This really puts the whole Hillary Clinton email scandal into perspective, huh? The message seems to be that if you leak classified data to the American people you get a big punishment, whereas if you leak classified data carelessly (Clinto

In solr vs elasticsearch, my understanding is that solr is more correct and has faster & better algorithms for certain edge cases. Though I'd be interested in hearing the details of any differences of opinion. Therefore Stratio

Most businesses try to make a profit. In business, competing against a high volume very low margin incumbent is pretty much #1 on the list of things you should never ever do.

That is low. A good formula would be to treat their stay as if it were forced employment. They should be pro rata'ed 3x the annual median household income annually (since it's a 24 hour a day commitment). And pay tax on it. It

I hate to be critical because I love the core idea, and YCRs wonderful corporate generosity. However, this is path dependency in action, in all it's anti-intellectual glory. The only value that will be extracted here is the publicity&

On Twitter, Nikesh is spinning it as a positive, no big deal. He says: I still love Masa, etc. So maybe it worked out well for him. Softbanks stock has declined somewhat since he is reported to have bought $487 million worth to become Softb

Sounds like a good open source business model to me. If OVH were distributing it exactly the way UbuntuCo was distributing it, eg. as an ISO on a http/ftp site then I don't think UbuntuCo would have the legal footing to do this. B

Because it was a science startup company. The underlying proprietary technology that the entire company is supposed to be based on is a fraud. It doesn't matter if their tech may one day only require a microlitre of blood to do a blood

Do you think it's fair to compare a startup with established multinational companies that have profits and a serious track record? These investors are presumably investing in something, not writing a blank cheque. I could go start a sp

It's shocking to find out that a science education is actually pretty useful for leading a science company. DFJ and the other investors should be getting way more of the blame for not doing proper due diligence on Theranos. It's k

I don't think you can generalize at all. Your comment is essentially self stereotyping. I'm good at math so I must be asian. Oops, that doesn't work for me. Blackberry was a great company once, with wonderfully generous found

Does Tango come with software to stitch together a 3d model with a texture? For example, could I use it to scan a shoe or other discrete object in front of a bluescreen? That's probably the first question on any web retailers mind.

It could be an iterative process, with niche domain and custom clause support. For small-mid business people interested in GTD, I think there would be enough utility gained by both sides to remain on the platform. For experienced business p

I read a study the other day that concluded that neuron regeneration can occur well past middle age. I think that's the only explanation for what happened here. He was easily the toughest senior citizen player that has ever lived.

I have an entirely different critique of the idea, based on the breadth of the experiment. I think there is a good case that the more people that have the basic income, the better chance there will be of network effects arising. For example

I guess we're moving into the sour grapes stage of the litigation. I guess corporations really are people: 1. denial (tick) 2. anger (TICK) 3. bargaining (tick) 4. depression (coming soon) 5. acceptance (#NeverAccept?)

Apis are still copyrightable according to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. That's not great, and I hope Congress does something about it for the other languages (eg. C#/.NET) that haven't yet been whitelisted as fair to

At this point it's irrelevant what the underlying language is. Apis will either be copyrightable or uncopyrightable. I hope Google wins but I don't think their lawyers did the best job litigating this. For example, where was the t
