TY

Attention Googlers on HN. Please help this great channel re-gain control of their YouTube account. This probably the most useful educational account about crypto on the Internet and it's a shame what's happening to them.

Inoreader. Has all the features of Feedly (that I care about) at half the price. I switched recently after using Feedly for years and so far I'm very happy with it. Migration process was very painless.

On mobile, it has a killer feature. For the feeds that only give a short snippet and then require you to go to the site (i.e. ArsTechnica), you can just pull the page down and release. Inoreader will load the full article without requiring you to go to the website.

I also use it to subscribe to all the newsletters to keep my mailbox clean and Twitter users that I want to monitor but not follow on Twitter itself.

Even though they crashed, this is still a monumental achievement. For once I agree with Bibi, that if you fail you should try again.

Good to see you back online, Nils. Your books are amazing - thank you.

Thousand times yes.

Apparently, Paul Stamets of "Star Trek Discovery" is named after Paul Stamets in this article:

I'm sorry but I disagree. What I see here is a massive multibillion dollar company undergoing a tremendous technological transformation in front of our eyes.

Machine Learning is being embedded into most of their products to make those products increasingly capable and useful that is not easy for other companies to replicate.

Those products are becoming personal and learn about you to the point that they will know more about you than you... I realize that this can lead to a scary future, but lots of useful things do.

These capabilities might look underwhelming but they are simply mind blowing given type of problems being solved.

More importantly, this technology and infrastructure are being put in the hands of developers outside of Google, so more fascinating things are yet to come.

The call with Chinese restaurant was simply jaw dropping. Sundar says that it was real and I have no grounds not to believe him.

This is as close of a demo of technology passing the Turing test as I have ever seen. Sure, it's not a fully free form conversation on any subject, but incredibly impressive nevertheless.

Oh yes, and the voice synthesis is just simply amazing. I don't think I'd be able to tell that I was talking to a bot either.

So far, it's been the most impressive Google I/O keynote that I've ever seen and it's not over yet.

To the conversation of making it easier for enterprises to support open source projects.

Would it make sense to create a legal entity whose only goal would be to "sell" enterprise subscriptions to open source products and then channel all the funds to those projects, after taking a reasonable cut for administrative expenses - such as invoicing, collection, production of physical media when required and etc?

That would make support of open source projects fit much easier into standard enterprise procurement process.

Each project would define different levels of subscription with different price tags. Token licenses would be generated and physical media created and mailed out.

Pretty sure something like this was already discussed on HN?

Came here to puff about "yet another bundler".

Then read all of the docs in 15 minutes and realized that I might like this.

Then I used it and I know that I'll keep using it, unless there are any showstoppers.

Great job, Devon!

Interesting news! Will be looking forward to the specs and actual demo experiences.

Also, I wish they were lighter on the word "magic"...

Just read through your link #2 and was very impressed. Firestore addresses every single concern I had with RDTB and more and I'm looking forward to using it in my side projects.

Thank you!

It's available on CraveTV in Canada. Only $9 a month, can cancel your subscription any time, first month is free. Tech sucks, content is pretty good.

I think WHO is buying is just as important as WHAT is being bought.

Who knows what would happen to WhatsApp if Google bought it? Could it become one of Google's current chat apps that no one uses?

The article mentions that they hired programmers from Ukraine and helped them to relocate to Canada with their families. I happen to know one of those programmers and he's been with the firm for 10 years and seems to be quite happy.

Mississauga is no better or worse than any other suburb. The fact that you have to drive to get food, forces you to plan better and actually bring food into the office instead of eating take out all the time. In a way, that's a plus :-)

This perception probably depends on what life stage you are in: if you are single or married no children then "no after work fun" and "suburb hell" are minuses. Once you are "married with children" ;-) then those things stop being important as you have other priorities to rush to.

Very disappointed by this decision. I have been a customer of OReilly for about 20 years, buying ebooks since 2009. I really liked DRM free nature of their ebooks, so that I could read them on all of my devices.

Maybe decision makes sense from economic perspective. But they really have to consider who their audience is. These are the people who still complain that Google Reader was killed and loss of good will and PR consequences of this decision will come to haunt them for years, regardless of the current financial reality.

Anectodal evidence from my trip to Chicago last week. The same trip cost me twice as much when I took a taxi vs Lyft. So guess what I'm going to take the next time...

This is from 2010.

This is an amazing development. Google is in a unique position to run this on truly massive scale.

Reading this, I couldn't shake the feeling that I heard all of this somewhere before in a work of fiction.

Then I remembered - here's the relevant clip from "Ex Machina":

Brendan, this is exciting news for lots of people! I'm developing a product on Firebase now and trusted code execution has always been my biggest concern.

Sure, it could be mitigated, but all the workarounds added unnecessary overhead and breaking points.

Want to thank you and your team for working on this. Firebase is a great product and this will make it just fantastic.

One thing if I have your ear - I'd love to give Firebase team some money by purchasing paid support - ideally as a part of the new Google Cloud support options announced yesterday. I hope this is on your roadmap as well :-)

Great step forward from Google - gives me much more confidence to develop on their platform.

Now waiting for official Firebase support offerings

I'd just call it Exercise Book (Сборник упражнений с ответами) - nothing fancy and to the point.

I have a dead tree version of the book, purchased from Canadian Amazon. Not sure which printing (if you had multiple), it's at home now and I'm in the office.

Thank you for the offer - will email you in a moment.

Love your book, it was a very concise, to the point refresher of mathematics for me.

Also, the progression of topics felt very comfortable to me, almost like my school experience back in the Soviet days (and I mean it in a very positive way).

What I'd love and would gladly pay for is an additional exercise book with answers to accompany your book, just like in the spirit of the old textbooks.

Never heard of Termux, thank you very much for mentioning it!

AFAIK Caltech lectures that served as the basis for "The Feynman Lectures" don't exist in video, audio only.

The Cornell ones recorded by BBC and mentioned here exist in video form.

There are lectures on Youtube, but I think Microsoft did a great job on cleaning them up and captioning them. You can find them here (link in the article does not point to the current location anymore):

That's unfortunately correct, that would be the first thing that would pop into the mind of almost all Russian speakers...

Anyone on HN knows anything about Geometric Intelligence beyond what was written in the article?

Nothing really new in this article, we have read bunch of these before...

To the point of using thin clients:

One interesting angle to this is arguably better security for the corporation as there are no USB ports on employee machines.

This prevents employees from making copies of corporate data or bringing malware on their USB flash drives.

I know that there's software that disables USB ports, but there are always exceptions or workarounds that are enough to cause an incident.

This also eliminates potential of data loss in case of hard drive failure/damage or theft of employee's computer as everything is on corporate servers where enforcement of backups is much easier than on actual computers.
