I assume that the numbers quoted are more about the brains capacity at each level of engagement. I assume it would adjust for introvert/ extrovert. Like others here I would find maintaining the number of relationships at those number v

Given this, if you care strongly about these issues it is hard to vote for either of the 2 major parties anymore.

I got the impression that the people who cared about the real names policy was a pretty niche (although a quite active group) compared with the millions that the service really needed to attract to hit the mainstream and seriously compete h

I think it is very hard to have a social network that appeals to a limited subset but to have enough of any one collection of people to make communicating on there worth their time. Just have a look at Google+, millions of people gave that

Not surprised to see qwiki there. For all the hype around it I never thought that it would be successful. All it really seemed to do was make clumsy automated videos that took a lot away but really didn't add anything to just reading a

I would still call it history written by the winners. In the end the Christians had the cultural influence that runs all the way until today. If the Viking culture had been preserved into modern day I would expect that we would see them in

This is similar to the other metadata legislation where they neglected to provide an exact definition of what metadata is. Computer system I think could reasonably be though of as a local network. Whereas in [2] they are being more explicit

Amazing what you can do with almost limitless campaign funding. Hopefully on some issues they aid in voting the government down but it is really rolling the dice.

Yeah feels like it has been rammed through before there is any time for current situation that they have drummed up with the raids and terror level to die down. Between this and zero debate on whether Australia should be committing forces t

Has this ever been tested around digital goods? As long as you had some mechanism to ensure that it is only streamed by one person at a time per license purchased.

It seems way overpriced for something Valve would be interested in.

I don't get the economics of this. For example if you send more than 20 a month you get free pickup. In this scenario, with the example tshirt I would be paying $2.85 for you to pick it up, pack it with your own materials and cover shi

While Melbourne doesn't have any shortage of land to build out into it is getting very far away from the inner city. As long as you are happy to drive everywhere and can find a suburban job or are prepared to make long commutes there i

It depends what the contract is exactly. We all know the Oracle isn't some altruistic company who is going to take losses out of any kind of moral obligation.

Yeah, you have people giving a 5 for anything from a 2 to a 5 experience. Then you have people giving a 4 for anything but the most amazing ride they have ever been on.

Kind of like eBay buyer reviews. They are completely useless as the only person that will likely ever give a bad review is a small seller that has been completely jerked around and doesn't at all rely on ebay for income.

I don't think that is really a factor, nukes only really come into it if you have an irrational regime that would rather be destroyed themselves than outright lose.

And the Russia of today in relative terms is weaker than WW2 Germany militarily. The US is looking to disengage as much as possible from global conflicts. I think that they would be extremely reluctant to be pulled into a head on war agains

Isn't that almost the same as saying a VC funded company has no incentive to become profitable?

Seems like a weird attitude. Almost everyone with the resources to do so is going to want their app distributed as widely as possible across multiple platforms. Personally if I was at Apple I would be accepting that and trying my best to ma

I would actually put music in a similar class to biomed/ pharma. I think music is probably worse though, even with another 5 to 10 years to capital it is entirely possible that it could still be to early and fail. Music services right

Good for them to get some reward for providing a solid product and great service. I do worry though if we will be seeing the product rolled up into some kind of expensive enterprise offering from Marin, which would likely price out a lot of

Say what you want about how Google handles penalties but I think it is silly to suggest that Google has acted any differently in this case than to the vast majority of sites out there who receive penalties, but don't have friends in hi

Regarding eBay using Product Listing Ads, they already do this heavily, often to the point of being unfair (listing the same product say 5 times for 5 separate sellers on ebay) I think it will just hurt incremental sales, rather than them

It can be, what people describe it as though is it is the digital equivalent to going to for example a football game. There is going to be a lot of toxic statements/ yelling made there as well but overall it adds to the hype of the eve

From a quick look it is videos, not streaming? Also mobile only? It isn't really currently the same space.

Yeah, different countries/ providers really impacts peoples experience. On the whole it does seem to be better for more people now though.

If they do acquire Twitch I hope that they still let it run separately and just improve the back end (as while it has improved it still lags for a lot of people around the world). I worry if they tried to roll it into youtube that it would

It feels like he got someone who didn't understand the full implications of the issue. Or did understand but didn't understand why it would be such an issue. It seems the bigger the company the more likely that you will get a fron

It is unclear in that article where the Saudi Arabian government paid a fair market value in 1980 for ownership of the rest of the company?
