That makes sense. I’ve heard you can fence in bison only if they don’t care to leave.

Might as well use a typewriter. https://youtu.be/o4nwe7cW_og

Any takers? Any?

God I don’t know how anyone likes the haptic feedback. Turn that shit off.

Swiping is pretty cool though.

That’s pretty obvious what camp he’s in. Not just “fiscal conservative”, it’s burn down the government. You don’t need to extend past that to his father. Point is he’s openly taken his stand.

I believe he tweeted something about the government stealing your money. He’s taken his stand.

Again, seriously?

Today’s discontinuation announcement was brought about by the acquisition of Humane by HP, which is buying the company’s intellectual property for $116 million

The article says they bought the IP. For someone so snarky you sure have it wrong. Now with a merger of fucking course you get employees with it, that’s how it works. But Mr snark, the article says they bought it for the IP.

But let’s talk business. Now what’s a cheaper way if you want the employees? You offer them a job. Costs nothing. Most would be happy to take it. How many staff were even left, after the obvious product failure, layoffs, and the best people seeing the writing on the wall and leaving. You’re gonna pay what at least a cool half million per employee? Talk about a finders fee, instead of just offering them a job.

Can’t wait to see how you try to snark your way out of that. I probably won’t respond, not worth it when you act like that.

Sigh. I know it’s not the product, I know HP bought the IP. i can’t see how there is any significant IP from this company in development of this product.

I have a hard time seeing much patentable. They can’t just patent ‘wearable pin’, it has to be much more specific.

10,000 buyers. Yeah, no.

Even it was much higher, yeah no.

Seriously?

Ok:

What the hell does hp see in IP in this?

On campus, nobody really knows what’s up with that guy, other than that he’s not like any of the other students. “He’s sort of like an oddity on campus,” says Kaya Walker, the president of the NYU Republicans. “He goes to class, he goes home.”

That seems like a pretty kind assessment for what must be a super weird experience for everyone else on campus. A constant Secret Service presence seems like it must disrupt the other students’ lives, as well as the professors at the school. In fact, Walker quoted one of her own professors as saying “he doesn’t really belong here.”

I had never heard of it. From wiki

The Ai Pin is a wearable device, meant to be attached to the user’s shirt at chest level. It is a voice assistant and cellular phone, equipped with a camera, and a limited monochrome “screen” that’s projected onto the user’s hand on demand. The user mostly interacts with the device through a small touchpad, and also hand gestures when the projection screen is active.[15]

The Ai Pin has received generally negative reviews, praising its product design but criticizing the limited battery life and how easily the device overheats in just a few minutes.[23][24] The New York Times reported that due to overheating problems, Humane executives would use ice packs to chill the pin before previewing it to investors or partners.[14]

The Verge wrote, “After many days of testing, the one and only thing I can truly rely on the Ai Pin to do is tell me the time.”[23] The review from Inverse stated that it “is slow to answer even basic questions.”[24] Fast Company noted that “Almost everything about the pin was a UX disaster for reviewers.”[25]

I’m betting on IBM!

Yeah I don’t think they keyworded “updating”. That’s ddg.

People have to buy these ads. Ad buyers don’t want to show ads to people that aren’t interested, it’s low success all around. They want to show ads to people that are actually interested, and this isn’t it. This is supposed to be the bread and butter for DDG, and the underlying search abilities can’t even do that right. It’s just a scatter of semi related terms. This isn’t a case of showing something just because, this is a case of bad ad/search results.

I use DDG all the time, every day, and it gives exactly what I said, a scatter result of semi related terms. I end up using google well over half the time.

It gives bad results. I mean just look at OP’s post. It picked up on “dating” and “apps” and gave ads and probably results on that instead “updating” and “apps”. Even when he also included the context of “gentoo”. It’s just bad at keywords. It just gives a scatter of semi related terms.

I wish ddg didn’t suck, but ddg sucks.

One you can blame the users. This one falls squarely on Xhitter corporate.

It’s not a panacea, but take goddamn vitamins. Multi, magnesium, zinc, fish oil.
