchases from Amazon. Having heard scary stories like these has put me off ordering things from there for sure. But the convenience is just too great for me to give it up. Maybe I am just fortunate t

Don’t forget the $1 surcharge for the lactose-intolerant! With coffee, non-milk substitute, and tax, a latte can run me nearly $8 :(

Yes, just like with hearing individuals, not everyone can spell well. Often times, just like when reading, one may not notice every single letter in a given word, but with the sequence of letters, autocorrect, and context, the meaning is us

Yes, as mentioned elsewhere, finger-spelling is common when introducing a new person/entity/concept into the conversation. Regarding the person's expressions, it's common in ASL to employ very dramatic facial expressions

I haven’t had an issue with iCloud and use it everyday. I wonder if it’s specific to a certain product or workflow. But I’ve used other services (Facebook, for example) that interpret my last name as a boolean and throw errors.

The article subheading states: Airbnb needed an East Coast home. Why particularly an east coast home vs. just another home? What's the strategic benefit of the east coast in particular?

Looks nice and clean from what I can see. Congratulations on the launch. Taking a look at the Product Hunt landing page and the main home page, I don't see any pricing except for the current lifetime offer. I understand if you don&#x27

I'm loath to mention this, but although I assume the use of "tard" in the name is to signify delay, some might be sensitive to that term.

Interesting concept. I tried it out and got the 'We've sent an email to foo@example.com with a confirmation link.' message. It's been about 5 minutes and I still haven't received the confirmation message. You might

Looks great! I know it should have been more obvious, but I didn't realize the text was editable. I was looking for an 'upload your code' button. Maybe put one of those "Try Me!" badges with an arrow pointing to the

What about the case where you're not migrating away , but do need to support multiple clouds for regulatory, failover, customer requirements, etc. reasons? Is there a way to still leverage the first-class features of, say, AWS and GCP

I would hope a chief technical officer with their salt would realize how powerful this setup is. Unfortunately, the lack of a cute name, branding, and marketing engine behind it may cause some to dismiss it as 'it's too simple,

Additionally, the demographics on slide 7 point to the majority of founders being over 30. This age group often coincides with a greater likelihood of having a partner, mortgage, children, etc. Thus the risk aversion for that group is likel

I'm with you on that. But my understanding of slide 55 is that requiring a credit card up front doesn't pose much of a problem to growth.

Yes. The origin of idea is the easy part. Personally, I procrastinate starting a product/service because I feel that I have to have an amazing idea before I get started. (There's nothing new under the sun.) As this slide reinforce

A love the idea origin breakdown on slide 17. Over half of the product ideas (~57%) came from experiencing a problem/issue firsthand. The percentage tips to ~90% if you also include experiencing a problem/issue secondhand (through

Making a ritual opt-in is fine, I guess. Making it compulsory would make me looking for another (competing) option pretty quickly.

Your 7-Eleven comparison is spot on! I never understood the allure, especially in a city with so many other options. It was a reliable place to get in out of the cold during our trip to London. My kids loved it, though ;)

That was the first thing I wondered about as well. I can see how making the UI for multiple people would be trickier. Just like in real life, multiple people working out creates accountability, having multiple people in a home able to use i
