See... controversy inspires active discussion.

Twitter loves Trump. It's not just twitter... the whole profit center around online communities is based on active communities. Most topics are cyclical - once the Superbowl is over, it's hard to keep a football community active

Hennessy was an incredible steward at Stanford, and I'm 100% sure that he will be a difference maker at Alphabet. I don't see him taking the position if he didn't have an incredible vision for the future that he could drive.

The parallels to penny stocks in the 80s are rampant.

You mean like Oracle? Or Sybase? Or Informix? Or Terradata? Well, I guess you can stick to DB2.

I have perl5 in production and we are pushing to migrate that codebase to python - for the plain and simple fact that it's getting harder and harder to find people with any interest in perl5.

Having strong personal convictions about security and architecture was one of the primary reasons that tinydns and qmail were the staples that they were. Yes, they have been feature locked for a long time. But let's not pretend that c

I thought Magic Leap had already waived the white flag and decided to become yet another goggle vendor.

There was insider trading happening? I'm shocked.

That's actually a fantastic description of Jira.

If this is a potential consequence of online gaming, then I don't want any of my children gaming online. We all know that the police response to this issue is going to be inadequate. What I'm curious about is the gaming industry

I think this is right. ~$30 for a nifty piece of technology makes a great no-brainer gift. It's in the ballpark price range of secret santas and gift exchanges. Throw in that it was mentioned in all the black friday deal discussions

The gamification talk currently going on is painting a very effective picture of China basically taking the most evil position possible with technology.

Sure it is. I don't disagree for a second. But there is no shortage of sales people that will promise things they can't deliver very effectively to decision makers. CIOs, CTOs, and CEOs are not stupid. More often than not when

Addressing several of the threads here: If you're doing contract development that can be done half as well for a quarter of the cost by an offshore team, you are not doing consulting. You are competing in an arena that you will never

I wouldn't put them on a pedestal. And to think that MSNBC airs any kind of content that is non-partisan is a joke.

Imagine... If somebody like Rush Limbaugh had a nationwide radio show where day by day he created content based on RNC talking points. Or a network like Fox or MSNBC went all in on party loyalty and based all their content on party talking

If you are the 12,000th player in the pyramid scheme it doesn't end well.

A NY Medallion was going for over a million before Uber came along (now ~$850k). Wait lists are typically longer than 10 years.

A retread of a google glass demo is a long way off from what they were marketing two years ago.

Legislative solutions are always bad. What is needed is simply competition and for people who care about the things you care about to have influence among end user communities.

SV is an oddly judgemental area. When people have unpopular opinions they tend to discuss them quietly. My wife doesn't work in tech, but she did lose a job over a post on a message board that didn't agree with her boss' pol

That is bizarre. An HR rep's job is to minimize the company's liabilities, not expand them. I understand not shifting employee job functions based on an unproven accusation. If there's a restraining order in place, it'

I can confirm that Comcast responds to FCC complaints effectively. I used that route when they were my provider after a series of unhelpful technical support requests.

There is no compliance rule put out by the SEC that requires (or even suggests) source code review.

Uber is not in a regulated industry. Taxi companies do not have any obligation to store email or any other communication for x number of years. You can destroy whatever you want pre-lawsuit. Once the suit is filed, you are not allowed to

I'm happy that progress is being made. I'm not excited as a person who likes driving to be sharing the road with a bunch of computers. I'm not worried that they'll crash into me. I'm more concerned that they will

Chatbots are like IVR systems and phone trees. It's a neat idea, but they are a pain in the ass, nobody likes them, and their benefit over a human is marginal in a best case scenario.

The fight that people are putting up is ludicrous. If you can do _anything_ to help someone who is in trouble like this, you should do it. My hope would be that they open source whatever it is that they've come up with so that other s
