This should have interesting fallout with EMC and Cisco's relationship. Cisco has invested heavily in creating a Nicira competitor internally ( http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/04/19/cisco-announces-its... ). Also, Nicira was contributin

The post-IPO lockup period ended today. Insiders (private equity, founders) typically have to wait 6 months after an IPO before they can sell their shares. In GRPN's case, you can see on http://finance.yahoo.com/q/mh?s=GRPN that 45% of t

Even sadder, Triana costed only 1/3 of what is spent on the war in Afganistan each day. I would prefer to see people in NASA enjoying wide arrays of 15K drives, competitive salaries, and business class seats...

It's perpetually annoying that people make this an East Coast/West Coast thing (as if "East Coast" can even be generalized about... I'm sure Atlanta has a much in common with NYC as Mountain View has with Eugene). It's very small sample se

You should probably look into Apollo 11 and Saturn V and learn more about the rockets that put man on the moon. I love Space-X and I'm genuinely inspired by them and Elon Musk, but they are not very close to reproducing what NASA did 40 ye

Admirable cause, but the author doesn't do themselves any favors by dramatically overstating the role of publication in knowledge sharing (informal channels & conferences exist, publication serves more of a recognition purpose), and wit

There's no technical workaround for having good references from trusted source for something as important as movers, a dentist, a skilled tradesperson, a doctor, et al. (edit: I don't care, it's true. Even Angie's List isn't great)

Walmart's P/S is low because their operating margins are so low, and Walmart's P/E is actually almost the same as Google's, because valuation is a function of cash flow, not sales. What kind of addressable market do you see for Evernote, an

50x is ridiculous, just not on a relative basis in among the peer group. Many retail companies trade at less than 1 (Walmart trades at .5, the S&P trades at around 1.5) Even larger tech companies like GOOG, MSFT, and ORCL trade at 3-4.

Regression testing is when you check that new code doesn't break existing functionality. It's preventative, not reactive.

But consider that tier 1 capital ratios are on the order of 10%, so they're leveraging the deposits many times over. Further, they're probably not reinvesting the deposits in treasuries, but rather making commercial or personal loans at mo

But most ethanol is net energy negative. Brazilian sugarcane is an exception, but it loses some of its advantage when it's shipped to the US in tankers. Even then, sugarcane requires non-renewable inputs (just not as much as corn). Cellu

You are precisely wrong. Targeting people that already buy into energy efficiency has low payoff. Say you have your enlightened urban dweller, getting 50mpg. With the fancy new hybrids, let's say they double that and get 100mpg. Given 10
