Agreed: not to mention that the y-axis is labeled "More Capacity" but is actually "Greater Capacity per Dollar". Here's a more traditional chart with a roughly y=x trendline: http://snag.gy/bNTiJ.jpg

I imagine the provider ecosystem will be the next nut to crack, both in terms of general regulation and requirements to issue 1099s and the like.

Fascinating, but I don't think I've ever been locked out of my house. CARS, on the other hand, are another story. But in this day of laser-cut keys and computer chips, this app won't be very helpful. I am more interested in t

Not to discount these attacks, but 29 deaths and 140 injuries really doesn't compare to 9/11 (2,996 deaths and 6,000+ injuries).

Is anyone else surprised that that police know that Satoshi is the creator of Bitcoin? That seems like an esoteric piece of knowledge for someone not in the tech space.

Impactful packaging, but seems gimmicky. Also, think about it from a supply chain perspective: water is heavy . Conservatively, assume the mp3 player in normal packaging is about a pound. 16oz of water is going to double that. And distribu

FOBO sounds like an interesting option. Too bad it's irrelevant for 99.7% of the US. This might as well be Craigslist vs. Amazon vs. a cool local swap meet that's only in my city. The only things I've sold on Amazon are textb

I think the next step for them is to cluster by similar images. A green hue, for instance, shows a lot of similar-looking pictures of leaves—better to show one picture and have a "show similar images" feature to dig into a finer l

To be honest, I thought of FiftyThree first, too, when I heard the Facebook announcement. Reading between the lines on this blog post, it doesn't sound like FiftyThree has any legal claim or trademark to hold against Facebook (even if

Patents and trademarks are different things, but I think in either case the idea of "prior art" would apply. In the U.S., you're granted a trademark automatically upon use. Brian should be able to say, "I've been us

I imagine transportation costs could quickly spiral out of control if you didn't have the analytics tuned correctly. But one particular use case comes to mind: you look at a couple items, maybe even add them to you cart, then walk away

Again. It's like people have Photoshop/Illustrator and Helvetica and get an itch to either redesign boarding passes or Craigslist. Pretty and some good thoughts (like the passport integration, though not relevant for domestic U.S.

This is a little wild-eyed considering the nature of the Uber–driver relationship and the crime in question. Question: if a NY taxi driver had been in the same accident, is the taxi company liable?

"...where your day-to-day activities are forced to be about the most basic level of survival?" Isn't the purpose of so-called "subsidization" to avoid this? (Not that it necessarily works in practice.)

Reminds me of the Ogilvy employee who died, allegedly of overwork.[1] With the risk of being seen as a corporate apologist, I'll say that it's really tough to tie this directly to overwork and not to a preexisting condition. E.g.,

I wear suits at work fairly often; it depends on the client and if I'm interacting externally often in a given week (month). I like wearing a suit: I have an enhanced sense of professionalism and self-confidence when I'm dressed to the nine
