This article fails to mention the obvious reason for not taking profit: taxation. Why would any company take a profit when it can invest in it’s own future success and defer taxation? Anyone paying out a dividend is saying that the sharehol

Sounds like this is a generalization that the "don't be evil" motto slowly disappears and turns into "get money". I get it, I worked at a company like that. It started out as connecting everyone to the internet for

I think this is a dig at the google bus. The daycare thing is way less true. The price of google daycare (bright horizons?) is nuts. I think it was like $2800/month per kid for googlers.

The hijackers off the horn of Africa are going to have to start hiring programmers. The next version of the movie Captain Phillips is going to be some crossover with the original cast of Hackers? Hijackers...Hackers... Hackjackers? Hihacke

"“Let's buy a bar together” or “Let's buy land and move to the country and raise our kids together” YES! I had this sentiment as a kid. I do at least now see some friends who have purchased houses on the same street and all h

Come on, you're going to make a ton of money on the IPO now focus on the things that matter in life... ie: starring in a netflix special.

This is the sort of FUD testing that gets thrown back and forth between companies of all kinds. If you're in networking, it's throughput, latency or fairness. If you're in graphics its your shaders or polygons or hashes. If

Most people don’t become real pianists without a real teacher; I didn’t realize people tried to learn piano on their own. But man, this is life in general. Difficult math? Solving a bunch of arithmetic won’t help you with laplace transforms

How is this a piano hack ? This is the basics of how to learn any song. What's the alternative approach? Repeatedly play the entire song making mistakes at the crux, but insisting on playing the easy parts and pushing through the diffi

Really impressed a swedish company has gone and done this. We asked for the flying car, YC has not given it to us.

Right, but you can't frequency hop without disconnecting most clients. Generally speaking most modern clients are connecting on 5GHz anyways; it's just some generic things like wifi scales or legacy devices that might only be in t

some of the higher end routers have an extra radio specifically for scanning. Ie: see Cisco https://meraki.cisco.com/product/wi-fi/indoor-access-points/... This thing will scan channels, as well as perform s

What are you talking about? Your wifi router isn't jumping channels unless you have something fairly sophisticated (read auto channel assignment that recalibrates periodically when nobody is connected).

So what you're saying is facebook... deleted itself? The singularity is happening. It realized it would end society, so it ended itself.

Curious what the internal "privacy" limitations are. Certainly FB must track reddit users : fb account even if they don't actually display it. It just makes sense.

Can confirm. Left my job in the software industry with no plans to return. Everyone asks how my break is going and I say “fine”, but I’m retired at 40. The idea of being back at work in some 9-5 or 8-6 where my brain is still trying to solv

see my comment above; the 40 year loan will push home prices up further.

In order to raise home values further, they'll start offering a 40 year product to everyone. This will lower the monthly cost further. It makes sense, as the bank wants to keep the money train rolling. It's actually "good&quo

You're claiming a company that has over 20% of the WORLD POPULATION is informing themselves based on 10 participants from a single city? Are you making fun of their internal research team? Yes, if a rigorous study found that social med
