Are there any prebuilt frameworks out there for building a single page web app? Specifically looking for something prebuilt that follows the standard nav + 2 pane view that most modern apps are using (e.g Slack, Asana etc).

If there is a frontend framework/template that would be great, bonus if it has logic for connecting to a backend.

What Platforms and SDKs are available for building 2D mobile games for kids?

I read many articles about "Company X taking on Slack", but they fail to point out exactly how the company plans to disrupt Slack.

We use Slack all day, it is deeply embedded in our productivity and workflows, it just works. What exactly would convince us to give up something that works?

Emulating Slack is not enough, how do you think Slack can truly be disrupted?

AI is a hot topic, and just about every major tech company has departments developing various forms of AI and working on AI related challenges. Who is most likely develop a true AI system?

The definition of a true AI system is obviously up for debate, but for the sake of this conversation let's assume we are talking about "Artificial General Intelligence".

Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Sometimes referred to as Strong AI, or Human-Level AI, Artificial General Intelligence refers to a computer that is as smart as a human across the board—a machine that can perform any intellectual task that a human being can. Creating AGI is a much harder task than creating ANI, and we’re yet to do it. Professor Linda Gottfredson describes intelligence as “a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly, and learn from experience.” AGI would be able to do all of those things as easily as you can.

I'll put the top candidates in the comments for you to vote on, and leave replies under each candidate with your reasoning. If you have another candidate, please add it as a main comment.

Seems like such a simple thing to implement, comments already support hyperlinks but descriptions don't? Find myself copying and pasting unnecessarily to look at fellow hacker creations.
