This article is as bland as it gets. How does Jack Dorsey run both Twitter and Square? By managing his time. Of course, we know he manages time, which is the biggest constraint in accomplishing the task of managing two companies. How exactl

I believe logistics has become a weakness for Amazon. Other retailers seem to handle most of their warehousing and logistics on their own (?). Amazon reduced the need for warehousing but seemed to have become totally dependent on other comp

As a society, it seems like we are moving towards smaller and efficient businesses rather than a single monstrous business entity with many divisions taking care of everything in the world. Even big companies (seem to) find it efficient to

Actually, they need both. They are building a ML model that detects probable terrorists. You need to work on fine-turning the model as well as gather more data to improve classification accuracy. The question isn't which approach to ta

It's incredible how they can plan to create an entire industry by investing so much. It's slightly different from how India approaches such problems by forcing companies to manufacture stuff locally. I wonder what approach will wo

In a certain sense, govt is for the people, by the people, of the people, so I would look at it in a similar way as we look at other social obligations like wearing pants before walking on the streets or not smoking in public areas.

I used to work in a company involved in building CAE software and solvers. I can see value in what you seem to be doing but I couldn't figure out what. I should apologize that I didn't spend enough time but a short description wou

They seem to have renamed Kiva Systems, which Amazon bought for $775M in 2012, to Amazon Robotics. Relevant article - http://www.dcvelocity.com/articles/20150426-kiva-systems-to-... For those who don't know, Kiva

I am on a similar boat as you are with respect to the prospect of genomes revolutionizing health and the necessity and advantage of making it available openly (or at least to the researchers). Right now, most of the differences in humans te

I think it's a mistake to only look at margins. We should also look at economies of scale. In the future, as margins get lower, it is compensated by more customers. Also, whenever margins get lower, successful businesses tend to provid

I don't think what the author mentioned and what you implied are one and the same. From author's perspective, when you look at the actual price of fuel including the carbon emissions that they are causing, which cause expenses in

There are various forms of intelligence, most of which have a better chance of being excelled by AI. If reading inputs and detecting patterns in inputs to make sense of the world is what brain does, then AI can beat us hands down. Just the

I guess the people noted in the article are the ones who are either influencing those who engage in commerce with bitcoin, or those who are building tools and platforms to enable such commerce to take place. Either way, I am not sure bitcoi

If being able to interact with computer is modern age definition of literacy similar to how it was with reading a book, why is it a bad thing to be able to use someones apps? Isn't it same as reading books written by others? I do agree

I thought the idea behind .NET CLR was to make it easier to use whatever language makes sense for the problem without worrying about whether it can be integrated into the overall system. By making C# into a language for everything, MS isn&#

Just out of curiosity - could there be issues other than just performance here? For ex., could it be that Flash based ads can identify user/device contributing to privacy issues?

I am not sure I see the differentiation in design that is highlighted so much in this website. The phone looks pretty similar to Nokia (now Microsoft) Lumia's, and the UI doesn't look much more fancier either. Am I missing somethi

Well, an island only makes it really expensive for people to visit that place because there can only be so many people in that island. Making it an inland city will at least remove one constraint.

Would you guys be interested in an open magazine that curates content from several blogs to give you a general overview of hardware/software technology industry? Anyone interested in collaborating on that?

I like the idea. However, instead of using processing, it would be nice to use "activity" i.e., up votes, down votes, quality submissions and comments as the reputation. We already know what happens in a truly anonymous systems wi

I don't think any reputable company does recruitment based on names. In fact, most of the big name companies are trying to get more woman into workforce to balance any bias there might be.
