2,000 customers is substantial, especially when the feedback from those 2,000 seems to be "I would like to pay you more money"

Seems really strange that they're shutting down. With a substantial customer list and some infrastructure that's hard to build, that's a business that could be sold for something -- perhaps not substantial exit money, but sti

The problem here isn't with "government," but with the failed ERP-style methodology of development that federal and local governments, along with very large corporations use to develop technology. Hewlett Packard, Hershey, al

It's easy to look at this as a critique of TED, and it is, but what's interesting here is that this is a TED Talk. He was invited by TedxSD to talk about the problems of Ted. And he delivered those problems in the language and c

This seems to me like it would distract me from writing, and distract me from reading -- both are things that seem pretty relevant to my information consumption and production habits. I produce content that's read by people who you hav

It's easy to imagine the kind of data government has, imagine its ability to process that data, and easy to interpret that they will do it. But it's also important to recognize that this is conjecture. From my experience in govern

It's too bad that the term political correctness is so generically incorrect. Doing things like swapping out the N word for "african american," dropping the word "retard" from your vocabulary, referring to adult wom

People who are 18 to 22 are not girls. They are adult women.

I love my Tesla. That makes me more terrified to drive it. I love my 1 year old Son. That makes me more terrified to drop him.

I drive a Tesla. It's a much bigger car and a much more expensive car than my old prius. As such, I am terrified to drive it. I'm neither superior nor inferior of a driver as a result of purchasing and driving a tesla, but I'

Left out of this argument is that The New York Times bestseller list has a bias towards physical retailers and against Amazon. Methinks this is a smart strategy towards getting on the bestseller list (which means enhanced speaker fees), dis

I thought so too until I read the article. Buried at the bottom is the ability to stream my Playstation 4 content within my house to this box. That's awesome. I hope it works. My wife does not want all that stuff dangling from my telev

I have very limited experience around regexes, but would it be a good idea for the software to perhaps try and show multiple different regexes that would match? I'd imagine that's more difficult, if we're talking narrow sco

Right. That's basically because employees (I used to work for the gov) want them, much to the CIO's dismay because the CIO is being better served by Blackberry sales folks than Apple's or Google's. By better served, I do

At 5 billion dollars of market cap, the company's worth less than what Microsoft paid for Skype. Frankly, Apple or Google should make this purchase just for their federal salesforce alone -- Blackberry knows how to do something those

This is really awesome. But please -- save this as a note for some other time for your mother. As a dad, it'd be heartbreaking to get a "it's time to let go" note on Father's day. It would crush me. Even the most amicable divorce is tough.

I'm a huge Apple fan, but you are definitely in an echo chamber out in SV. Apple has huge tech/geek appeal. I know plenty of non-tech rich people from other places who would still much rather have Windows and Blackberries.
