I'm a bit confused. The number quoted in the article said there are only 500 taxi's in SF right now? That seems super low and not significant - since all the estimates I can find for SF ubers in the area are in the tens of thousan

The article uses the premise that we have 15 years to avert a runaway crisis - and points out that nuclear won't be able to scale by then. That second part is entirely true. But most people don't actually think the world will stop

I think the discussion misses the most important part: The goal of the Netflix prize wasn't to come up with the best algorithm - it was to make the Netflix brand exciting and legitimate to engineers. At the time, Netflix wasn't su

I agree. I also think discussions like this article assume that running a company is unique from other similar choices. Is trying to become a singer/actor becoming an entrepreneur? Its fairly similar in terms of entering a winner-tak

I disagree. They have a couple hundred students there at any time and the percent of people who will make an actual career from it is still relatively low. Way better than moving to Hollywood with no connections but it is still extremely wi

I still don't get how this solves any major issues. Neither major companies or the vast majority of people need to wire money at 2am. The main utility of banks (and the main profit center) is giving users the ability to spend money on
