I can’t find anything even close to “moderate success” for the KeyOne. Most of the articles I pulled up describe awful sales although Blackberry had an optimistic outlook. Most outlets citing sales numbers say that Blackberry only managed t

There are absolutely people who work on something for 21 years (++) even though they don’t like it. It’s harder to say no to the incredible amounts of cash and promises of future fulfillment. Although I’d hate to insinuate this is what Rubi

I use Google services for all my domain-connected stuff via Gsuite; that includes Hangouts, Google Drive, Gmail, Google Docs, Google Contacts. On a whim I decided to transfer in the domain. I also use Google Domains, now, to register domain

I read just recently that one of Foursquares biggest revenue slices is selling their users check in data to hedge funds. On a previous HN post, one commenter claimed the app Robinhood sells their order flow through clearing houses, which th

The domain did expire, though I was never made aware of the upcoming expiration. My assumption is that there was some glitch between Namecheap, Google, and the .co domain authority... but I still don’t know exactly how my domain expired so

The timing of this is an amazing coincidence — I recently “lost” my domain in the same way. I bought it originally on Namecheap but have since transferred all my domains into a singular Google Domains account. My main domain, where I have m

TDA is a fine broker and the fees are negotiable. I’ve seen active traders get their fees knocked down lower than Schwab or Fidelity, and their Thinkorswim platform is fantastic for trends and analytics... IB is of course a great broker as

Doesn't Google have a history of being unsuccessful at supply chain? Their Motorola acquisition was a failure on the production side (though some would say a net win on the patent and IP side). Instead of using their tech for supply ch

I think something to note in parallel to this article is that today $FB is up 10%, and over the past month as almost completely recouped it's recent "privacy-related" drop. From a year ago Facebook indicated it was still gain

I still quite like going to a theater, the experience is much different than watching a movie at home. In a theater I am much more focused on the film being shown, the screen is large and crisp, the speakers overwhelm – it's much more

EPS was inflated due to new accounting practices. Actual is around $9.93 or therabouts – I believe it was inflated due to $GOOG finally disclosing their myriad investments, with the leader being Uber.

I agree. I have trouble visualizing what an "Alexa-bot" could do that a multi-room speaker + mic system couldn't do unless this thing has a Roomba attached to it's butt and gopher grabbers for arms, which I highly doub

This is a form of ICO awareness accelerationism. I'm very cynical about ICO's, so this may be brash, but I automatically consider every ICO to be a scam outright – if they were all this obvious the world would be a much better pla

There was a statement by Senator Sullivan that I found revelatory, if not surprising; he talked about how almost every single lobbyist in D.C. is involved in the Facebook scandal in one way or another. I had never really considered the fact

This one can’t be a shocker. I even had to open my Amazon app to see if it existed for me, and sure enough it’s tucked way down at the bottom of the left side menu. Definitely odd to shove a weird pseudo-social marketing feed into my shoppi

App.net was something I loved paying for, though. It came with a block of cloud storage, an ad free social network, an API for devs to build on top of... those three ingredients alone were fertile ground for developers to make some very eng

The biggest group of victims here is most probably those with Amazon devices that have Gapps sideloaded. Are there any other large segments this would affect, seeing has how custom ROM users are (for now) spared?

And with Peter Thiel being a Trump supporter, even giving a speech on stage at the RNC in praise of Trump, it would be crazy to think that Palantir's involvement isn't of similar (if not much greater) scale as Cambridge Analytica.
