When the voting lines require 3 hours to vote, single parents with small kids skip voting. Voting booths are expensive and during cutbacks, people have to travel far and have 3 hour lines. This happened in Arizona and other places in prim

The truth is that we can't trust INTEL. Their CPU micro-code or ME (Management engine) can and does "phone home" to the internet, grab updates and update the CPU. They don't allow the customer to turn this OFF, which b

I'd love people's opinion on this. From my understanding, HFT (High frequency trading) firms are front running stock orders. NYSE sells them data on stock orders. They buy data center space in order to front run stock orders.

Microsoft is incredibly messed up on passwords and logins. Office 365 is password hell. They ask to login with a Microsoft account and I login with an Office 365 account, and they reject it. I stopped using my Hotmail account because the

The problem has gotten infinitely worse lately. I think the 2008 recession from a rigged economy was the first half of the problem. The NSA surveillance state uncovered by Snowden broke the last half of trust in government. This is why v

The government actions are immoral. When an entrepreneur has raised capital from investors, his personal reputation is on the line to be a good shepherd for their investment. Shutting down their company destroys the entrepreneur's pe

I know the Unicorn market is making a massive pull back, and about time. What is happening to the Valley valuations and number of deals completed? I'm curious on if this has any effect on seed companies with valuations at $4m to $6m p

People should really understand how revolting what is happening. Watch the congressman indignant about spying on Israel. What is happening here is that they are putting the privacy of a foreign country higher than US citizens. Politicians

I disagree. I had a startup in the recruting space. Companies only have about 3% to 7% of their jobs filled by head-hunter placement fees. This company is smart. Most of existing head hunter placement fees were obtained because a head h

I wish they can turn their fuzzers and similar tests that they build into an open source test suite that can be run by anyone, and into the future. That would be a great public contribution from this work.

This won't end well. Microsoft is a bubble with an echo-chamber internally. Their employees are in the 1990s era, which is making DVD application software (Word, etc.). The problem is that they still think that way. Senior managers
