That's the real challenge. Being able to, for example, loiter over a suspected clanlab 24/7 for a month to gather evidence is far more taxing than flying an optimized route.

If Airbus is successful, you'd have to compare SpaceX's scale to a similarly massive manufacturing operation of solar-powered aircraft. And you could theoretically make money from multiple sources since the aircraft could carry mu

This kind of reputational damage can force companies to pay more to get to talent. Back when I was in advocacy for big tech, I attended a TPP briefing led by Commerce. I sat next to a lobbyist from big tobacco. I guarantee that guy earned a

Public salaries don't mean that everybody gets paid the same. It just brings the differences to light. If you have the same job title as somebody else but you manage twice as many projects, there's no reason you should both earn t

When the lockdowns started, I realized I was barely moving. I bought an affordable treadmill from Amazon and wandered around the hardware store for parts and built a sturdy treadmill desk setup. Total build cost was around $500. Now I walk

This would be really useful as an app! I moved to Washington DC back when illuminated pedestrian paths were in weirdly short supply. People were getting mugged on the National Mall in the dark.

I agree with you. It sounds basic, but from my experience the key is only sending emails that people actually want to receive and being ruthless about dropping accounts that appear to have become inactive.

This is an important distinction. Companies that never take VC money and generate profits can run indefinitely without having an exit event. If I had a steady profit stream from a company, I wouldn't necessarily want to sell.

I work in a company that sends millions of emails every month through our own server. We moved to new IPs last year and didn't see a big disruption. The key is having a high quality list and only ever sending things that people actuall

I totally agree! I run a data science department at a corporation and it's amazing how much of our job is done on our laptops. I have a Dell Precision. When I need more power (a very rare situation), I can spin up a GPU cloud server an

I wonder how long they'll keep the API live with so few restrictions and fees. Twitter makes huge amounts of money from selling the kind of data that PushShift gives away for free from Reddit.

Exactly right. Imagine you have a list of 10,000 people who have visited your website whom you want to target with ads. You don't want to show anybody your ad more than ten times. You're using an ad network that reaches ten millio

And video ads carry much higher per-user prices then display ads. Especially if the whole ad finishes playing or you accidentally click on the ad when trying to close it.

I like companies that have a "Support" button that leads to a page that offers live chat. Having a chat box on the home page feels gimmicky to me.

I hadn't seen a reference to StumbleUpon in a long time. That brings me back. In college, I could spend an unlimited amount of time clicking the "Stumble" button. I finally kicked my habit by giving it up for Lent.

One popular service took this to its logical extreme. They sent me an email with five different star options to click to rate them. Stars 1-4 took me to a private page to offer feedback about what I didn't like about the service. The 5

If you buy "Artificial intelligence: a modern approach," I suggest coughing up the extra money for the latest version. It's several times more expensive than older copies but they really updated the content.

Agreed. If you move far enough up the supply chain, you'll find the same components being used in many different types of devices.
