This is fascinating. I've walked over those countless times and always wondered what they were. I am curious about this one bit though: > When vault lights were first installed, much of the glass was clear. But when the manganese is

This should be fun! 1. Gaming consoles are essentially coming to an end. Die-hard gamers still buy dedicated systems but for the most part everything is available to stream. 2. 5G turned out to be a bust. The low latency, fastest version wi

Rather than running JS on the server, one way I found things to be effective is using any server side templating capability to basically "bootstrap" what the JS might typically do on start-up. So the server renders you a page that

No phones, though. It's pretty much impossible (especially for the non-technical person) to use anything but iOS or Android and actually be able to do stuff other than calling people.

The issue here is the Palantir tool versus the Palantir company. When I did DoD contracting work I worked both with the Palantir tool and worked on a competitor to it. The tool itself basically correlates data from multiple sources and work

Yeah, I've never understood the complaint about IKEA instructions. Their instructions and build steps are always miles better than other furniture companies.

That's the tough part. People overwhelmingly just search for the site they want and go to it that way so it's hard to figure out what would take its place other than some form of search. But a lot of people seem to be thinking abo

I'm convinced that TLDs will slowly fade away. They're not very intuitive, especially if they're not a .com and the user is not very technical. I know Google would love for search to basically replace the need for them but I

There are no ads on Stadia nor have they announced that there would be. You currently have to pay full price for their games, I don't see how you can just shove ads into them. Maybe in the future if they offer a subscription but right

Bitcoin isn't good for transactions. It's too slow, too cumbersome for he average consumer and its value fluctuates so much that you'd have to have dynamic pricing. I love the idea of crypto currency and I really do think, on

I would imagine an IPO is a lot different than another type of exit, like an acquisition. I've been through two acquisitions and both went terribly for just about everyone but the founders. For an IPO I haven't been through one of
