Google Assistant gimped? How so? You make it sound like google could just flip a switch and the assistant would magically work better. If it were that simple, why would they intentionally limit the platform?

So what is novel or unique here? It’s a half finished demo/game of derived assets. This is like the stuff I made as a beginner. I thought based on the name that it was some clever hack using only HTML and CSS (with maybe just a little

One major flaw in this reasoning.. Some group of people are guaranteed to become brain surgeons.. the demand is there, the training is there, so it is a near certainty. In fact in the US at least, you can know very closely how many brain su

> Before WeWork, most people weren't aware that coworking spaces were an option Is this true? I am skeptical. If it is true it speaks to the mindboggling ignorance of Silicon Valley decision makers. I was living in a small (<500

That’s like, your opinion, man. I didn’t think it was the most amazing comment either, however, it was intended more to illustrate how things are rather than how they ought to be, I think some interpreted as a strong opinion in favor of th

If an analogy requires more explanation than the original concept what purpose does it serve? I think in this case at best the analogy grossly oversimplifies the issue. If it really were just a “screwdrivers” problem as explained then the 2

This is bullshit. Why would any interview process filter out the factors that lead to screwing around, working on other things, or just burnout? They won’t and they can’t, as these are dynamic factors. Also I’m curious as to why you think a

It uses an LCD, a lowres super twist shit one and it uses a CCFL backlight which eats battery. So replacing it with a different active matrix LCD with LED backlight can improve battery life and quality (double res)

I have dismantled the players. Truly a marvel of electromechanical design. So many hand soldered and assembled parts. It is incredible they made it work mass produced. Too bad it was 20 years too late.

Frankly there’s no saving the people concerned about quantization issues with digital vs vinyl. They clearly don’t understand the basic physics and that mechanical of PVC severely limits dynamic range such that with about 10 bits of signal

Could have kept going... The CED offers one hour of VHS quality per side that rapidly degenerates. I own a sizeable collection of them, and while sorta neat, it’s also sorta terrible. The vinyl offers quality superior to most consumer tape

We've been searching for a while? Interesting definition of “while”. Even relative to human civilization (which itself is a drop in the bucket) we haven’t been searching all that long.

Well there’s a good reason for this: In this day and age it’s pretty much the ideal option. In fact I think android makes a horrible phone OS (not because it has no good features) but I’ve never had an android phone that didn’t become a bat

Lol because it was a fucking complete ide and compiler on a single low density floppy disk. And what you’re saying is of course impossible.. determining if the function is called by static analysis is not possible. If input = 1 then delay

Melanoma biopsies are not typically “small pieces of skin”. Any other kind of biopsy will be unreliable and is more likely to be a waste. How are you basing detection rate on that information? Hint: you can’t. Or if you are implying that de
