Haha. Yea, that were my feelings the first few hours. But then you get a bit sad about all the tiny friendships that will die and that won't happen if you're not on there. It indeed is disconcerting how tied one's life can be

Palantir getting investment from In-Q-Tel gives them more credibility. The intelligence community is clearly their target market. Getting investment from that community in an overt and legit way doesn't fire any alarms to me.

It's definitely a common sentiment in the LISP community. It's probably valid if your tech is not linked to some platform/language/env that doesn't work well with Clojure. I'd say the main argument against it,

I definitely had Windows Defender enable itself (and delete some files I wanted to keep). It was pretty frustrating. I disabled it in group policy which should [i hope?] keep it off.

If we truly hit an exponential curve, won't standard sexual interbreeding become a thing of the past? I think the big problem will be actually figuring out which DNA configurations yield a human/whatever that's acceptable by

Peter doesn't argue that competition is bad in some general sense. He's merely speaking form an entrepreneur's perspective. For whom competition is very much about diluting profit. Peter gets a lot of flak from people interpr

How niche is it? Can they pay with credit cards (which most people in china and can't)? You'll need a local entity if you want to do payments through Alipay etc. Which can be done with a WFOE if you have aprox. 100k in registered

If you don't need a lot of data I really recommend PCCW's "8 day pass" sim cards. You get 5GB of traffic for 118 HK$. Has decent LTE coverage, was getting up to 40mbps.

YC won't force you to take any money. You could definitely decline any VC you want. But if their tweets are not above a certain threshold of hatefulness then do expect others to be wary of investing in you too.

I don't see a contradiction here. Facebook's push to make people share more information about themselves [potentially] helps both ad revenue and in this case LGBT visibility. It's not a huge stretch to say Facebook helped a l

No. Looks like only people who do feel like commenting here. I guess people who don't, like me, might just not care about it. Kinda like asking people who don't believe in God why they don't. Yes, I might not think I'd m

Why not get a prepaid data card? Using tor on a public wifi is suspicious enough. If you're okay with disabling http (and all plaintext protocols really) then you're better off just using tor instead of a VPN. Keeps the trail of i

At the time of the iPhone announcement I had the HTC TyTN and was about 13-14 I believe. My reaction was very similar to Ballmer's. Windows mobile users had all these features and more for a long time already. It seemed like the only n

Just to acquire the users maybe. And perhaps to get some top Evernote people working for them (if they haven't jumped the ship long ago). The tech itself seems so bloated. I doubt if there's much on the backend that could be salva

Identity politics unquestionably applied to individuals is indeed dehumanizing. I hope we move towards an opt-in culture, where it's considered bad behavior to attach identities to individuals without them opting in.

In Poland, people in schools are too usually forced to write in cursive. But that doesn't mean people like it or are particularly good at it. I was amongst the not-so-few that just couldn't/wouldn't write legibly enough.
