What did you end up buying? Any regrets? I got something from cable matters but think it is faulty and cuts out on PD at times. I am looking for a replacement.

I am happy for LTSE. The article doesn't explains what makes LTSE different than NYSE? How will it actually encourage looking beyond the next quarter? Where can one learn about that?

Congrats to the GitPrime team. While the acquisition price is public, would love to learn more about revenue or # of customers. They must have had some serious revenue/traction to be bought for $170M.

One specific question is how does one resolve an issue? One option is to automatically revert back to a commit when an issue is discovered until a fix can be applied. Does anyone use this? If so, what is your team's SCM (i.e., git) wor

My guess: Not in a law-of-physics point of view, but I suppose, it is from the perspective of the entity that pays for the server. If you can push the computation to the end point, and simply spend fewer resources (let's say, 1000x few

A 10-year exercise window has to be extremely rare to the order of non-existing in SV startups. Maybe it's picking up stream since the article was written and I am not aware of it. Can an employee vouch for his/her employer (compa

Congratulations to the Wit.ai team. I was never a user, but when I checked them out, did think their offering showed great promise. I suppose the offer from Facebook must've been too good to say no.

Yeah, more sophisticated and challenging experiments can be had. However, as they say, reality is relative. If the tests they ran are "realistic" in the sense that most people use the systems in the same way they tested, then it&#

Thanks Justin. Ahh -- "observed instances of eventual consistency" as in "able to observe poorer than strong consistency". I was imagining it as able to eventually confirm _consistency_ . However, was dumbfounded by the

On the other side of the coin, there are index funds for fixed income too. That would be a better compare against hedge fund that primarily uses fixed income assets. (For hybrid hedge funds, there are hybrid index funds too.) Once again, th

Is it really irrelevant? How do you suppose one tell which hedge fund will do better and which won't beforehand? Past performance? We know that's not a good indicator. If you can tell which hedge funds will do better in the future
