I wonder how much of this demand are multi-generational homes (e.g. parents, spouse, kids all in the same house). Those are very common in, say, Chinese families.

When the office gets big enough, you reduce transmit power and add more access points so that there's enough spectrum to cover each desk. Aruba Networks equipment was used at my alma mater, and is also used by $dayjob. I've also h

What if there is a value proposition in paying to have a bot flirt with you now and again? I'm reminded of the entire "robot boyfriend/girlfriend" genre of TV/Movies/Comics from Japan/Korea, plus the &quot

I wonder if there are people who request a Uber from the commuter ferries right before they're about to dock.

There's a simple solution to this -- buses! We don't even need public tax dollars to pay for them. There were plenty of startups that wanted to run "Uber, but with a bus instead of a Car" and they all died because of reg

I never thought I'd say this, but I think I'd like to see an increase in parking garages in San Francisco. Then we could convert on-street parking into parking for bikes and scooters, as well as bus lanes and bus stops (both for t

Murders are under-reported in the mass-media in America because it would make for boring news. Imagine, day after day, the news saying, "and another 47 people were murdered today in America, including 13 in Chicago, and 4 each in Balti

One of the least useful pieces of start-up advice I received in college was, "if your startup fails, don't worry, you can go live in your parents' basement." Well, fine, if your parents owned their home, the worst you ha

Does it really take the entire marketing department for the story to play out this way? It just takes one marketing person to send one email to the right one lawyer in legal, right?

I would bet that Apple would probably rather you not have a relationship with Amazon Video at all, getting your TV and Movies from iTunes instead. But Apple doesn't have a majority of market share (by number of devices), so, in my opin

I get Tripit Pro through work and I find that I usually get push notifications through the app before the flight information displays in the airport (!) have updated. YMMV.

I'd be curious to see what processes are in place for testing the failover of these control systems. (For example, do the teams failover to the local cooling system during DiRT?)

Does anyone actually take "next gen is XX% faster" numbers at face value? Apple, Intel, all say things like this, and real world performance is always worse than the marketing since the tests run in ideal conditions (say, on AC po

It wasn't clear from the home page that $24 is for "one meal that serves 3-4 people". If it doesn't greatly increase the price of packaging for your product, you may want to experiment with showing pictures of (and sendi

If you plan on targeting the college market, I would focus the pitch on parents rather than students. For a student, the alternative is to go to McDonald's and spend $8, or to go to an on-campus cafeteria. For a parent, the alternati

Market rate rent in SF is something like $3k for a studio, which is like 50-75% of those employees' take-home pay if they're making low six figures.

Oof, although not surprising. Once saw a system that used inode numbers as "unique identifiers for files on local disk" and it turns out that on Linux / ext filesystems, they're not unique (they get reused if you delete

You could put a daemon on the initramfs (say, ssh) that allows you to remotely provide a key/password for decrypting the disk. This would certainly be more work to set up than vanilla full-disk encryption, though.

That doesn't help if the underlying cable leading to that circuit isn't thick enough to handle the current draw.

If I understand correctly: with long-held credentials. Basically, you use long-held credentials to generate short-term credentials, and then use the short-term credentials themselves to access whatever server or service you need.

Google's San Francisco office is in "East Cut". The idea of divorcing "Google" from "Locals" is utterly ridiculous in our neighbourhood. This is one of the few places I'd expect Maps to actually be
