For the sake of all of us I hope this plane never sees another flight.

It definitely is. Automation is the end game. Devs are expensive and error prone.

Rick Hanson has been a life saver. He is a psychologist with lots of meditation practice. https://www.rickhanson.net/ Also I've really enjoyed Heart Math. That book is where I learned about the physiological explanatio

There definitely are things you can do, but in my experience when you feel this way it is really hard to do them. I've been reading and listening to a few things that are helping me. One thing I've been learning about recently are

These types of applications come and go. That a Chinese company made a popular one shouldn't be shocking or indicate some major breakthrough.

You don't seem to know much about gov financial regulation. 1. Gov didn't embrace bitcoin, they regulated it. The exchanges have to do KYC and AML monitoring and report activity. 2. If you think FB doesn't 100% control it, I

The follow on question is, how did an idiot get so much money?

That was my first thought. I'd be out of there. Though you might want to ensure its not going to catch that floor on fire.

I live in a big city and never see the stars now.

Insurance products are typically designed to make money for the provider. I'm sure they are doing a lot to lower risk.

Not an expert in this area, would'nt that flow against the general laws of insurance?

Good point. I should have left the nationality out and just said that companies good security policies to protect their IP. The threats come from many places.

Normally I'm all for hiring the best and brightest from all over the world. But with the mission that China seems to be on, I think US startups should be wary of hiring Chinese nationals. Of course they are not all spies. But, it only

I was responding to the OPs question about how the overall service of Rekognition can be useful. The question did not have a safety theme to it, although I gave an example that does. Note the service has other features and uses outside of f

Outside of facial recognition, the service will allow online marketplaces and dating sites to stay safer. They all have a problem where spammers and fraudsters post images with content meant to deceive or abuse site policies. With facial re

Most feature rich cloud? I think that title belongs to AWS.

It really made sense for the Chinese companies to go this route since they didn't own the mobile OS. They effectively become an OS like you say.

There are domains of problems that can be solved with the WeChat model. Money, shopping, paying utilities, ordering food, etc, make sense to have in one app. I don't know if I'd want my task planner or email/cal app in there.

That's a great direction to think in. Eventually the car will become a relic of the past, like the horse drawn carriage.

That's a bold statement. What's your reason to make it?

Another way to look at it is that the entire relationship to personal transportation is going to be reinvented over the coming decades. It's going to be very profitable. And who knows where it will take us. I understand why lots of com

That's pretty cool. Hopefully it's gone thru some renovations over the years.

I felt there was a comment like OPs before I opened the discussion. Only thing I'm left wondering is which country OP is from. Seems like a German thing to say.

It's a big company and hard to blame an individual for mistakes. But they totally missed out on being the mobile OS of the future under him. And they ended up getting a late, slow start to cloud computing (minus SAAS).

According to who? And what is included? Microsoft has a history of blurring the lines here. I think the only way you get them being equal is by combining internal use and/or their SAAS offerings. I don't think it's a fair com

That's if it learns from liberal news sources. If it read only conservative news then the robots would pull up their bootstraps, work hard and be damn happy with their paychecks.

Maybe they are purchasing data from other providers about your search history, site history, etc.

Who is the "user" product being sold to? A business, right? And how do they buy the product? Thru a web browser, right? How is that not SAAS?

I think we've come far enough to realize that there are many business models to the concept of software being delivered in a browser as a service. The original model was companies paying a monthly fee for a subscription. Now we have ma
