I've been a beta tester for a few weeks now. And as a Search and Discovery person I have plenty of granular feedback and feature requests for Dan, Brett and team that I still owe :) Overall it has helped me in a couple situations. I wi

I am sure of this. I help lead search for Hulu and Disney+ and own a RokuTV. Roku already allows you the option to voice search inside the app you are already in (this has to be enabled by the Roku app developer I believe). This definitely

GIPHY has agreements with pretty much all the major content studios, including ones historically protective of their content, such as HBO, the NFL and Disney.

Yes. I only posted once, but did get a few replies. I will say that more than one of them was by people who were not hiring managers but rank-and-file employees fishing for referral bonuses. The number of good leads I got was effectively

You mean Vultr is pretty similar to DO :) When I worked at DigitalOcean all we could do was shake our head and laugh at how blatantly hard Vultr tried to copy what we did.

I am guessing that people outside the US do not have as much trouble, as the format is naturally dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yy, so reading left to right is more natural. It took me a brief moment to acclimate to this, b

I'd want the touch bar to sit on top of the function keys, but I agree. I also would be much happier if it was just easier to turn it off or if it at least made each touch action take 200ms or so so that I don't accidentally hit i

And now the community's hard work is licensed under a new and restrictive license which, due to legal constraints, cannot be used in entreprise setups. Sure it can. It is fairly narrow in that it targets reselling it as-

I really wish this was the top comment. I feel like HN is turning a little too much into an echo chamber dunk fest sometimes.

Cars are often not faster in dense cities. In NYC most deliveries are by e-bike.

I've had people find me on LinkedIn and reach out to do due diligence on companies I've worked at, which I thought was pretty smart. I would do the same if I were looking at a small company with potentially astroturfed Glassdoor r

Amazon had a chief lobbyist even when I worked there years ago and they now have the largest in-house lobbyist team in tech: https://www.ft.com/content/56ddca24-3752-11e8-8eee-e06bde01c...

This is a bit of a myth. Yes, there was a mandate for everything to be SOA. However, AWS built almost every service from scratch. For example, S3 and EC2 were NOT used for production in Amazon until well after launch (it was a huge migrat

All due respect for the authors and engineers that worked on this, but this solves a problem that does not exist. In fact, it has produced confusion as my wife and I can't find a title if the artwork has changed or is different on mob

Gold is only a store of value, even less so than Bitcoin. With Bitcoin I can actually buy things, both via e-commerce and locally if I am motivated enough to. If I walked around with a bunch of gold coins I would have a harder time. Cashin

Personally, I disagree with your premise and I do think the killer app for Bitcoin is to be transactional--unlike Ethereum you can't build anything on top of it, it's just "money" or "wealth" which do need to b

How it (generally) works now: intermediaries pay the restaurant in fiat the equivalent price in BTC on the time/day of the transaction. They facilitate the trade without the restaurant needing to worry about price fluctuations or digi
