Ask HN: At what point does it stop being a program and start being AI?

Would you be able to foresee the existence of something like Uber back when you were using your Nokia phone (10+ years ago)? We can't imagine what VR technology will be used for.

Ambiance is not just auditory input but visual cues as well.

Ask HN: Who do you follow on Twitter?

Who (individuals, not organizations) do you follow on Twitter? Why would you recommend them?

Too little too late.

Should have been submitted to r/cringe. Seriously, can a PR puff-piece try to be more hip?

Re:Amazon Dash Button on Tuesday March 31, 2015 @11:28AM (#9296947)

I have to say - this actually looks like a great idea for products like detergents, etc. I can see how this can work on a laundry machine. Apart from that... Where would I put the button for Bounty? Or Gillette?

$100k is going to a charity one way or another. That's a good thing no matter how you cut it.

Re:Lyft Profiles on Thursday March 26, 2015 @12:53PM (#9271083)

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable putting up a profile for a service such as Uber or Lyft. I especially wouldn't feel comfortable for my SO to have a profile - she already feels uncomfortable using these services by herself (though safer than a taxi, sexual assault incidents do happen). I'm not sure if this is a step in the right direction. The drivers in my area aren't people I would want to connect with or share personal info...

Instead of sharing personal info, why can't we know when the driver started driving for Uber or Lyft? Some have just started and have 5.0 ratings even though they may have only completed a handful of rides...
