I was reading the interview with Jimmy Iovine today and everything he said about curation rang true to me, but when I listen to Radio One, it's too much Top 40 and talking about the music. I love Spotify because it's just the musi

I don't know if you're quoting or referencing something, but that's fantastic.

Indeed, that is the most salient point. I like your suggestion of looking at many attribution models to assess true performance. This seems especially relevant in larger organizations where there is an incentive to game the budgeting proces

Isn't that an argument for assessment on a campaign basis? I'm still wrapping my head around his calculations. It looked like he included the cost of the ads prior to the reporting window in his multi-touch model. That's a fa

For your first part, immigrants displacing jobs is a news story pretty much anytime it's not western European. These stories are common place with Hispanics, eastern Euros, Middle Easterners, Africans, etc. The difference here is the p

That's some awesome data, thanks for sharing! I have to imagine geo matters here too. China, Latin America, and Africa have huge Android growth (though even then a huge chunk must be AOSP) but I would guess it's mostly older OS ve

I would hope this to be correct, but I didn't see Google address it at all. A lack of transparency is a great way to foster FUD and a bad perception of what could be a great piece of tech. I get that they're building the marketing

I am curious if this will be a source of friction with app developers. If Google is scraping app data usage for both content and context ostensibly to extend the benefit of that app's data and utility, wouldn't that make it consid

I've done the exact same thing for the exact same reasons. Hurray for social validation.

I imagine the insight would reveal the disparity in the commitment to the area versus the "gold rush" aspects of the Bay Area. It has many implications on the housing market, corporate recruiting, local politics, and infrastructur

I think there's something to being a soldier and obviously masculinity that is universal. I would argue the American military experience - especially the modern American military - is fundamentally different from those that preceded i

Yeah, the whole article, subject matter, and journey he explores is American. It's investigative at its best in that it explores why people make these decisions, and their decisions are strongly rooted in the ever-changing American soc

It could be a callous viewpoint, but intent certainly matters. Just going to war to use your training is wholly callous. But take any of the recent genocides (Rwanda) or even ISIS - innocent people are unquestionably being killed. A soldier

Unless this some academic joke flying over my head, the author's contact info is listed as "firstname.lastname@oxford-biochron.com". This report seems hastily thrown together, but that doesn't necessarily invalidate the

I think the President's proposal specifically omitted that too. The larger point made in the article about general misunderstanding of the implications of net neutrality seems accurate but may prove specious. My fear is its a bet on ol

Just curious, what's your objection to Javascript in this capacity?

I would disagree with your comments about finding options that have public support. Consider net neutrality. Who in the broad public outside those companies is in favor of the telecom companies extracting a toll from the content networks? Y

Exactly Jevon's Paradox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox It has all sorts of implications for life/work, where it could open up options for smaller towns; however, the problem becomes one of effic
