I do not believe they need to prove a company is being anti-competitive. If that's the case, I would assume the majority of cost would be legwork in gathering evidence.

How is this not Anti-Competitive behavior? "If you go up against us, we will take away your users and thus your source of income." Seems cut and dry to me.

I think if a business is set up to scale by volume they can see gains from it. For example, say a business is already doing well at 100k conversions a day. They manage to apply "big data/ML" to optimize those conversions and

The thing I can't wrap my head around is how come Amazon does not have an API where I can pull my Kindle highlights. I know there are services out there like readwise.io but they require me to manually go in and "sync" things

It also abstracts away optimizations for doing operations. For example tolowercase on a large number of elements.

This one made me laugh. > The Apple-backed study has four major findings: > * Most app stores charge the same 30% cut on digital goods. Fairly certain that if another company tires to create an "app store" they get sued by A

There are going to be people making a lot of money by giving expert testimony for a living.

Who doesn’t think to use bigint for their auto incrementing IDs in Rails? This seems like it should be a non-negotiable for a company of scale such as GitHub.

They are really making it impossible to start a small SaaS product. People already don’t want to pay $4/mo. for even some of the most popular SaaS products. I’m afraid all this is going to do is cause these small SaaS businesses to run

All the indicator light tells you is that "you are being watched". Not sure that gives people peace of mind that they won't be watched.

I think the potential for dgraph is really awesome. After doing a survey of various graph databases, they seem to be well positioned for one that has the ability to scale horizontally. This is not something many of the others have. From wha

The story has been written up by lots of news outlets. Googling "brewery run by active gang members" should start to paint the picture.

Having worked on a dating app startup with a 2m seed (it's since pivoted to a brewery run by active gang members), I can say the problem of dating is looked at horribly wrong. People assume dating is about finding the person "most

This is awesome! I was just thinking that I needed to build something like this! I would gladly pay for this if it worked with Outlook (Office365).

Having been part of the Wilmington, NC startup ecosystem for some time at Untappd [1], I'm fairly certain that nCino is a spinoff of Live Oak Bank [2][3]. Also, another spinoff from Live Oak was Apiture [3][4]. [1] http://w

That's understandable. There's a large cost to doing cgo calls. Not to mention you get into a weird situation where the cgo calls take too long to execute and the Go scheduler/pacer can make things even worse by suspending ex

This is great! It always bugs me when I can't find an implementation of a paper to reference. I'm much more likely to read a paper if there is code associated with it.
