I agree that Microsoft should sell the monitor by itself, or at least allow an eGPU accessory, but it seems they're going to 'Apple route' where they fully control hardware and software.

Considering Snapchat revealed Spectacles, which in my mind was an unexpected hardware development, they could use funding for side projects and expansion. Hopefully, they don't become like Twitter and waste all that money for so little

A current problem that I feel blockchain-based currencies face all is the inability to effect large scale changes. Whether it be Bitcoin's infighting or Ethereum's decision to fork, the reliability of transactions by blockchains c

I don't mean an actual dollar cost but computing power. Is there a way to enforce a limit on requests from IoT, or a way to increase costs of running a botnet but not have that cost transfer to the owners of IoT?

Ok so I don't know that much about how DDoS attacks work besides that it's basically a large influx of input that makes it impossible for 'legitimate' users to get through. But in a block chain, a Sybil attack—imagine vo

Competition without regulation ultimately leads to monopolies. Companies survive because they're better than other companies, and eventually they get big enough to just buy off or crush newer competitors. At this point, the monopoly wi

My only question: is it better to start a separate fund (OS fund) or company (Kernel) for biomedical research rather than joining a pre-existing one? The article said that Pfizer annually spends $7-9bn on R&D. Maybe resources are spread

To be fair, software has higher profit margins than hardware. Even higher when you make that software as a service. A lot of the margins is diminished due to the physical upkeep, which can be argued as "hardware". I would agree th

I would argue that a lot of new companies like Uber and AirBnb are information brokers -- they provide a service of connecting demand (consumers) to a previously untapped supply (merchants). The economic value they have comes from 'cre

Let's separate Peter Thiel the businessman and Peter Thiel the political donor. Whatever negative things he does in politics does not detract the achievements he accomplished in business. Following this belief—which is merely my opinio

I would argue that this election season is an exception: both candidates are polarizing, leaving very little room for undecided voters. As a result, the marginal efficiency of political donations is drastically decreased. In a regular campa

Schools should adopt more dynamic curriculum, instead of a one size fits all, for individual students. Not everyone will grow up to be an engineer, but that doesn't mean those who have an interest in advanced mathematics should be held

Thiel donating to Trump is not a big deal. Honestly, if people really wanted to solve this 'issue' instead of criticizing the business ethics of YC, they'd go DONATE TO THE OPPOSITE CANDIDATE and VOTE ON NOVEMBER 8TH. Because

An education system that would promote entrepreneurship would one that focuses on group projects and encouraging students to take risks with new ideas. At the moment, there is too much pressure and no incentive for students to solely focus
