A thought: When prodcuts go "white label", it's often because the company (or supplier) behind them wants the benefit of the sales without the hit to the brand. So my guess is that they struck a deal with either a particular

I'm kind of surprised and amused that the NBA expansion team chose the name of a surfing location in Northern California (1961): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mavericks_(location) ;)

Interesting development (if it's true - as we all learn, deals have a way if changing a LOT at the last minute). I'd thought a FB acquisition would have been very important for FB -- it would have given them user-provided location

Unless I'm missing something, this is a direct competitor to Evernote, yes? I think I get it - Evernote has always been a bit of a mess IMHO and while it's the best of what existed, it seemed overly complicated and cluttered. This appears

IANAL (I am not a Legislator), but it seems to me that the primary concern from the city/state side of things is that housing is in short supply in NYC for NYC residents. AirBNB "pros" buy up yearly leases for $x and then sublease them out

There are very few times when I feel acutely like "we're living in the future". Reading this headline, however, is one of them :)

I'm not an active user or part of the SEOmoz/moz community, so perhaps my perspective is off (or perhaps it's better) but... I think this is a bad move. Like it or not, I know what SEOmoz is immediately. I've known what it was for years. It

Interesting move -- feels like this is a natural response to the not-so-sudden realization by "normal" folks that you can get a BIG multiple on $/sqft as a data center over a more traditional tenant. A parking lot is better than an empty lo

Few things that should be pointed out here: 1) First off, most uses in the city have always been against the rules -- it's been a known issue. 2) from TFA: "this law is only actionable as a secondary offense. For example, if the police s

Totally agreed with your sentiment. The reality the tech industry is facing at the moment is this, however -- there are three things people are building these days: 1. Businesses. 2. Products. 3. Features. You're absolutely right. If yo

Very very cool. I like their approach toward file management -- "we'll get the multi-user data into a buffer; you deal with it from there." And now, of course, I'm wishing I had this before I switched my primary editor to SublimeText ;) An

As a still-learning programmer, can someone point me towards the ELIF (Explain Like I'm Five) version of this? Some of the first questions that enter my mind after reading this intro -- Why is this relevant? Why do we as programmers want

Interesting read and I like the concept, but I think the 4-letter rule added an arbitrary constraint that didn't necessarily make it easier to read or understand. If the idea was "explain relativity simply" then it could have been done bett

This is an _extremely_ good and clear explanation. Thank you! Every time a new question popped into my head you answered it in the next sentence.

It was odd indeed. And I checked to see which account I was logged in under, and it wasn't my "normal" account. So I switched to my Gmail/Google+ account and re-clicked, and then it said "you've already requested an invite." Odd.

I think the implication is not that future AIs -should- have sentience, it's that they -will- have sentience as a byproduct of their advancement. So the issue is how we're going to deal with that byproduct.

Congrats! It's a huge sense of accomplishment, no? I did a similar thing around the same time ago -- started eating better (out with the Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast, in with the Greek Yogurt), started running, and lost 30 lbs in abo

I definitely think it can handle the volume, but what I don't know about is how large call centers work and what the software needs are. The thing about Asterisk is that it's more a framework than a final implementation - it can handle a l

I can't say whether they're the "best" or not, but I've used NameCheap for everything and have been extremely happy with them. Plenty of options, very good cost. The only time I didn't use them was a weird edge case recently where I needed

I know I'm not using the "new hotness" of PaaS startups, but my company runs entirely on a plain-vanilla Asterisk system that I first put together in 2004. And I know I sound like a techno-hipster here, but it's been so easy to deal with th

An old friend sufferes from a very similar problem, and it's basically been following him around his whole life (sadly, I don't think he's gotten past it even in his mid-30s). He gets _very_ excited about something. A new technology, a new

I love reading stories like this, especially with hyper-revolutionary products like Google Glass. Because the more people say "it will never succeed with consumers", the fewer people will go into Gold Rush mentality (at least for now), and

I may have been watching too much Homeland, but isn't wiretapping one of the main ways the intelligence community picks up on the "chatter" about large-scale terrorist attacks being planned? Didn't we find Bin Laden's Courier (and ultimate

Very interesting development. I presume when he refers to "deleting" he means something more like allowing a user to remove references to him/herself from, say, Google, which is effectively the same as removing from "the internet" (nerd an

So here's the thing - they're not actually that good. Let me preface this by saying that a) my perspective isn't a normal consumer one -- my business has put tens of thousands of miles on various Aston Martin models (we rent them) and b) t

Oh the list could go on forever. I'll do my best -- but first some questions: -- Where (generally) are you staying? Manhattan, Brooklyn, etc. And in which neighborhood? -- What are some of your interests? Are you a runner / cyclist / boxe

I wouldn't, but I can assure you there are lots of scientists on this planet who would care. Your examples involve creatures that we already know about and have interacted with and "integrated" into our lives (one way or another). But I sup
