SSL should never have been taken as the only requirement for making http communications secure. IMHO, once you send off any piece of information (your personal data, files, photos, videos, etc), you can never know where they end up unless y

According to one article on a credible blog, 80% of government and bank data is still stored in IBM DB2 and served through banking and and business apps written in COBOL and running on IBM Mainframes. If this is true, can we safely assume t

You're talking about people who're super bright, sparkling resume and in a fortune-100 company but stuck in their job and wanting to make the move. Sure, taking the plunge is necessary but not enough on its own. There has to be so

Searchable photo albums OR Google Image search for personal photos. Basically a way to organize photos into searchable tags which are context aware and auto-generated. This way, I will not have to browse through tons of photos to find the o

You know what would be cool? Add context to the photos yourself to make them searchable. This can be done by auto-tagging all photos so if I have a large album, I would be able to search where there's "garden" in the picture

I haven't yet given it a spin but it won't be fair to call it just syntactic sugar. The value it provides, besides a little easier to write syntax is abstracting kernel level code. You don't need to specify block/grid si

We have gone leaps and bounds since we started building an "artificial brain". Look at where deep learning is leading to. Ofcourse, we can't mimic the brain in all its majesty anytime soon but short of that, there's so m

My 2 cents: The element of trust is primary for any financial transaction. There's a reason why eBay Amazon et al employ thousands for conflict resolution b/w buyers and sellers. I wouldn't mind going on SilkRoad for acquirin

So you're arguing that once a startup is beyond a certain number of users (considered a success), it should share that with it's competitors because that would just be fair? I know it's a bit cold but it was because of the co

Once a startup is beyond the "critical mass" of users, it goes on to erect barriers to entry for new comers. But since it's a free market (sort of), competitors are equally welcome to get in and take their share of the pie. B

Looks like something I may use but financial transactions have never been social. If I have to send someone money (friend or someone I owe), I'll use PayPal or something which they can recognize. With bitcoin, a lot of people want to &

After the rise of "social" coding ala Github, it's now a lot easier to vet a candidate for a development job. PhD is only useful if the core product has a considerable overlap with your PhD thesis. A graduate degree doesn&#x2

Come to think of it -- humans can't memorize all the number plates they see. Machines can. It's the "recording" of these images (though there for everyone to see) which takes us into the gray area.

Eventually, our new found love for collecting lots and lots of data about everyone and everything would come back to haunt us, making some billionaires and a vast majority living under surveillance. Sketchy but probable.
