The first big issue I see with this is in submission. When you submit something often you need to leave the first comment to give it context. So stories on the "new" page are likely to get a lot fewer upvotes. The second big issu

There is no reason taking seed precludes you from putting your own skin in the game. Nor does taking seed force you to not do things your way. This doesn't read like they had a choice, because their reasons don't align with why yo

Female founders can be great with out coding. There seems to be this belief that founders need to write code. If you are doing a "hack" maybe, but a good startup is often as much about the business model and the User Experience as

People react to news. They might binge buy, but they sleep, and they don't sell as often there after. The Bots were keeping the price steady by buying and selling. If not for the bots, the ups and downs would have been a lot "peak

Look at several places the bots started binge buying when the price started to fall out.

The biggest take away from this is that bots were driving the price up, and preventing its fall. "Bots" offer a lot of stability to the market because they don't react to bad news. Though an error can cause "flash crashe

It should be "the problem OF photorealism" not "WITH". We all enjoy photorealism, but it is hard to make. We have a problem OF 3 times 6. Not a problem with 3 times 16. Any how.... I worked on Flight sims in the mid 90&#

Kickstarter takes a lot of money for basically delivering hype. I think KS really should have rules/terms that prevent you from canceling after certain things happen. Press like covering KickStarter. It is a validation that the product

You wake up in the morning and say, "I wish I had a Samsung Galaxy S5". Async: you tell your personal assistant to go get you one. You continue your day, eat breakfast, build a shrine to hold your new phone and he comes back and s

Node.js is asynchronous, not Non-blocking. Don't use the two interchangeably, because they aren't interchangeable. Not understanding this leads to pain and suffering on a massive scale.

Your understanding is limited. PHP has the ability to be written "inline" basically all of PHP acts like a templating engine. That's not how FB makes its developers write. That's a big difference. Also HipHop supports a

Hip Hop, and "PHP" don't really share that much. Wordpress templating is what a lot of people think PHP is like. Zend Framework too. But saying PHP and Hip Hop are the same is kind of like saying Shakespeare and Flavor Flav b

Ok, so let's start with. No. For a number of reasons. "Web Scale deployments" like Linked-in and Pay-Pal aren't actually what most people call Enterprise. The line blurs a bit, but because they are Massive Scale Single T

Yeah. But even Wikipedia got it wrong. Sun had optical mice in the 1980's and you could get a version for the PC from Hewlett Packard in 1997 that used an IR sensor. This paper talks about the history of mice, and mentions that optica

It isn't solved. Just "workable". If 100% of messages are lost, the battle is lost. 100% only has to be "for a meaningful amount of time". Think of it like Raid Arrays. They "solve" hard disk failure. But

You hear about chickens going via the mail every so often. I think if you sent bees to a prominent government official you'd go to jail as a terrorist. Not sure you could pull an "upskirt" and argue that it was legal and win.
