Do you just add machine learning everywhere to get hype nowadays? There is nothing written about machine learning on the landing page, even if it is there. I don't think it does anything that a normal db look up can't do.
Re:Ask HN: What do you think of the Google Stadia? on Wednesday March 20, 2019 @09:17AM (#19441769)
I think they are only focused on the future where almost everyone has fast internet.

I like the that they don’t have any load time. It doesn’t look like it’s going to support most games any time soon. It’s going to be mostly hype for a year , I feel.

Re:India will overtake the US economy by 2030 on Monday March 18, 2019 @08:32PM (#19426872)
If you look at it this way, there is no real measure to see which is a better place to live.

The only thing one can agree from this article is that some countries are expected to grow at a higher rate than others only due to a larger population. I think this only makes sense if everyone is educated and the unemployment rate is low.

Re:Two-thirds of all Android antivirus apps are frauds on Saturday March 16, 2019 @05:21PM (#19410363)
People used to install these memory cleaners and anti virus apps and I used to tell them, they don’t do anything. And they used to say, if they do then you’re screwed. The logic is just wierd for me. Idk what to argue then.
This is just funny for me. India already is one of the countries where you can see waste everywhere.
It's only 1$.

You cant make something like this in 8.2 mins considering minimum wage is 7.5$ in USA. Why make things for free anyway, people rarely appreciate things they get for free.

But shouldn't they like pay taxes for where the customer is from?

Suppose a guy from US purchases the service, shouldn't tax be paid there. Isn't that how its supposed to work? Taking only in terms of Giants.

Re:Zulip 2.0: Open source team chat on Friday March 01, 2019 @04:33PM (#19285483)
I have been using Zulip for a long time now. One of the complains I get too often is that design is not very appealing compared to slack or discord. Though it's very fast most people just don't care, and hence it's hard to convince a team. Are there any plans for UI changes? I wish you guys did.
Re:Zulip 2.0: Open source team chat on Friday March 01, 2019 @04:16PM (#19285333)
I think people feel more comfortable in chat than a forum. People often feel hesitated to ask simple questions on forums thinking it's stupid. Plus forums take too long to reply.

It's often better to have both, I think.
