>> For example, “translate” between neural activity in the brain to videos on a screen,

That sounds almost to good to be true. Excited to see what gets developed with these techniques!

I wrote a tampermonkey script that automates this:

This probably will rub Google the wrong way.. I wonder how many millions they will lose out on because of this.

Maybe they should introduce some special reduced fee teirs for the ultra high volume customers, as a precaution against this becoming a trend.

On the other hand fortnight is probably the only app where it's users want it so bad they will be willing to do just about any procedure to get it on the phones. Everything else has competitors on the Play store.

So what's a dollar to an average Indian whatsapp user. An hour's wage, a day, week?

Ya.. that was really hard to read and I'm not even an art fan.

True, something I definitely need to consider.

Congratulations on the open source license because..

> Compared to popular >> open-source << options like Python, Javascript, and Java:

Even in your comment you can see there is still that stigma that separates .Net from the rest of the languages. .Net core has many non MS contributors. It truly is a project in the spirit of open-source.

Really surprised on your comment when it has so many amazing things going for it.

- state of the art language features from .net (linq, async&await,powerful generics)

- Multiplatform runtime and SDK, even development is great via Vscode + omnisharp.

- MIT license

- llvm backend via Ryu jit compiling straight to machine code (Wow!)

- unparalleled language server capabilities via Roslyn's API, even available on Linux / Osx via omnisharp.

And more stuff I'm not thinking of. Almost everywhere you turn .net is the toughest beast in the arena if you exclude ecosystem. I don't see how you could possibly think it doesn't have a fighting chance.

Maybe not startups per say but.

- jet.com uses F#

- stackoverflow is C#

I don't get why a startup couldn't just use .net for the application layer hooked up to a MySQL or Postgress backend. The drivers for both Db exist so someone must be doing it.

I want to get out more, it's just not the right time for me. In the future.

For my next job I plan on going full Uber + public transit for transport. Uber to the bus terminal and take a nice relaxed bus ride to downtown Seattle dropping me off directly next to my job. I did the math and at 8$ per ride my monthly expense should be 8$ * twice per day * 20 days per months = $320, well below the cost of ownership for a vehicle.

Maybe they thought about it and came to the conclusion it's worth it. In my case it's surplus, not a cost.

I hope you were just doing this as a side project. Doesn't seem like it was too lucrative at ~$800 a month. And why delete the plugins off Codecanyon?

My guess is by designing small electric cars specifically for this service. You could do away with most of the amenities conventional cars have and purely focus on making them cheap and easy to manufacture.

Ya, getting self driving cars for the automative industry is the equivalent of rockets landing themselves for the space industry. How do you compete with that?

For the carefulness comment.

>While making a left turn in a large multi-lane intersection, the car signals and creeps forward before accelerating into the turn. Waymo drives conservatively, to be sure, but the robots aren’t cowards. Gone are the days where two self-driving cars facing each other in a parking lot might freeze up from an overabundance of politeness:

This is a super interesting article. Here are some interesting bits.

- Miles driven per needed human intervention 2017, Waymo: ~5700; GM: ~1300; Nissan: ~250, everyone else sucks at around 100.

- Tesla is not talked about at all, surprising considering Elon is constantly saying it's around the corner.

- Waymo has an Uber / Lyft esque app that the customers testing it's pilot program are using.

- Waymo's showing (not charging) prices similar to Lyft and Uber ($1.70/mile). An analyst thinks without paid drivers they could go as low as 70¢/mile, and only 35¢/mile by 2020.

- Waymo is only testing is places with perfect weather.

- Waymo plans on launching their first location for a ride hailing service by the end of 2018.

The article says those are just demo prices to test customer's reactions, and then goes on to say those prices reflect 1.70$ per mile, comparable to uber and lift, but that an analyst said they could afford to go as low as 70 cents per a mile now, and 35 cents per a mile by 2020. If that's true and materialize, WOW!

Um I'm pretty sure the practical and legal definition of income is simply money received. Why would a stipend not count as income?

The the reason this is disliked is pretty obvious IMO. It's undermining the value of stars as an indicator of a projects health / usefullness. People explore tools and libraries on GitHub to incorporate into the work they do at their jobs. If this were to take off it could potentially make everyones job harder, yikes!

Why not block hacker news? Not as addicting as the others?

Edit: oops didn't see your list wasn't exhaustive.

Reading this makes me feel better I make large monolothic components. Most examples would have you believe doing so is a big no no.

Well without knowing the specifics of your use case, the two most practical react packages for animation I've used have been react-move and CssTransitionGroup.

They both work on the principle of toggling the animation based on a property "show". It's pretty great!

Google not so much big as there are dominant and overvalued.

This has me thinking the cryptography of the future is going to get wildly complex.

Ya you could get an end result where your video player included in the videos infos "officially verified by persons x y & z"

A lot of jobs now have internet only application processes.

I'm a developer on Linux who wants to migrate into design. I want sketch on Linux so bad :-(

I realize though I probably need to Shell out for a Mac though. (Besides for a few brief moments in middle school, I have never used iOS believe it or not)

Well there are a ton of gamers who like building there own machines so I imagine it's higher then you'd think. R/pcmasterrace has 1.5 million subscribers, and that's mostly from English speaking populations.

Wouldnt work for something that toggled on a single click.. e.g checkbox

Looks to me like he laid it out pretty clearly.
