A previous blog addressed a similar issue, about ISIS, with a very clear policy. It's worth the read. From Mr. Prince: "> What safeguards do you have in place to ensure that CloudFlare does not support illegal terrorist activit

I find it interesting that no one is discussing the fact that the DNC's leaks were damaging only because they were not operating impartially. Regardless if the leaks came from Russia or a whistleblower in the DNC, isn't the fallou

I thought the same thing, so I disabled f.lux and turned on Nightshift on Mac OS. To my surprise, nothing happened. It turns out that it doesn't work with my monitors for some reason. They are non-Apple and thus not supported. Back

"The value of 614K ETH has ranged from 92MM USD to 240MM USD in the last two months," As I see it that's irrelevant. Whats relevant is the value at the time of the investment. As of yesterday, they raised Ethereum that had

I expect it would prevent making changes that are not firmly based organic search quality; not changes that benefit Google's other businesses including advertising, maps, plus, etc. or political views.

Google adjusts its search results all the time for business reasons but also for political or legal reasons. The PC description is "tuning the search algorithm". That may encompass any number of effects to the search results or

I just don't see this technology ever going mainstream. I first deployed this type of application in 2003. It was named Redswoosh and did effectively the same thing as BitTorrent, just in a closed client. I was also a very early ado

I find "burn after reading" downloads for a number of reasons, but generally, they often don't work as intended. For example, modern email services (Google, MS, etc.) accessing links in emails and download the content and che

I couldn't make it through the whole thing. I understand Larry wanted to be specific but he seemed to be purposely obtuse on straight forward questions. Is this the way all depositions go?

It's a nice article that summarizes the current turmoil of Uber well if it's all accurate. I don't understand the need to make the article political thought with the references to Trump and Anthony Scaramucci, there's j

I agree with what you're saying about features, however, you're assuming that taking the $250m will muddy the product. I expect Slack has a plan for these funds, which was probably pitched to the investors. The plan was good enou

The IRS still defines cryptocurrency as a "product", not a security. [1] It is to be treated as such in your taxes. I think that's the best indicator of the state of affairs. They provided detailed guidelines and answer ma

I agree with you. I've started watching more CNBC rather than traditional news. They have a pretty good balance of political views filled with a good amount of tech.

I'm not sure why everyone is piling on Solidity. At the end of the day, bugs happen in all languages, to all programmers eventually, and if you want to point the finger, it has to be at Parity. If anything, it shows there needs to be

I don't think the problem is districts. Governance in the US works through compromise. The hyper-partisan environment is caused by bases pushing representatives apart and not allowing for understanding. To make matters worse, a tiny

I can't say I'm surprised. Removal of privacy is an ongoing process as we, as users, continue to trade privacy for convenience. After each milestone, we settle in to allow for the next. I don't see this changing, at the end

"I don't think the title is positive." The title of the post was changed. It used to read that they were patenting for the public good.

by redm 9y ago
The title sounds like Google is doing everyone a favor. From reading the thread on encode.ru it appears to me that Google is patenting it so that they have the patent, not for purely altruistic reasons. If it was for the public good, the p

It would be great if the "game" was really altered but I've heard that statement and hope many times over the last 10 years. While there has been some progress, patent trolling continues. Here's hoping...

I have a feeling all the ICO activity is what's depressing the price. My question is whether Ethereum can survive and grow before Bitcoin gets it together.

Sad story for the new hires. A couple of thoughts: Large companies fail too in much the same way so I'm not sure how much "startup" specific this is. Businesses that are struggling may continue operations as normal, including
