I started my career in a traditional tech role and quickly grew to hate it. I used my savings to fund a 2-year sabbatical in which I wrote my own game engine using C++ and LUA (this was in the dark days of XNA, no Unity yet). Towards the en

>they don’t use the mic as many suspect I know they claim they don't, but do you have reliable information that confirms this? Like experience on an internal team at Google/Apple?

Then should we really be building systems that complicated?

My gut reaction is that it listens to me, either directly or via some app, but I know Google has refuted this fact. I suppose this is testable too, so I tend to fall on the confirmation bias side of things.

I am confident it did not, that conversation was out of my mind as soon as it ended, which was why I was so surprised to see it dredged up again in my feed.

If you believe that humans are too just products of evolution, then I'd say evolution gets credit for aerospace engineering too.

Yeesh, yes why does this article get so much traction when it's reposted so frequently? We get it. It ain't art unless it divides people.

Great article! Thanks for sharing. Really makes me wonder how guys like Abramovich get started. Did he used to work for the telecoms and knew how things worked? Or is he just one of those insanely motivated hacker types to just poke arou

I learned in Headlines 101 not to use "Infant", "Fall", and "Sharply" together in a headline. But what does college matter once you're in the real world?

I fantasize about Facebook just one day utterly disappearing. No warning, just quietly taken offline without explanation, all data deleted without a whisper. The world would absolutely freak out like never before and I would sit back and c

Amen! Do we really need another billion plastic bottles in the trash stream? Doesn't this contradict the entire spirit of Soylent?
