Ask your ISP. Show them this matters to you, enough to cancel your contract. I asked mine (PAXIO in the Bay Area) and they said they have no plans to sell any customer data.

A professional VC will be wrong about some 80% of the startups they fund. Yet you want to punish a teenager for not correctly evaluating the chances of receiving a well-paying job 4+ years into the future?

From the article it sounds like the regulation comes from a court precedent. The court sought advice from the Obama administration. It was not an executive order.

I'm interested to see how Apple will react to this, given their history with the FBI. Right now, you can connect your iPhone to a computer and get all the information off it - doesn't matter if you are iTunes or Cellebrite. It&#x2

The Toyota GT86, Mazda MX5, and Nissan 370Z are examples of that. However, looking at how many models were discontinued (Honda S2000, Toyota Supra, Toyota Celica, Mazda RX8), maybe the market opportunity is not as big.

I think the argument about AI overtaking humanity is wrongly framed. Sci-fi has taught us to be on the look out for an all-powerful machine, robot, algorithm, turning against humanity. A single, united swarm of machines that only needs huma

This is certainly an area where tech companies can learn from retail. You've probably heard of the Nordstrom employee who allowed a customer to return a Bloomingdale's purchase. And it's no isolated accident - stores, hotels

The big news for me is that now you can use all of Datomic's functionality at scale for free with Datomic Starter. You only pay if you want support. Until now, to go beyond 2 instances, you had to pay $3000 per process, which sounded l

After spending several years developing in Django, I am currently building something in a Scala web framework (not gonna name names) and the level to which Django just works is utterly amazing. If your application fits the use case - a most

Having just been through the process myself, here's my advice. 1) If you are moving from the US, you want to move to Europe not for better jobs, but for better quality of life overall. Europeans work less hours, have more vacation, and

It could be useful to have "horizontal" episodes around a problem, e.g. three companies that survived a founder leaving.

Sounds like a low-level implementation of event sourcing/CQRS. Is there anything similar that is usable right now? Perhaps built on Kafka?

Just like there are swing states, there are swing counties. As soon as you figure their results out, you can call the state with a good degree of confidence.

There is a proliferation of predictive models and their outcomes vary widely. LA Times consistently predicted a Trump win, FiveThirtyEight was down to a coin toss a few times, while The New York Times was persistently pro-Hillary. While tho

I wonder if AI will take over eSports (Twitch, competitions, etc.), as well. It could be a variant of the Turing test.

Given the Mac's history in the last few years, and the fact that it only accounts for 12% of Apple's revenue and 8% of shipped units, I see two scenarios: 1) Apple gets out of the Mac business in a few years - Apple is not the kin

I wonder how much it would cost to add hardware for both Autopilot v1.0 and v2.0 for the gap models, so new customers don't have to make the sacrifice. Lack of complete Autopilot for a while is fine, but lack of emergency braking incre

How plausible is it to stick an ARM chip and a (lower-end) Intel CPU on the same board and make them work together? The transition to an ArmBook would be much smoother and I'm betting it won't affect cost of the laptop that much.

Sounds more like a digital currency than a blockchain currency. When this is just between a few banks, which inherently trust each other, there's no need to build a sophisticated P2P blockchain for a job that can be done with a couple
