Err, that's not true. In fact, the only reason they can charge for that OS is because they can keep it secure going forwards. It's not that Windows is being dropped, its more like MS realized that there is a lot more potential to

As I keep saying, your phone's notification center is what eventually kills Facebook News Feed and potentially Facebook itself.

Where do you list the vitamins that are included in the vial? Also, do you take into account genetic differences like MTHFR or vitamin absorption issues?

Interesting to see that Ford is investing in entire transportation stack at the same time. They are working on a self-driving car, ride sharing service AND a service to manage those rides efficiently for organizations. From my limited knowl

To put it in another perspective, US is so inefficient in using resources that they spend relatively more amount of money to get an almost equivalent or in someways inferior quality of life.

Most modern Indians don't have such a strong affinity to their caste but it still plays a role in their lives. Indians who moved to the US don't usually group based on their caste but in India it is still the case, especially in r

I second this. Forget fancy bells and whistles, this website is missing some very core and useful functionalities that aren't so hard to implement.

I guess I wasn't clear. I didn't mean that the people who are climbing are the ones who are asking govt to go search for them if them go missing. I am talking about people, who in general ask for liberty in such matters while also

Thanks for sharing this! I am pretty sure that I have ADHD but I was never diagnosed, nor did I ever try visiting a doctor for this purpose. As someone with relatively low access to healthcare, I am always concerned about taking any medicin

Good point. My point is that some people don't think about the consequences of what they are asking for, unless prompted for it, and they usually have ideas that are contradictory. Of course, your point still stands and I agree alterna

As someone with some mountaineering experience in North America, I am really surprised to hear that they ever allowed this in the first place. Of course, one could argue that govt shouldn't have any power over what an individual can do

Yeah, when the population is educated and has general awareness of technology, betting on ponzi schemes is up to them. When you have large, uneducated and poor population, letting people know of the risks is a decent thing to expect from a

I agree with your assessment about "Deep Work" but I still recommend folks to read it, just to reiterate what you probably already know. I think it helps us remind ourselves to focus on our life, when there are so many distraction

I think Apple would much rather buy an existing car company than build one from scratch. I don't see them leaving that market because there is a lot of money to be made and they want to be there everywhere in your life.

I think that's a very pessimistic view of the world. So far technology empowered as much as it destroyed individual liberties. There is still hope. With the upcoming decentralized technologies, I hope that the power returns to individu

I guess Microsoft is close behind and probably leading in the number of paying customers. However, a duopoly isn't that much better either. It's unfortunate that the spirit of the internet that resulted in many open technologies i

Just because python is slow doesn't necessarily mean that every library is also slow. With numpy/scipy, which are written in C with python bindings, scientific computation is pretty fast. Python is fast becoming standard language

It depends on what you consider as market in which Uber/Lyft operate. If it's entire personal transportation market, then one can think of them as in a zero-sum game with other players. I believe that the ride share market (even i

Subsidies are here to accomplish economies of scale. And when they have that scale, the cost of ride will also decrease dramatically (run buses instead of cars, electric cars/buses?), so my bet is that there will be an increase in pric

BTW, it doesn't make much sense for Google to sell this information anyway. They build vertical products on top of this information. If a third party wants identity verification, they can use Google account. If they want to sell ads, t
