A reminder of how small the tech world is: notice the first name in the "Timeline" pane in the Twttr screenshot: "Kevin Systrom". This would have been about four years before Instagram (was Systrom still an undergrad at Stanford then, even

I love this idea. Sure, one day it could evolve into what we might of now as a "robot friend," but I view this as an experiment in what humans can find patterns in. We're known for things like finding faces everywhere and ascribing meanin

You don't need to store the entire block chain in every client, even in a model where you don't want to trust a third party server. Most of the block chain is "dead," in that the coins in those transactions have changed hands since then.

This is a common misconception. Bitcoin isn't anonymous, but there isn't really a way to use your addresses as an "identity" easily, either. Sure you could use a Bitcoin address as the keypair it is to authenticate yourself, but that seem

How would that work? Bitcoin doesn't really provide an identity.

I don't know. On the one hand, it's very easy to see Bitcoin failing as a currency and disappearing within a few years. On the other hand, the aggregate value of all Bitcoins in circulation is ~$120M with millions of dollars worth of Bitc

There are many exchanges that trade BTC against traditional currencies (for example, mtgox, btc-e, or bitstamp). It's very easy to convert BTC into USD or EUR.

Bitcoin's really easy to use. 1. Download the client from bitcoin.org. 2. Launch it and let it sync with the network. (Unfortunately this takes a long time upfront.) 3. Use the "Send Coins" and "Receive Coins" tabs to send and recei

This reminds me of the "isUserAMonkey" thread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7792123/strange-function-... That turned out to refer to automated testing harnesses as opposed to live users (see: http://developer.android.com/tools/help

FYI that's not a bell curve. It looks much more lognormal or Beta to me (or even Weibull or Gamma could fit it, if you didn't care about how meaningful the parameters were, or wanted to get creative in interpreting them). If you go with Be

Google throws off ~$3 billion in profit (!) a quarter (!). I don't think this a lack of interest in protecting their trademarks in many different languages is the reason for it being in English.

Yes, but Facebook has a billion users and the ability to make the right relationships with literally every card processor. And, group buying is inherently social. I don't see why these aren't at the top of Facebook's list for things to

This seems like the entirely wrong thing to optimize. There are so many other opportunities for Facebook to monetize: - group buying around deals, or group buying in general - "Pay by Facebook" Facebook Connect based payment system

I think you overestimate most biology labs. It's really easy to screw up a protocol in subtle ways. Often it took the original lab weeks of debugging to get it to work (yes, to get it to work, not to produce a false positive). Things get mo

It's very expensive (prohibitively so) to reproduce any substantial study. It also feels like there's a lot of potential downside and very little reward, since there's a presumption of correctness in published papers today. Further, wet l
