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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

Thank you!

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?

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.

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.
