I'll give this a whirl but at a slower pace than one/day. Already feeling mild irritation towards the easter bunny.

The NFL is ahead of the curve here. Their streaming option for me as a non-US person is amazing. It's not cheap (250 Euro iirc) but it's also a ton better than normal games. Since I have no spoilers here as NFL results aren't

HFA in the WS might not be an advantage though. I'd argue it has actually been an advantage for the NL team if the AL team gets HFA in recent history because it helped their hitting. The last WS would be a good example.

Given the buying price is reported as 40 million, I think you could have run a very nice early adopter focused business in that range. No need to cross the chasm...focus on your real customers first. Battery life is a great selling point fo

I'd really like it if VC/incubators etc. would set up a donation system where they give X$ to projects that are used by their funded companies. I also wouldn't mind seeing an equivalent to the YC-nonprofit program specificall

The biggest problem is the lack of a certified laptop. Librem13 was certified for R3 but as of now there is nothing certified for R4 [0]. Their stance on Intel ME is clear and good. I hope they don't give it up or water it down with co

I'm not so sure about the implicit assumption that growth/phase change should be measured by head count. Sure you need some estimate but I do find the stage3 = 400 employees a bit strange. Especially given WhatsApp happened. I wou

I'd be interested in the results for std::qsort and std::sort for comparison.

Some of the reasons that he mentions for avoiding the standard library could also be mitigated by using another library like dietlibc (I played around with it back in the day, last release seems to be from 2013): https://www.fefe

Going back to Ludwik Fleck I'd argue that it makes a lot of sense for a thought collective to bridge the gap between the esoteric and exoteric circle more often. Social media seems like a natural choice in this day and age.

I also remember reports that 110 and 112 calls (German emergency numbers) were down for four hours in some county recently due to technical issues on DTs part. I never saw an explanation what the exact cause was. Fire services and police ha

Changelog and FLOSS weekly are the two I listen to occasionally. FLOSS weekly kind of varies and mostly depends on who they have on.

I have a very simple, possible naive use case (I'm bad at designing stuff and don't know much about that "world") that I struggled with last time I tried Unity. I imported from a variety of formats/tools...so maybe

I'd actually see it as validation of the technology they are working on. Hurts to lose people but Microsoft can refill research positions fairly well (anecdotally).

As a point of reference: Chinese investors bought 37 German companies in the first half of 2016 (39 in all of 2015)[0]. It's noteworthy that those investments tend to be with the idea of a long term engagement. Also interesting that so

I would like to see a game that tests the gold standard approach. Basically a novel economic simulator. The hard part would be building a fun enough game around it, I'm currently thinking some sort of sandbox game/MMORPG. Upon the

I find it only natural. The free-ish market is one of the greatest things about humankind. I find the complexity, information movements etc. highly fascinating. Trying to beat the market essentially means that you're very interested in

Makes me wonder why they don't just invest all the money under management in that fund. Edit: They are capped and take out profits...so I wonder if the cap is the magic or if they use better algorithms for their private fund (only natu

I think they are very good at taking things others more or less meddled in with little efford/interest in improvements and perfecting it (by applying a more software oriented approach). It's a doubly nice strategy as there's

As someone who doesn't own a car anymore I was fairly shocked recently at some of the stuff that you find in current BMWs. They do have a HUD-like navigation that's a windshield layover for example. I know they do quite a bit of H

My cynic takeaway: it seems like the concerns over falling ad revenues due to ad-blockers are exaggerated.

Anyone who has ever ventured into home brew OS development will probably tell you that it is fairly hard not to invent a FAT-like file system (file allocation table). I'm strongly against software patents, period but even if you think

"""Startups are defined by growth, but growth isn’t step one in building a great company.""" I'd argue it is. Building something people love is all about growth. If they love it, they'll talk about an

I also really like "How an Economy Grows and Why it Doesn't". There are some issues with it and you have to ignore the political stuff if you don't enjoy those but by and large I enjoy the simple explanation. Link to PDF

I wonder if this dominance of the home runs is a self fulfilling prophecy though. VCs want to back the home runs and thus they kind of force their entire portfolio into the procrustean bed of hyper growth strategies. Some of the busts might

Are there really no small ball (in the Moneyball sense) VCs? It seems like there could even be a market for taking the ok but never great companies off the hands of boom/bust mentality funds at fairly good conditions.

The article assumes an existing team which is a bit problematic when talking about time to market. If you start the analysis earlier (two people discussing some ideas in a coffee shop) then I'd argue that a language like Haskell can be
