How much value is lost through poor investments which nobody hears/cares about? "Disaster" seems a bit strong. Tough luck to the backers, but that's how it goes.

Good idea, but it seems like that idea is serving a different market. It feels like there's room for both.

And, as good as I think the site is, it's not the best looking or most modern. Which just goes to show, release early/often. Don't paralyse yourself trying to be perfect.

It's been known for a long time that standard interviews are a poor indicator of future job performance, so probably any analyses of data regarding behavioural modes, a person's intrinsic motivators, cultural fit etc, will do a sl

I wonder if far more cars surrounding the driverless car will make it even more robust in some ways, for the short-medium term. If there are swarms of cars surrounding a driverless car, tricky things like hand signals and sign interpretatio

Microsoft seem to have been moving towards an Apple-like vertical integration strategy, and the buyout of Devices & Services seems consistent with this. As part of the buyout, Microsoft have bought the rights to use the patents, and hav

Maybe they see the rift as being a disruptor of the gaming industry, which is increasingly social (which has been very profitable for Facebook), and...oh I don't know. It's confusing. I don't know how I feel about it, from a

I don't know if you can or not, but there's research showing that calorie restriction can delay ageing in monkeys, and double lifespan in rodents.

The effectiveness of various hiring methods has been demonstrated pretty rigorously now. But how many companies now take them into account, neverminding 1924? I'd probably be more expecting a Belbin or Myers-Briggs questionnaire to b

Two things. As much as I don't like the idea of incumbents using their weight to protect against innovative competition, is this not just the nature of a strategic view of competitive advantage? I mean, it's not nice, but it seems

Beautiful residence, but it's still striking me as an overbearing set up. I suppose people are choosing to be there. He says they're getting 3x more work done, but i'd love to know why, in terms of work hours etc.

The virtual barbershop is a binaural recording made with special microphones. Presumably they're saying '60 virtual speakers' because they're modelling binaural 'ears' from 60 locations.

How does this work? Is it downloading chunks in order from people, or just starting off doing that, then downloading the rest non-sequentially and streaming that? Is it seeding what it takes? Does it cache complete movies?

I'd love if someone (who isn't as lazy as me) could figure out a sophisticated way to show the actual good movies from a year, rather than the popularly good ones. Sentiment analysis? Trend recognition? I don't know, but, I f

I don't know why this is still disputable, and seems to be such a contentious issue. It seems like everybody who does dispute healthy food costing more is a) basing this on their own experience as a single mid 20's male b) not tak

by anjc 13y ago
The article states that the unhealthy food costs less per calorie amount. So assuming that the average person naturally eats ~2000 calories a day, whether healthy or unhealthy, the healthy food costs more.

Presumably the idea is to define 'commercial' as a website with ads or accept payments, rather than removing sites with ads to increase viewing pleasure. I think it's a good idea. It'd certainly help with the problem of

Do you still think that there's a dynamic fast-paced IT industry here? I'm a native, and to me it feels, for the most part (excluding some exceptional companies), stagnant and dependent on cheap non-EU labour.
