Nice going, nothing like shutting voices whilst being an education startup geared at teaching kids to code
They need to get Nvidia GPUs, AMD/ARM CPUs & a 1080p camera FFS
Their under body sonar & image processing should have picked it up before the attempted braking...hope they put out full postmortem.

That's the whole point inevitably, if it was good we won't stay on a page/multiple result pages for long. Also the rationale behind removing direct image links, so as to keep you on a JS executing page.

Amazing to see privacy not mentioned at all.

I make it a point to Dropbox critical files(non-media) & do monthly backups of my phone & Mac to 2 physical drives. I'd love for something which does this daily of specific folders on my phone & Mac & makes sure there are no duplicates etc. And then on a monthly basis archive them to 2 or more different cloud storage vendors.

Is the pipeline, OCR->Translate->MCGAN/DeepFont?
Any rationale for not using GMO ingredients?
Folks, it is high time & rather long enough time that we actually bought domains & setup our own email addresses since now everything is linked with one & random termination of a free-email account & linked data loss is simply unacceptable. But that's what you get when you go with a free service provider.
For those curious, checkout FOSS Pix2Code

This is another timely reminder for everybody to get a simple domain(e.g. Namecheap, now with free whois-privacy as well) & maybe use Zoho mail to manage it for free(IIRC upto 2 in the free-tier). Then forward it to your gmail or whatever. That way you never lose the email address even if something untowardly happens to the forwarded email. I've learnt this the hard way.

Spendee + Keep & always backing them up half-yearly. I would love to create something with markdown & https://github.com/remotestorage/remotestorage.js for storing user data.

It's just another outlet like newspapers or books. It's not like everyone on the coach bursts into laughter/jokes/small-talk or chops veggies on the way home.

Although it would suck if they did the same thing at home.

Same goes for me, HN, Quora, Reddit.

It not about being cool, its about having other bigger priorities in life than being a stoned douche.

Re:US government halts study on health effects of coal mining on Saturday September 02, 2017 @07:33AM (#15155439)
You don't need anymore research to know it is obviously dangerous. What we do need is leadership that doesn't bow down to cronies & supports stupid beliefs.

Re:‘Anonymous’ Chat App Hijacks Contact Data on Thursday August 31, 2017 @09:11AM (#15139988)
Kind of a r/ShowerThoughts, we should maybe make an app & voluntarily fill our Contacts app with specific human like crap values & then sync all major apps with it thus peppering their gold-pots with waste contacts & by the time they catch up, the damage is already done. Rinse & repeat with slightly different values.
Re:Amazon EC2 Elastic GPUs for Windows on Thursday August 31, 2017 @09:01AM (#15139935)
Can someone confirm support for OpenGL 4.0 on these?
GTFO out of HN you paid scums.
I puked at the countless clothing references. Just another paid for article which didn't even showcase the tiniest detail of Flock or whatever the hell it is.
Finally some good news after the countless train pile-ups.

For the love of god just get into any product shop, take eLitmus or AMCAT & leave BigIT. There's every less to learn, high restrictions on taking up choice assignments & so many more reasons. You can read up so many answers from Quora.
