SV startup culture has been about personal responsibility since at least the glory days of Atari, which ( according to my sources and a published movie ) had an MRD - Marjuana Research Division - built in a small rooftop shack, and sometime

Who cares whether they're a technology provider? It's a benefits service, and I don't care how they achieve a better user experience. If they do that in the short term with humans, power to them. Isn't that the mantra of

Potential customer here. One guy's experience. As a technical founder of my own company, the founder of Zenefits ( reportedly, they maybe use that line but coming from standard sales reps ) reached out and suggested I take a look at Ze

We need the competition, I don't understand why as a society we would want a megacompany controlling the international chemical market.

I went through this - I was a caregiver for my partner who was diagnosed with GBM. It's a terrible disease, and by terrible, I mean most people have no idea. It's one of the diseases with an extraordinarily poor outcome ratio (und

I have seen data recovery. Once. 22 years into my career, and it was still a home system. Which I believe proves your point.

I recommend using the RAID card as an HBA (JBOD), turn on the fast path, and use software that can share multiple devices evenly.

FusionIO cards run with FTL maintenance on the main CPU. Run a workload and you'll see the driver spinning in a way that isn't accounted for by your operations. It's not pretty - at high workloads, the network interrupt traff

I have run into the author in other contexts, and I believe (without quotable proof) that Heron must be massively faster than Storm - if he says it is. Storm has a wide variety of failures (I've presented about "when to use storm&

The NSA's response said about the same thing, once you get to the end --- not interesting, not reasonable for encryption and decryption. Interesting, I think, the statement that Nash's machine requires "comparatively" to

They share the parking lot of my company, and the cars look pretty cool. What I don't understand: cars are not encrusted with sensors like Google's self driving cars. Would love an explaination of their tech to hide sensors.

And no one will buy the product, they'll expect awesome for free, and the company will go for a song. Why expect a different outcome the second time?

Biased opinion here (Aerospike CTO and Founder), but you might want to check out open-source Aerospike DB. Like Foundation, it's clustered by default, very very good at SSD / Flash, runs great in cloud deployments, etc. It's

I've been looking for clear statement of IPv6 --- it's not sticking in my head yet and I get a lot of questions about schema design around IPv6 --- this looks like it might finally give a clear view.

If someone paid your company $240M, even with shoddy oversight, knowing that the health of millions of people depends on reasonable engineering (one website), you'd deliver a decent website. This is appalling. The fact that so many her
