One thing that most people get wrong is that Uber doesn't offer taxi services. In the US at least, there are two classifications for "car for hire." One is street-hail - you wave down a car or get into one at a stand. That w

We don't have to imagine - Flywheel was that company. It got reasonable funding but couldn't get taxi companies to sign up. Things got a bit better when it became clear that Uber was going to kill taxi companies but too little, to

That sounds like you're using "type" to mean "representation", albeit with a lot of detail. I may be odd, but my programming problems are rarely due to the number of bananas or how bananas are represented, but wheth

You'll both be happier if your title is NOT CTO or Chief anything. Same for Vice-President. If the company is successful, odds are that you won't be Chief a few years from now. That's a painful change. You'll probably

Someone with Buffet's success should exist by random chance. (Flip a fair coin enough times and it will come up heads 20 times in a row.) Also, some fraction of Buffet's success comes from deals that the rest of us don't hav

Chevron deference came from a case in 1984, so any "sky is falling" argument should explain why the sky didn't fall before then. Note that the Natural Resources Defense Council was the LOSING litigant in that case. (I don&#x

A few decades ago, Quickturn sold a custom-built FPGA cluster to do hardware simulation at the gate level. Quickturn was bought by Cadence and now seems to be gone.

Binary search is a great example of why you can't just look at the loop control variables to understand what body does for the iterations. You have to look at both. If it turns out that the body's behavior can be easily described

That's the wrong way to think about it. "We've built a great new way to design physical structures." "So what? The existing ways work just fine." "We designed and built a rocket engine in two days."
