Amazon will take down product pages that violate patents--not sure how quickly, but I've seen people complain about it in the FBA reddit forums.

With all the layoffs across the telecom equipment industry, Huawei should be able to get a ton of highly qualified/knowledgeable engineers in Europe, Japan and the US full of trade secrets.

I don't understand how do people just leave servers with open access. Don't you have to manually set them up to be unprotected and accessible that way? Edit: missed a word

That's insane! $349 I could buy like 10 pairs at any other online store with the upgraded coating.

I've used firmoo, zenni and warby parker. Warby parker is more on the expensive end but they have a store nearby and are still cheaper than a normal optical store.

One of my co-workers always had a new pair of well fitted glasses on every week, and I found out she was buying them online for like $20-$40 a pair. At first I was apprehensive about the fit and quality of the glasses, but after buying a f

The "Hang the DJ" episode is sort of along those lines where your AI's pretend date in a virtual world and give a result back in an app.

I wouldn't be surprised that an AI would be good at StarCraft. If it's allowed to have high constant APM, an AI could do micro maneuvers that most people can't reasonably do like consistent unit splits and fixing any weird u

A parallel team just hired a contractor that said they knew SQL, Access, VBA, etc. I've been training them and they were mad struggling to write a left join during training; I am 100% for making people write simple SQL to prove it. Th

Total med school enrollment is constrained by the number of residencies and supposedly the AMA. Meanwhile, the numbers of grads for other health professionals (Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants) that can fill some of the same ro

The starting salaries for bootcamp grads aren't really much to write home about ($50k-$70k) except at a few select bootcamps; plus a fairly significant fraction of the grads don't seem to get jobs from some of these places. A bunc

I used it for several months and tracked the prices, and with delivery and the box fee it's about the same price as the grocery store except that you have limited choices and they tend to cycle between the same things. Most of the veg

But there's a balance between maximizing sales with more safety stock and minimizing waste with less, because of uneven demand fluctuations.

I think it's interesting that they're trying to get non-technical people who would fall for this kind of thing to buy bitcoins and then send them. Like the number of people who would believe this, have a thousand dollars on hand,

I think part of the reason that China seems so scary is that they're way less developed than Japan was comparatively to the US in the 1980s. So if China's already threatening at 13% per capita American GDP, imagine what they'

Most people take feedback very poorly, so if you do provide someone with reason on why they weren't qualified they may read it in a very negative light. Saying something polite like "you're over qualified" might be read

My parents have a basement overflowing of stuff that is full of potential utility, so I think that the joy aspect is to provide a different view point so people let go more easily.

Yeah, from the netflix series it's more like you have to touch everything of the same category and then compare how you feel.

Googlers seem to have leaky lips, so I figure if they do something shady one of them is going to go to the press.

Yup, he spent $6b in stock buybacks and raided the company for assets. Not saying anyone could have saved the company, but with $6b someone could have given it a real shot.

Some of that may be just from people preferring to go to a school that isn't that far from home, or to attend the school of their favorite college football team. UGA and GA Tech are solidly ranked schools and a lot of graduates from th

The services business includes the app store fees like the one that Netflix is getting out of, so that revenue stream might have some challenges of it's own.

They probably didn't have a whole lot of buffer when they retired, so having a drop of half right when they start to use the money could cause their fund to become unsustainable. Plus a lot of older people tend to rebalance towards bon

Interesting that you bring up Sears and Kmart, considering they are mostly owned by a PE firm that did almost the exact same thing as Sun did to Marsh; lease-backs, selling off divisions/brands, pension under funding, etc.

It's pretty understandable, imo. My income would not scale upwards very much if I moved from Chicago to somewhere higher cost like NYC, DC, or SF, and if I were to go to those places a lot of my current extra income would be wiped out.
