We're building this at Publir and it's working nicely in early testing. Feel free to ping me if you are curious for the data.

As folks have mentioned, the evolution of the Top500 shows that "world's fastest supercomputer" is no longer an EE feat: it's an infrastructure feat, and not much of one, either. If you think the Chinese military is goin

Cofounder/owner of large political ad exchange here. Yes, the election is a major contributor. But not in the quarter Google is reporting on now.

Do you have a link for this? (I believe you, but I don't see it reflected in any of the VC DBs.)

It's difficult to escape the feeling that Nintendo is not exactly central to the success of Pokémon Go, and that the 7BB increase in market cap is. . . excessive. Fact is, this game is the work of a small VC-backed game shop in San Fra

I largely agree with your comment that talent doesn't come cheap. Software developers, venture investors, bank CEOs, &c. In the case of NPR staff, I question whether anyone else is bidding on their services.

NPR's last CEO, Gary Knell, made about $750K in his last year in the job. They have a number of highly paid mid-level people, such a diversity officer (Keith Woods) who makes $220K. More notable hosts make over the stated $300K, includ

This is absolutely crazy. What is earned is earned. And it is, in fact, distinctly possible that early employees at t(0), now gone, have done more to contribute to shareholder value than the subset employed at t(1).

This. Facebook is more interested in VR for sports, messaging, telepresence, news, ads, and entertainment media than it is for games. Downside of that strategy is that the Valve/Vive bloc could produce radically superior technology bec

Because we have the world's largest military and the world's reserve currency, and use these to balance global security so that postwar liberal democratic norms are protected. Freedom of speech is one of them. We are therefore the

Arbitrageurs bother me a lot. You're certainly about that. Unfortunately, a lot of bad behavior in ads is desired by every piece of the chain: adtech companies, exchanges, publishers, advertisers, and consumers who do not want to pay f

Coowner of one the larger premium ad exchanges here. I see a lot of folks concerned about clickbait. I genuinely think this concern is overblown. Clickbait articles service people who want them: people who are looking for quick payoff conte

Useful. Interestingly, starting a clean and blank new doc is notably faster from this page than from the Google Docs/Drive file listing page.

Very good point. They are very comparable. By far the biggest difference is degree of tax and regulation. Texas wins. Why doesn't California simply adopt sound Texas economics?

I subscribe to all the music services. I subscribed to Google Play because of the Songza concierge asset. One byproduct? It seems that Google Play's CDN and DRM handling, not to mention caching, is way superior to Spotify. Whether I am

"mistakes are often avoidable at little cost" Yes, absolutely. I do think my point holds, though–it is not axiomatic that it is indicative of bad care that medical mistakes are rising as a proportional cause of mortality.

As medicine advances and hospital care improves, wouldn't you ultimately arrive at a happy end where mistakes are , in fact, a leading cause of death? In the aggregate and over time, "mistake" is definitely a more desirable

Well, they could just use democratic participation to support, you know, low taxes and regulations across the board.

It's not even due to law; it's due to the founding nature of the Republic. Arguably not even a constitutional amendment could permit restrictions on Americans' interstate travel.
