On the face this seems ridiculous. It's a big stretch, but we do know that some US adversaries use portable media (usually thumb drives) to currior data. Maybe they had a target that was using floppies? Maybe Iran's centrifuges or

While this is generally true, it's a little more nuanced. For example: Android has a larger market share (by a lot globally), but apps are frequently developed for iOS first. Why? Because it's easier. Device fragmentation plays a

Pretty strong opinion, but if you took an honest look at the Surface Pro 4 vs an iPad Pro, you might find that Apple is making a device that can't fulfill its promises. I am sure Apple has some great master plan that we haven't se

As a co-founder of a startup with no coastal ties will this help me at all? I don't mean to be overly negative, but this is sounds like an echo chamber. It's probably great to maximize a decently connected fundraising effort. Mayb

That's true, but Facebook knows the real names, and that targeting technology could just as easily point to religious / political affiliations and personal experiences. FBI (via NSL): "Hey FB, show me all the posts from right

Some vaccines are given at birth at many others by two months and still others at 4 months (in the US). I am not aware of any test that can work that early. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/hcp/imz/

I didn't say anything about lobbyists. I do have an issue with supposedly unbiased experts being on a private payroll without full disclosure all-around. Would you be okay with a NY Times reporter getting funding for a story from Mons

OK, it seems like they have committed to Xamarin Studio renamed now to 'Visual Studio for Mac'. Doesn't make sense to me with the parallel effort building the cross platform IDE 'Visual Studio Code'. Thanks for th

It's been a while, but I've had good luck using the "Bindings Library" project type to wrap native Java Libs. Sometimes I would have to build an intermediate Android project (using Eclipse or android studio) to proxy the

Xamarin compiles through XCode, so having Mac somewhere is a requirement. Any platform that compiles for iOS would have this same issue. I think the MS is pushing Xamarin Forms because it could eventually become a more direct competitor to

It looks to me that Xamarin would like sunset Xamarin Studio. This was easy on Windows with Visual Studio, but on macOS I think they are waiting for the VS Code (or whatever it ends up being) to be mature enough.

I am sure Google is looking at WaveNet & TPUs, I was just thinking Amazon would look at using its new massive FPGAs to implement WaveNet. I have no idea if the FPGAs would be fast enough.

There's a lot of negative reaction to Polly. Besides WaveNet (which is not available as an API-- and really slow), what are better alternatives? Or is the reaction just to Amazon's marketing speak using "lifelike" and &q

I assume there are a large number of private schools in the US that are for-profit and doing well. The key is scale and the desire to change the education system. I don't fault the startups for aligning with top colleges. The big names

Right. What's interesting here (in Indiana -- and probably a lot of states) is that you can't get state ID without proof of being a US Citizen or proper immigration status. So, asking for a state id is the equivalent of asking abo
