"success requires moving to monetization through enterprise subscriptions, hardware gross margins, and advertising revenues" That's a big step for Microsoft. My opinion is that they are late on subscriptions and ad revenues.

Using this calculator https://alloscomp.com/bitcoin/calculator and using 575,000 Gh/s (is that right?) the calculator gets about $260k per month. With $60K for electricity and let's say $10k for misc. overh

good point. I was considering the comparison as resupply missions and (future) re-usability of the vehicle.

I've been super impressed with how efficient SpaceX is in getting launches into orbit. I did a visual comparison to the Space Shuttle program. It looks like SpaceX will overtake the Space Shuttle launch efficiency by the end of the y

Noticed that article writer is from Missouri. Down here in Texas we are in the plains but very dry conditions. While fescue is a good grass I don't recommend it for Texas. It might work with optimal soil conditions but in my experie

This is basically called Sharpening the Saw with 7 Habits http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Habits_of_Highly_Effe... I'm surprised at how often I go back to the book and see it applicable to my life.

Maybe we could use the lawyers from my divorce to figure this out.

It seems like this is a comparison of speed. Not a comparison of languages. Each language has their own pro's and con's. For instance, I use R on a daily basis. I don't require speed to do my job because I'm analyzin

you would think a Github like model would work. If the project is open source then its free but if you want to deploy an enterprise-wide or private product then you would pay the server costs.

My only question is if they have serious revenue then why do they need to a valuation? Is it the expenses or the expansion that is driving the value? I'm definitely interested to see how it proves out because I agree with you that th

These types of articles gloss over what the researchers are trying to perform. To say its a "car" is an exaggeration. They are basically piston engine prototype vehicles. They are testing the limits of piston engine fuel effici

I wonder how that lawyer ratio has changed over the years with members of U.S. Congress. I'm guessing not a whole lot. Is it me or is the trial lawyer lobby the most powerful in Washington, D.C.?

I wonder if the original framers of Constitutions around the world thought that one day the lawyers would ultimately rule public policy.

In my opinion I think the author did try to address the big picture. He brought it to his boss, and his boss's boss. If ideas are commodities worth trading then why was the market closed from the top down? This is a lesson in corpor

I don't use LinkedIn as a CV. I use LinkedIn to store and correspond with my professional network. Perhaps what you are referring to is that LinkedIn is ripe for a good competitor.

There definitely is a story. Here in Texas it's forbidden to sell cars directly to consumers and must through a dealer. The article does not mention how much of an impact the National Auto Dealers Association lobby group has on the i

I'm curious to those that downvote how they would address online fraud. It is a real problem with online commerce.

Card-Not-Present online commerce draws fraud and that is a reality that you need to address. There are methods to mitigate the losses from fraud. You could collect webserver, internet traffic data and credit card data to filter your signu
