They were absolutely moonshots. Reforming the entire way we do realtime communications? Reforming the entire way we do social interaction? Total moonshots, they just failed, but if they succeeded they would be billion dollar businesses. BTW

Is this purely a function of sharding liability across a conglomerate of businesses? It seems like concentrating Google's ad revenue in a smaller, more efficient business unit is a nod to Berkshire Hathaway's method of business. I

This is quite a thing. Does anyone know how they're achieving the 10gbps data rate? I'm wondering if they're doing something like vortex beam forming... http://www.gizmag.com/twisted-light-beam-data-transmissi

I think you should expand your view. You are only taking into account the service aspects of the business and not supply chain or other very important details (like location). All businesses have secrets and they matter. The cheaper/fa

Would you say that Uber is less or more information asymmetric than the taxi companies?

Advertising is the worst model, except for all the rest of them. Charging for things, in and of itself, is hard and, on some level, facetious. If all knowledge were known, why would you pay anyone to do anything? It's not clear to me w

Thank you for the correction! It is appreciated. I am firmly in the camp that wants additional information dissemination, but I am also in the business of understanding why this is hard. I do see knowledge as one of the few universal equali

Does Aurora do anything other than detect a heartbeat failure, shoot the node in the head and bring it up on another box WRT failover?

I find comments like this to be sorta akin to putting your fingers in your ears and screaming "lalalalala I can't hear you!". Whenever people say "free" in the context of information exchange, my belief is that they

Can't stop, won't stop. Uber continues to amaze me with their incredibly skillful political maneuvering. They seem to have roadblocks thrown in their way at every turn and they manage to just keep trucking. Heads down, eyes on the

Yes. The original computers were women in warehouses calculating actuary tables. They had a set of criteria to perform evaluations of numbers. In short, you can reduce a subset of the human experience to algorithmic emulation, which, in eff

The title of this article would suggest that there is a delta between where we are now and where we are after the bill. Is there a material difference in the way NSA will behave after the bill? Are surveillance powers any weaker if they can

The fallout from that memo was instantaneous and widespread. I worked in wireless at the time and everyone I knew at all of the carriers began to pull Nokia inventory. This was not true in many markets. Even if the burning platform concept

Nokia was delusional internally, but can you really make an argument that what they did was reasonable? Is there any world where it was better for them to choose Windows over Android? That only happened because of Elop's previous Micro

Two words: burning platform. http://communities-dominate.blogs.com/brands/2012/06/the-fin... There was just no reason to write a memo like that. It destroyed their business, almost singlehandedly, and no, I&#

So the overall goal is to reduce the footprint of each users machine/application as much as possible within a larger aggregated pool of resources. I see Unikernel as one potential way of reducing the amount storage/memory each use

I mean, it's not decades away... If you want < 10ms ping, you need to: 1) Be within 10ms of target datacenter (1,860 miles roughly) 2) rip out the TCP/IP handlers in all of the hardware along the route and replace with highly o

At terminal we're attempting to deliver a VMWare-like experience without a hypervisor. The only way to do this that I know of is containers without a hypervisor[0]. I think it works pretty well, check it out at terminal.com if you&#x27
