This is tangential, but a couple of years ago I market tested the idea of a slack competitor that limits interruptions. I could not find demand and ditched the project.

Access to datasets makes machine learning not a meritocracy. Saw a recent talk at an insuretech conference where the speaker lamented that China will leap ahead in AI research since they gather more data about users than anyone else. From t

Atomic swaps don't make WBTC feasible in a trustless decentralized fashion. The swap itself is only a very small part of the problem. The article states they are using custodians to hold Bitcoins.

I doubt anyone is after them because even 50K pages of paper /ink is not much financial damage and I'm sure very few whose printer joined the party bothered reporting it. Am I missing something?

They talk in detail about how at many well known startups, the early employees went on to start their own companies, which indicates that they were good early hires because they were great entrepreneurial thinkers. It seems highly likely to

I’ve been programming for almost 30 years, know most of the things on his list, but a few years ago I got an email from a guy interested in one of my apps and he told me about the apps he built and how much money he was making. He had nearl

As far as I know, IPFS is not really decentralized. Some people say it is if others pin your files, but there are no guarantees that anyone will do that. I’ve worked with startups who asked me to use IPFS and this is what it looks like: set

I have Celiac disease. I try very hard to not be a burden to people, but in some cases I cannot avoid it. Sometimes I have to skip a meal like when a meeting includes box lunch of a sandwich. I’ve also learned about non-perishables I can st

I wonder if this article ended up improving search ranking and revenues for the creator. Another form of automated seo generation I see is youtube users that scrape images and 3rd party news articles then convert them into a video with a sl

Sorry I’m still confused. You took roughly 7000 pictures in two afternoons? What do you mean by sliced them in bulk? If you took them from different angles how do you slice them in bulk?

Tight OS integration is their advantage. Airpods can do things in ways other manufacturers cannot. The OS has special case Airpod code. How would another manufacturer replicate this? I don't think they could without Apple's ecosys

Depends on who you ask I believe. Both Reddit founders have gone on record stating that he was not a co-founder. Wikipedia says Paul Graham says he was, but he wasn't technically there since the beginning. He joined forces with them th

You're probably right, but do you not agree that declaring PRISM illegal would be a helpful step?

This resonated with me as an introvert and I'm not Chinese. There have been many times that I've realized, I should have spent more time collecting connections and less time working in front of the screen. I think this also relate

That's not absolutist true, but this is the type of study I would like the government to invest in with my tax dollars. We should know how often this is the outcome.

I've noticed a similar effect with fast food restaurants. Fast food up-and-coming competitors tend to offer higher quality, fresher food at a slightly higher price. Problem is that when you look back at McDonald's 50 years ago, it

Bitcoin wallets generally generate multiple addresses so most users have many. The wallet software does the work of displaying all addresses combined as a single balance. This is different than Ethereum where generally most users have 3 or

Wow as a CTO this is a nightmare scenario. Is this common? I guess this means google.com does not use Google Cloud because I’m sure they have uptime targets. They cannot handle incidents like this and expect people to take them seriously as

Yeah this strikes me as similar to bill naming. I call the bill "Protect Children Act" -- Now anyone who votes 'no' must be against protecting children regardless of what the bill says. Most people can't be bothered

How does Siri have a lack of data? They send all Siri requests to their servers. They have it all. It's not a data problem with Siri, and to excuse Apple Maps after all these years --- come on, they have unlimited budget. There is no e
