Coinbase reliability is so bad recently they would do better-telling people when they are fully functional because of thats the abnormal state. As a Coinbase user, I'd love to get away from Coinbase but I can't get them to even ac

In general, I'm glad Uber is getting their comeuppance, with all the shady things they've done, they are overdue. On a personal note, having worked for a period with Travis at RedSwoosh, I think he's getting the raw end of th

Co-founding a startup (or with multiple partners) is a very personal thing. People get emotional about it and there's almost always someone working harder, which causes discontent to grow over time. Eventually, you have to split or t

It's gotten far easier to telecommute in recent years and that keeps the productivity much higher than it used to be. My partners and I tried remote work back in 2007, even spending 10k to video conference with Marratech [1] (Google-o

When I look at these monoliths, I can't help but think about the fabled Sci-Fi Mega Corporations of the future that seem to be anything other than positive. [1] [2] [3] There are of course real life examples from the past.. [4][5][6] [

I suspect they assume it was an ex-admin probably because of timing. There may not be any proof to back up that claim and thus there may be no repercussions. Until they release specifics if ever, it's hard to know what to make of the

I've encountered many companies that are scared of lawsuits from bad references so responses, mandated by HR, are often limited to employment dates, and other very generic information. The mentality is, that person isn't our prob

That's all true, but in reality, we often count on the better nature of people, goodwill, for a proper break on both sides. If someone is planning a malicious exit, it can be very hard to stop them depending on how "integrated&quo

I use mostly Apple devices, iPhone, Mac Pro, Airport Extremes, Apple TV. I love the tight integration. For me, the choice isn't about price; it's about functionality. I desperately wanted to like iCloud, but Apple missed the mark

It's great to see this type of evolution in database performance, maybe this will become the standard someday. The only thing missing is that there isn't a comparable project for MySQL.

When the Washington Post has a Browser with 70%+ of the market and Facebook is the biggest advertiser on the web (they currently only advertise on their properties) then it will be balanced. As it stands, Google has a very unbalanced influ

I have the same problem but imagine the alternatives. One reason it's so bad the last 2 weeks is the volume. The US exchanges have been hammered. Week to verify my bank on Coinbase, a week to verify my ID on Gemini.

It's not trivial to get money into the cryptocurrency system as it is even with trusted companies like Coinbase. For it to come closer to ubiquity, it's going to need to be trusted companies to help money enter the market and for

This is precisely the problem with Google operating the dominant browser on the planet. They are always going to be accused of having a conflict of interest; the conversation itself is the problem. IMO, if Google's goal is to really i

I visited the Dreamworks DC in SOCAL back in 2005 and they had per rack isolation plates as you remember. They also had a 25' long tape drive on one huge isolation plate. Those plates basically are on a central piston and rotate in a

I think it's safe to say that the entire market is currently being driven by speculation. If it had a volatility index, it would be through the roof.

IPv4 is like any commodity. Now that it's not easily to get from ARIN, a market has sprung up around buying and selling it. It's still relatively easy to get IPv4 blocks for a buck or two per IP through auction houses.

I'm not sure there's much in the way of news here and I doubt there will be a bombshell in the term sheet. If there is, the real news will come when the terms are actually disclosed.

We have been sued by patent trolls at least seven times in the last ten years, all in Marshall, TX. We also sign onto the amicus brief for the TC Heartland case. This is a huge victory and what it means, in short, is that we won't get

You're so right but I think this problem has more to do with poor news reporting. For one, people like to read about companies they know, good or bad. Press releases always herald a feature as innovating even if competitors have it.

I think the key point here is not whether Google is abusing its effective monopoly willingly, its that it exists at all. There may be alternatives, but not viable ones. Try not supporting Chrome or ignoring Chrome requirements such as secu

Two primary reasons companies go public 1) cash out and 2) raise capital. I don't think Air BNB or Uber need money currently and I suspect they don't want the additional scrutiny/headaches an IPO brings to their businesses y
