   I got the email from them. It said "cease to function." And so, I wrote them to ask what that means. They hit me with a generic: Dear, Thank you for supporting our crowdfunding campaign for the Scanadu Scout® investigational devic

   Seconded. Don't use an AP system for distributed lock management. As with most things, use the right tool for the right job. When I speak to developers about Riak I tell them the biggest difference between systems like Riak (including

   Remember when Apple was like na, we're not gonna build that feature for you Uncle Sam cause then you and every other government will abuse it. They must have allowed China to backdoor the iPhone. Also, this is evil. Forget China and fo

   Yes, it's as close to a standard as you can get. It delineates a data model for certain types of medical data and their transport but it itself is not a database.

    I actually think the exact opposite. Obama's actions have clearly ended, or diminished at the least, Pax Americana. He's basically withdrawn completely from the Middle East enabling Russia to fill the vacuum. Obama's abandone

    If you are a blue collar worker in the rust belt who lost his or her job because your factory moved to Mexico or China, there was no way you were voting for Clinton. And here we are. The echo chamber of CNN, MSNBC, NYT, et al., is deafening

    Whether it is 5, 15 or 50 years hence, peak oil demand will surely come. Technological innovations will see to that. The question I have is what will that mean for all our friends in OPEC nations? Venezuela is in most estimates already a fa

    There's an old joke inside hospitals. Hospitals are where people go to die. Unfortunately, it's not a joke. Hospitals are the definition of asymmetric information warfare. You know nothing and they think they know everything. Ab

    People keep talking about Chinese everything. At the risk of being downvoted into oblivion let me ask you... would you use a Chinese email provider? Chinese Facebook clone? Chinese Twitter clone? I don't know about you, but I'd th

    This. I have no doubt one of the aforementioned suitors, or some other, will conveniently step forward and strike a deal with Twitter in the $20-30 per share range.

    Something I wrote a while back about this [0]. To summarize, it's not the lack of technology, rather it's the financial disincentivization of vendors and lack of leadership by providers. My proposed solution is government regulati

    1. Compute $/flop, see "cloud." 2. Tooling. Spark, Tensorflow, etc. 3. Policy. Folks who make decisions in hospitals are finally coming around to this whole "computer" thing. Slowly, to be sure. Eventually those who

    I don't appreciate the "cost of living" salary differential excuse, and let me tell you why... Ask yourself, does Microsoft charge me less for Windows or Office if I live in, say, Kansas? No, they don't.

    What this article and many of the comments fail to mention is the supply side of the conversation. If you drive south from San Fran to San Jose you can probably count all the building more than 10 stories along the way. This price spike is

    You do know that the public needs to seek out these public posts on twitter, ya? And if not twitter than snapchat, instagram or any number of others. Silencing ideas is not a winnable strategy. It just isn't. It completely absolves the
