It's not useless, it's a nice, basic tool that's clearly a hit with users. But it can never be that simple, can it? We got to grow! monetize! have another fundraising round! justify it all with increasingly complex features o

I think it's conventional to give Mayer the benefit of the doubt, I certainly did for a long time, but if there's one responsibility that lies squarely in the hands of the CEO it's to define a clear, unifying vision for the c

I think Apple is very well positioned to take a big bite out of the transportation pie, by all indicators they are strategic, committed, and have zero excess baggage. But I also consider it to be a very long play, I wouldn't expect ret

Jabbering and laughably geriatric Rupert Goodwin groans 'Get off my lawn!'; spilling his senility swill all over the singularitarian sycophants. A stalwart moore's law mooter masterminds against the myths of demon-summoning M

Everything goes in foomp steps if you condense time enough. Condense the last 200,000 years of human evolution to a couple minutes, and it goes 'Foomp', and the super foompy part doesn't happen until the last 2/10ths of

It's a hypothetical, not expected to happen in conventional supercomputers with the current state of machine learning. Imagine a massively parallel optical computer with the same transistor density as the human brain, the size of an ol
