In this example the “exception” that proves the rule though was not a smarty-pants special circumstance. Using AI for shopping is just one of its many normal usages and if anything proves it is used by normal people doing normal things. It’s not like the rare example that happens once in a hundred years.
This is amazing! I've been regularly using sipdroid on my phone, but hadn't been able to find any working solution for my desktop.
I couldn't make it work on my normal Chrome even after setting the MediaStream stream flag, but it worked on the Canary build.
However, it still doesn't work, my mouse pointer keeps being a spinning wheel, and the login button seems disabled. However, it's a great idea!
I've always been using the Candy theme, and I like much better the way it looks with the new design. It's quite girly though, which unfortunately might exclude most of HN readers. But I agree that anything other than the compact display density option makes the experience much worse.
Isn't the process a bit different when it comes to hiring geeks? Being a good software developer for example is a quite measurable and comparable skill. I think the extracurriculars that indicate social skills such as organising charity events etc, would be more relevant if you're a manager or a consultant; but if you are a developer or a mathematician, would people mind a bookworm?
