This could be a great opportunity for another news site, like when they fucked up Google Finance https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?q=Google%20finance,...

Pretty sure you can find 2000 18 year olds with a trust fund or part of a Native American Indian tribe that distributes gaming revenue.

At least the targeting is advertising and not drone strikes.

I’m waiting for an answer to this: will the least invasive platforms end up the least intelligent?

The whole article is one red flag after another. Judge developers individually, judge harshly, and fire quickly. Bad developers require endless management while great developers require minimal oversight.

I would strongly recommend reading what Pagefair has been putting. They have been one of the few sources I've found that is take GDPR literally. It isn't even clear what level Google's compliance will be - https://

A big part of the problem is we have a brand new set of very vaguely written rules with no case law. Given time, I expect we should see case law and software change to be more GDPR friendly. I am very curious to see what happens to EU ad re

One of the differences of being in my 30s, rather than 20s, is discovering things I thought were very relevant and influential are sometimes totally unknown. In the short term, Cannes and the Oscars may be very relevant. Yet, if something w

One could see a scenario where Craigslist has to shut down in its entirety.

TLDR: Civilization should be more roguelike. Or maybe that’s what Dwarf Fortress already is.

Are bridges collapsing common? Looks like those involved had at least two other bridge related incidents in the past - http://www.miaminewtimes.com/news/fiu-bridge-collapse-constr...

Despite being an early(ish) Bitcoin investor and believer I’ve been very cynical about ICOs and altcoins. My view has taken a pretty abrupt change in the past month. The internet can be successfully re-decentralized, and we have the means t

This should be fairly alarming because it makes a whole new attack surface very publicly visible.

The “loss” was more akin to reinvesting margins for growth. The difference between this, and say Berkshire Hathaway, is how much of those investments were in to experiments.

If someone loses all of their savings after clicking an ad served by Google, that isn’t very good for Google’s brand or the user’s ability to buy anything else.

That argument could have equally been made for the other candidate.

The only thing that should surprise anyone is if Moviepass is still in business in 2019.

But Moviepass’s investors won’t be the ones walking away with anything of value. The big theater chains & Disney were just delivered a product market fit for free. Better than free, because all of the Moviepass money went to them.

The last expensive electronic item I got from amazon was a surround sound speaker. It can beat up as shit in a box. I ordered another of the same speaker off eBay, came in pristine condition.

The better word for organic here is free traffic. Buying newsfeed ads was either at a loss or break even but the sharing/interactions from the paid stuff triggered the free traffic. The founders of LittleThings knew what they were doin

I think you, and the other responses, missed it. First, the company needs some sort of moat along with the ability to expand the moat. That is really hard to do in a software world when things can change so quickly. There is a long list of

AI needs compute cycles. These are quite centralized outside of botnets. I’ve pointed this out before, but the primary commercial use cases of AI right now are malicious: mass population surveillance and behavior manipulation (ads; politica

It isn’t just that it is more difficult, it takes much longer to produce a final art asset. If you are doing a 3D game you won’t be able to get away with one artist, you’ll need a team. A good pixel or 2D artist may have more skill in many

That might be the most realistic solution, ironically. They might end up in the bin of start up death from pre-mature scaling. I have no doubt that someone is going to win big in AR. Apple can hit the ground running with all of these ARKit

The problem is there are huge gaps between having a great idea, creating something really impressive, and bringing a product to market successfully and selling at scale. That last step is the most difficult of all. Very few companies pull i

I never ceased to be amazed how people will spend money on things they don't understand, but just think the price will go up before they get to sell.

I've been thinking about this for a few months, and then even longer than that going back to Bitfinex's 2016 incident. The only definite conclusion I've come to is that something is going on that they are trying to hide. May

It can work the other way too. How many people have had their savings wiped out starting s restaurant when they had no idea what they are doing, compared to people who started a McDonald’s or Subway and made out ok? The only thing you can d

Sales issues, which any organization can and will have if they don’t very closely monitor what their sales people are promising and doing. Being a bank is not the red flag characteristic here.
