If anyone develops apps on closed platforms (iOS, Windows, OSX, etc) you will always be at the whim of said company's right to cull their platform. The solution? Stop sharecropping. Build on platforms that are open.

I wonder if China has the same level of waste that NASA does. Elon Musk is making great strides in space exploration because he is willing to embrace new technologies and do the work in-house, as opposed to NASA's way of using only &qu

Whoah. I clicked on the Great Isaiah Scroll and look at the translators. I used to provide tech support for Peter Flint at Trinity. Sometimes as a tech I forget that I'm helping people do really cool things in the world.

I'd read the article, but apparently I've read my 10 NYT articles for the month. I'm sure there's a way around it, but I don't want to bother. THAT is why folks like Glenn Greenwald are the future, because they won&

Of course, many such benefits may not be realized until high [numbers of self-driving vehicles] are present Insurance will drive the adoption of self-driving vehicles. If you can buy a vehicle that statistically won't get in

This insight is huge: Had I been goal-oriented instead of system-oriented, I imagine I would have given up after the first several failures. It would have felt like banging my head against a brick wall. But being systems-oriente

That's kind of the idea, but I'm thinking something that send the message about 5th Estate being fiction as well, so watch this movie after you see this one. Sorry, IANA designer or a copy writer.
