What if that default browser was IE and they're obviously trying to get people off of that because it's now legacy? Should they only change the default browser to edge if it was IE before? Doesn't seem fair to them...

Wow! Thanks

Good point. I have a surface and want to use IE 11 more because its touch screen friendly, however the back button performance is slow sometimes. Can be very frustrating, so I typically use Chrome. Hopefully Edge fixes that.

"I'm sure Google's next major Chrome update will show improvements over the Edge" What makes you so confident the next one will be faster if the current one is slower? Are you on the dev team?

Seems like a pretty hefty chunk to give up for $20K and the chance to be a guinea pig in an unproven startup incubator run by...a baseball team. I have no idea about the quality of RG/A's work, but we did share an office with them

When Andreesen talks about "tech funding", what do they mean by this? A lot of VC funding that used to go to "tech" companies is now going into much less profitable types of businesses that should not be considered &quot

What business that develops software can't afford $9 a month for an upgraded plan? The utility you get from this type of software far outweighs the cost. Who wants their wireframes to be public projects? Maybe if you're working on

No offense, but this tool seems pretty raw. Why announce it now? https://moqups.com is a great web based mockup app I have been using for a few years. It's very slick.

I had this same exact startup idea as well after having issues with customs brokers and all the stupid faxing, bond issues, freight issues, etc. Its incredibly archaic. I actually did try to use Flexport really early on for one shipment and

The .NET community is extremely large, perhaps you run in a small circle. A job search on indeed.com (a job listing consolidator) within 25 miles of my area, Santa Monica, CA reveals 2,477 jobs for .NET 2,083 jobs for Java 1,284 jobs for py

I guess the biggest functionality here is the ability to create repositories easier from within VS? Because Visual Studio already has very good integration with git. I probably only use git from the command line once every couple of months.

Azure is definitely behind in some regards particularly IaaS. That was not really their strategy for quite a while and it shows. We are using their PaaS now and really like it, much better experience than we had with stuff like elastic bean

Visual Studio Monaco is really the competitor to a product like this. It's a browser based version of Visual Studio that can be tied into other cloud services.

The real question proposed in this email remains. Has FB somehow discovered a way to make ads on mobile way more relevant and valuable than desktop? Because that's what props up their stock price. I would bet it's a lot more accid

I am surprised http://www.bimeanalytics.com/ is not on there. After doing a lot of research and seeing a lot of demos in self serve BI it seems like one of the best products out there. Their pricing is also a game changer.

Why not power your dashboards with it? What do you use? I am considering using a columnar data store (maybe redshift) with a BI tool like bimeanalytics.com specifically to do dashboards.

Optimizing the research.microsoft.com blog for heavy traffic is probably low on their priority list.

I've heard the name 42Floors many times over the years as they seem to get a lot of press for being a hot startup. For the first time, I just visited their website as I'm in the market for some office space. This product is pretty

He'll change his mind once he starts encountering more SVG (which is becoming increasingly popular). Firefox SVG performance is so bad compared to Chrome/Safari/IE. Some sites are unusable.

He told me this story around 2005. I would guess it may have been about 5-10 years prior to that. Could have been more as he was there for a long time.

Treehouse is actually in a very luxurious position right now. They've raised a bunch of VC and this is a fairly new niche they operate in and more and more of society is recognizing how valuable these skills are. They can work minimal

Doesn't surprise me. My old boss (a professor at Cal Tech) has a story of coming into his labs one afternoon when an assistant greeted him with "Oh, the Koreans came by to take the photos of the hardware." To which he replied

19.4% of Fortune 500 using Rackspace's cloud product sounds very high. How do you differentiate normal Rackspace customers from those using their cloud offering? I would assume they're all in the same data centers.

People patenting ideas they have no serious intention of ever building. The maximum effort they'll make is stopping someone else from doing it.

So this is why I said it depends upon your use case. We are an enterprise software company and there are probably less than 50 potential customers in our target market that could ever use the API. We are one of the only companies that actua

I think it depends upon the use cases of the API, but if you want someone to be able to build snappy and fast "apps" using your API rather than just facilitating movement of data in/out for an integration with another piece o
