What's the legality of this? Would it be illegal for me to download proprietary software from the owner's domain if the owner didn't mean to make available for free? If a movie studio broadcast a brand-new movie over the air for free by mis

How could there not be room for innovation there? Anyone who has used SAP can see that. A few years ago, one of my clients in an oil plant was trying to find parts (a certain type and size of carbon-steel pipe). They were on SAP, and all in

Beautiful website. I highly recommend supplementing a course like this (where you learn about the language's ecosystem) with the R Cookbook from O'Reilly. It's been a lifesaver for me, and helped me learn R over the course of a few months o

They mention that there are four cables "connecting Syria to the Internet." OK, I'm curious! How do they know? How many cables connect, say, Brazil to "the Internet?" Is this publicly available somewhere?

What percentage of "job creators" does this cover? The Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that computer and mathematical jobs are 2.7% of ALL jobs and 5.5% of jobs in SF.[1] I can't find the percentage of NEW jobs that are tech-related. [1]

I appreciate the argument about SpaceX (and the other thoughtful replies to my question). I just think that this case is fundamentally different from a rocket company. This is something that, to make profit, would need to be used by global

From the article: "The company has deliberately avoided filing patents on its heat exchanger technology to avoid details of how it works - particularly the method for preventing the build-up of frost - becoming public." I would think that f

Irony: Mr. Schneier links to MobileScope in his story, a company making an app to help you track which applications are sending your data out. If you go on their site and sign up to learn more, your confirmation screen proudly displays "Pow

If the we assume the hypothesis is true (that exposure to real-life business problems generates the best startup ideas), wouldn't it follow that management consultants have tons of great business ideas? I mean, if I want to maximize my expo

They've had free Uber TAXI in Boston since Tuesday morning (until Thursday 8pm) and it's been awesome. I ubered home yesterday and to work this morning. I'm pretty sure the idea was to get the cabbies onboard. And it worked: both cabbies I

Very, very cool startup. For us non-technical folk, you might wish to add a section to your how-to explaining how Kera.io would interact with proprietary data; for example, if our app happens to be financial, would you be able to see any of

This is ironic. It's completely alien to me that there have been massive, widespread attacks on American embassies due to a youtube video. I keep wondering why they don't understand something that we learn as children: when you argue with a
