Literally both things can be true. Also I hope you're right and he's wrong. Though I can imagine a pretty cool hacker future where people just hack tags in to place. I'm also afraid of them being equipped with RFID.

At some point an inflated sense of experience is necessary to succeed in starting your own company. You have to literally believe you are capable of having a real impact. Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, etc. All were told at one point &q

As a problem solver, Facebook looks very attractive to me right now. Imagine the shit they're going through right now. Not just damage mitigation but they probably need to revamp their business strategy which will turn in to serious en

I disagree. I was unemployed for a few months and I could not get myself to do the things I needed to in order to get the jobs I was interested in. There was so much anxiety associated with this that it triggered avoidance anxiety. What sav

Neural networks will make humans obsolete. How could they not? They're just connections of mathematical objects...kind of like the way we describe reality. If we can accurately describe reality, then we can accurately instruct a comput

Right? Man, I was wincing reading through that. This sounded like he intended to slam a handful of people. "That'll show them," is what I imagined he said to himself as he finished writing that post.

Microsoft adapted this versioning http://semver.org/ standard. So, 1.0.0-previewX < 1.0.0. Semantically this should be read as "1.0.0-previewX is preview X of version 1.0.0"
