I saw Ito on a panel debate, in the Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford conference -- incidentally the place where he was first approached regarding the position [1]. If Biz Stone made the funny web-cowboy comments, Ito definitely made the thoug

The interesting question is then: how can Dropbox make more profit? By wiggling the conversion rate only? Preferably, they are working at tangential services that leverage the data that is already stored, capitalizing on their assets more t

Thank you! 1) I didn't include it in the plot since I found it to remain constant, at ~300 requests/second. But yes, perhaps it would show a nice contrast to batching if graphed along with it. 2) This is an interesting question. I think it

Reminds me of this article in the Economist: "Why do firms exist?": "His central insight was that firms exist because going to the market all the time can impose heavy transaction costs. You need to hire workers, negotiate prices and enforc

It's only better if you -- by reading up on convention beforehand -- know which way an edge points; does decreasing thickness indicate an incident node, or the opposite? Not clear on its own.

The symptoms ( http://jacquesmattheij.com/Are+you+suffering+from+burn-out ) are stated to be, sort of, phases. Anyone speaking from experience: can a burnout be avoided by identifying early symptoms? If so, how?

> "To me, swings in MBA aspirations seem to track to a perception of 'where the easy money is' or, in bad times, 'where the safe jobs/career paths are'." Interesting statement. Anyone else thinking the same (or differently), and can bac

Thank you for the advice! Also, I should mention that I am indeed fascinated by the multitude of topics that other have studied, but that I don't know anything of. That's the problem, I believe: I want to get past the mundane "So what is th

Come by during the open days for the Computer Science & Philosophy programme. Chances are I'll be arranging puzzle-hunts. Edit: realised you're probably not here anymore.

How many people does it take to put up a website promoting a txt-file addition to webroot? 5, apparently. Next up they'll take millions in VC, integrate with Facebook and write blog posts on it all. </sarcasm> Somehow a balance shou

Oh. Another "the next bubble is in academe" post. How interesting. It even has the same graph as all others. Fascinating. Excuse my completely non-constructive comment, but am I the only one who thinks this topic has been dissected enough?

This didn't happen to me, but that's only because I set up dozens of post-its and alarms reminding me to quit those tests I was running on EC2. That's perhaps the one web-service that has made me the most paranoid.
