The problem is the claim that Intel reneged on commitments to sell these chips to other companies RSN instead of in 6 months, and it's not a capacity issue.

The big deal is the claim that companies that were promised access RSN to these chips will now have to wait ... 6 months, was it? It's the breaking the promise more than anything else that problematic, if the sources, presumably from t

Would the screwed companies that had been promised these chips immediately go to the public? And with Thanksgiving, I'm not sure there's been enough time for it to further leak out. On the other hand, it's a claim that Inte

Well, it says in part. News Corp is of course facing threats to its very existence, and Breitbart is certainly part of that threat.

Given the market caps of Google, Facebook, Apple et-al it makes me wonder why nobody has bought out Intel. They'd over time lose the ecosystem advantages that an independent Intel offers. They'd probably also lose a lot of mone

"Start With Great People" is wrong advice. If you knew who are great people you would be rich anyway. Totally disagree, especially since there can be great value in putting together a team of "great people", even if

Let me add my favorite book of war stories in finding product-market fit, reaching/educating users for whom the product is a sufficiently new thing they need that, in pursuing a business model that worked (do the numbers!), etc. This

The Art Of War: I LOVE this book, but again, not relevant on a day to day basis for most entrepreneurs. Eh, that depends on your ability to generalize some of its lessons to the world you live in, which I'm sure it beyond a lot of pe

I find it interesting that he slags The E-Myth , which is one of my highest recommended books, especially since he says " It’s about small business " which by definition pretty much all startups start as. I.e. the single most im

I really wonder about his criticism of The Innovator’s Dilemma . I'll certainly admit it applies to only a subset of startups, and it probably introduced the now totally ludicrous disruption meme, but the lesson with examples of comp

Atlas Shrugged is among my favorite books, but definitely nothing applicable to people building a business. Well, it does give you a number of "don't do this!" or "watch out for this sort of person" or development

For some reason, the alphabet seems to be extremely difficult to invent. You might be right, although the one known invention of it spread around pretty well, seeing as the Phoenicians primarily got around by sea. And I'm not sure i

More like acquiescing to Apple's demands that Google do that, and they did quite actively, but not at his/Google's initiation. Which doesn't change the crime that much. The greater point is that the CEO of a company w

Trump and Session's position (he's relevant since administrative reforms might well involve the DoJ, plus legal enforcement is all but totally lacking) is "Intel yes, Infosys no". So it that's what actually happens
