I would have preferred to give 17 teams $10k rather than gamble $170k on these guys. The whole situation is a mess.

The original request was for $10,000 to cover their living expenses for 3 months. Now they have $170k, they really have no obligation to do anything with it other than support themselves for 3 months. So anything else is just gravy. Which i

It's literally the same room. It's not even a very large room; Klout is only 6 people. Also in the same room are Flowtown, Plancast, and Publitweet -- we're on the first floor of 795 Folsom, the same building as Twitter. If you're an engine

Congratulations guys! Our offices are in the same room as Klout, and they are good peeps.

Would it be unbecoming of me to suggest that some readers of this thread might be interested in visiting http://GayGeeks.org ? It is a not-for-profit side venture of mine.

I would argue that you can wrap up all those up by saying that they focus on the user experience, rather than on any of functionality, features, performance or price. And it turns out people like stuff that works easily, even if it doesn't

I strained my back a couple of years ago, causing a cascading pain reaction that locked up all the muscles in my back and resulted in a trip to the ER, pumping me full of muscle relaxants. The simple, best and most effective treatment has b

Lab animals that ate less meals per day, lived longer. I think you mean animals that consumed fewer calories. I don't recall seeing any research on how many "meals" that intake was divided into.

This doesn't address 0MQ's performance improvement claims, which I would have thought was the biggest thing the RabbitMQ guys would want to address.

This must surely be the final nail in RealPlayer's coffin. The BBC is the only service I can think of that's provided RealPlayer streams since about 2005. Does anybody know of any other big hold-outs?

A dataset is great if you want to analyze a large dataset (government data in particular lends itself to this). However, an API allows you to build an application around data that doesn't exist yet : not last year's best seller list, but n

Well, from 2014 it becomes mandatory to have insurance, for one thing. Although I don't see why anybody would want to in the first place.

Depending on your definition of "don't matter", that day is today: http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2010/0320/Health-care-... When Obama signs the bill, anybody with a pre-existing condition will be able to a (temporary) national ins

I don't think the absolute volume of searches will ever decline. However, as a percentage of attention, social surfacing of content will continue to grow. Take your Dining&Wine section example: that's what they did 3 years ago. But 10

Sit up and take note, kids: this is an early sign of a coming change in the tide of how we use the web. A shift from search to social surfacing for content discovery is under way. Google will surely fight back, and probably be back on top b

I think a better and more pro-active approach is to completely own one's past. My blog goes all the way back to shitty poetry I wrote and delusional statements of grandeur I made when I was 15. As far as I'm concerned, all they indicate is

The revelation that Buzz was produced by a team of 30 engineers and one product person, who only ever meet to give product demos, explains much about that launch. I'm not a mindless Google-basher. They have many brilliant products. But Buzz

Is there anything in this that has not been mentioned about Avatar by a hundred other commentators? I'm seeing: derivative plot, suspiciously human aliens, big plot hole surrounding the ending. Is there anything new here? I'm genuinely aski

Is that what happened? The plug for State Farm at the end makes me think they did an end-run around the label and got somebody else to pay for the video, thus the record company doesn't own the video and they can embed it? (But then they'd

You are right to say that the quality of the merchandise affects the brand of the store, and that's the problem with the App Store model: Apple has implicitly (and sometimes explicitly) taken responsibility for the quality and content of ap
