My perspective, having sold a company: security isn’t that important until you’re big. When you’re small you’re a small target, your resources are better spent on features and sales, and if you get hacked you can change your name and preten

Well these fake viral messages are usually quite temporary so you could expire the cache after some time and if some messages have particularly long “legs” just re-send them to clients after their TTL expires

I know what economies of scale are. When you are buying and prepping 100,000 of the same meal at once it is much cheaper than prepping 100,000 different meals.

The meal kit companies do have fundamental operating advantages which have yet to translate into a massively successful business. By offering customers only a limited choice of meals, they are supposed to achieve huge economies of scale. Th

No. The difference between talking (very intelligently) and doing is huge, and a sports analogy might be illustrative. If you ask detailed questions about football to hire a NFL quarterback, your most intelligent responses will probably be

An anechoic chamber is not a good recording environment. The musician won’t be able to play well.

Because they’re trying to promote the city and its history and its mystique. There are better sounding violins than Strads and better recording environments than this but would that get any interest from people?

The design reason for a circular watch is that it visually matches the many round things on a human (pupils, appendage cross sections, breasts, etc) more than the zero rectangular things on a human (front teeth maybe?)

If I have to get into a gunfight on the street because banning gambling machines would be against “freedom” well I guess I’m not that into freedom.

Earth orbits the sun is not true. They orbit each other around the barycenter of the system. Energy “originally” from sunlight even more “orginally” comes from the strong force. The antibiotic neomycin has been shown to have therapeutic eff

The vendors have thrived for a decade just by improving specs. We went from NTSC to 1080p to 4K and TV sizes from 27 inches to 55 inches. But now peoples eyes aren’t good enough and their houses aren’t big enough to need anymore. Same thing

The fact is that the big tech companies are feeding at a trough of money that seems to be infinitely deep, but only a million or so people worldwide have the skills to build and implement Internet services at the billion-user scale. Until t

Microsoft isn't even trying to directly make money off GitHub Enterprise. What they're doing is plugging GitHub into a giant ecosystem of Azure-related services that they sell to large corporations for millions of dollars per year

This is an obvious idea hampered by the business model impossibilities of owning $20,000 battery packs which you can only improve in value by a few dollars every time you exchange them. The inventory / infrastructure / damage cost

These workers aren't laid-off... they're just not being paid. I don't know if a landlord can sue Yahoo if they just stop paying an employee causing them to not make rent. It doesn't sound absurd to me.

Phones have hit what PCs hit 10 years ago — there just isn’t any real need to upgrade them anymore. 5 year old phones do the basic phone functions great (texting / selfies / Candy Crush) so the market will have to shrink.

When society falls apart the rich won’t have anything that the poor won’t. The people who built these bunkers for the super rich are going to put a 9mm in the back of their head and invite their brother Steve to take the owners spot. “Combi

You’re thinking about this the wrong way. These people are on a mission for Mother China. It’s patriotism and loyalty. It’s why militaries everywhere get people signing up for a “glorious death” protecting the assets of billionaires.
