This article puts a whole new spin on 'anti-virus'. It posits that open sourcing 'important' genomes, those of presidents and others, would be the best defense against any sort of synthetic biological attack, targeted specifically at the i

Widows is dead with version 8. Long live windows. I think he should rather have said enterprise PC's and workstations are dead. It's clear to me that for normal users ( disclaimer, I work with HPSCs all day ) mobile will become the compute

Airtime does not solve a problem today. It is wayyy to ahead of its time. When we are all in automated cars and have more discretionary time. Services like airtime will be successful. Right now we're too busy to invest the time in a prod

I predict that we will have to legislate Driverless as the default state of all vehicles within the coming decade. why? because at greater than 10% penetration of automated vehicles, those people still in 'manual' mode will become more and

Apple lost this particular battle ( mobile search ) the day Google bought Android. OSM is cool as we know, but it was not deployed until now, and the reaction is epic. Apple will fight the good fight like bing is doing in web search, but

I disagree. I've modeled it. If 500+ of these cars go from SF to LA on a weekend, it's going to be utter chaos. One pump at one service station servicing 500+ cars is barely a win on the SF to LA route for gasoline, so it's beyond incredu

I really enjoy this article and hope tesla succeeds, but I am always turned off by plug-in EVs. Say for example, he does achieve 30 minutes charging for 3 hours driving. And say I drive from SF to LA. after about 3 hours, there is this one

I think that traditional topographic mapping is not very useful from a business standpoint. When there are more, or a critical number of the autonomous vehicles from Google deployed in the wild, I fully expect very high resolution 3D maps

I've always thought that the real money in mobile comes from very accurate map data, and very accurate personal position data. that way when you're walking around town, you can 'ask' your phone for directions to eat/shop/whatever, and it c

That is a very serious claim. Do you have any data/evidence to support this, or is it all strongly worded opinion? If that were actually true, it would be grounds for regulatory action under the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890. Many compan

What was old is new again. All this has happened before, and all this will happen again. Apple, Google, and Microsoft are the new "Big Three" ( Ford, GM, Chrysler ).

I actually expect major pushback to automated cars for just this reason. and suspect that ultimately we will have to legislate that all cars be automated.

You should build them. Why wait for a SuperMicro to get into the fray, when you could do it yourself.

I'm actually curious whether all these startups are linked, like through the same incubator or something. If so, clever strategy for getting press, esp. on HN.

I thought it was very telling that out of the 136 companies surveyed, only 2 had a payment system. Speaks volumes about the sort of companies YC is trying to incubate/build.

I found searching minus the top 10k websites to be most effective for finding new stuff. It seems that after that point, a lot of the 'crap SEO' stuff is gone. One problem, the sort of baby with the bath water issue, is that the quality o

I really like dwolla, but I think this particular innovation should have been implemented differently. Instead of giving this product away for free to banks, et al. It should have been release open source for everyone to use for free, with

I think this is the exact definition of a bubble. The phenomenon of runaway demand by a 'new class' of investors/investments has always been the hallmark of bubbles. 1920s a real national stock market with almost instant communication, now

Yeah I'm pretty excited when DDG gets to a point where they can start hiring the engineers to build a crawler/indexer, that way they can really start to kickass. As an aside, I still use blekko everyday, and they obliterate google and bing

by guimarin 15y ago
I think you're getting ahead of yourself here. DDG has 0.1% of all search traffic ( 30m out of 23b queries per month ). They get all of their 'relevancy' from bing, and blekko. The reason you like them is because they clean up these result

by guimarin 15y ago
No surprise there. I wonder if all the faux search engines will have to start either crawling/indexing, or transition to Knowledge Engines ( I'm looking at you DDG ). Curious to see if this sparks people to start more search companies.

I don't assume to know what anyone thinks regardless of whether they are a man or a woman. I do know that belittling people and playing 'white man's burden' on them makes them feel disadvantaged and marginalized. I see that behavior coming

by guimarin 15y ago
Yes, but that's not the point. The point is this comment while seeming innocent is an absurd rationalization for the behavior linked to in this post.

I think it's great to look into why your organization doesn't have more women represented across its divisions. I even think outreach in the form of awareness about this 'problem' is great. I dislike the implicit message being sent by off
