I think most people running start-ups are not anywhere near as talented or insightful as they are portrayed, in fact I think some of them are super insecure and have to portray themselves as "thought leaders." This leads to a situ

I actually think it's worse than your examples, one could argue that the harm caused in those instances are because of recklessness. In this case the person intended to inflict harm on another specific person.

To be quite clear: YES. Let's go over what the attacker did (and note, I'm not even going to touch the anti-semitism component). They demonstrated premeditation, this appeared to be a second attempt at a prior failed attack. The i

There are a number of potential ways to mitigate this type of attack, what concerns me more is the person/people that do this.

Wow, this is equivalent to sending someone a mail "bomb" that doesn't explode but electrocutes them severely. I hope the offender ends up with a reasonable length prison sentence. There's a clear line, and the intention

Yahoo lost $650 million last quarter, why do you think anyone would take the deal in the first place?

Sure thing! Imagine if I had two friends, Google and Yahoo. Both are asking me if they can borrow a dollar. Over the last few years when Google borrows a dollar it gives back an extra 3.5 cents the next year as a thank you. On the opposit

Normally I try to give the benefit of the doubt, when the plan was just to use the funds for the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative it was an acceptable decision to me as presumably Mark's desire for the CZI to succeed would mitigate his risk

I'd argue it depends on the methodology by which they're implementing the technology. They could be using the directionality to amplify the "target" signal and identify the signals that the wearer desires to mute and th

In my mind it's a question of what the purpose of college is, implicitly there's two sides to the argument: One enters college to better themselves and for the purpose of a collaborative education. One enters college to improve th

Any time I see a domniondatalab.com article I discount it severely. Historically they've been less useful and more biased towards selling their services. Just because it's a company's blog doesn't make the info bad, my

Ten years ago I was in a set of lectures by one of the ITER consultants. There were a handful of challenges left (e.g. material degradation after long-term neutron bombardment) but it wasn't science fiction then. The only question was

I'd call it an "intelligent continuation" rather than shameless knock-off. Apples to Apples targets innuendo for a family setting, CAH is a very adult game.

Look into the company's history, I'd be shocked if it was anything other than what they said it was.

I agree that in a perfectly egalitarian existence that would be an ideal. More pragmatically, in the world in which we live, under what precedent could such a thing happen? Facebook has a market cap of $350B right now and the controlling i

Which country and using what precedent? The only country that could feasibly nationalize Facebook is the US (because of it's location), and the word "nationalization" in the US is associated with the drivers for a 35 year col

Depends on the employer, my big co handles it opaquely so I'd have to get a new one at a new company.

I feel like the frequency of the "scientific breakthrough" headlines that led to nothing has muted my enthusiasm for remarkable findings like this. There is a huge difference between the NIH announcing a finding and the sensationa

Something like a forced check if it's a linux file, open in read-only, save in dynamically created relevant windows directory so it's easy to find when you're on linux. You're right, it should be easy.

What I've wanted for a while was a curated news source that allowed me to collapse topics (e.g. only one story about the presidential race per day). The goal would be to present both "perspectives" as well as identify the co

The title has been changed, the original post didn't reference CloudSort and I'm not sure if it included Apache Spark either. It was something along the lines of "New record, 1TB at $1.44" Hence my confusion.
