Also, not mentioned on that list is DJI, which is pretty dominant in the drone space, and it was only founded in 2006. I know it's not a software startup, but you'd be hard-pressed to say it's not a tech company.

I lived in Texas for a while and we had fire ants on our property every so often. One time I was taking out the trash, and a lone ant got on my hand, but was just wandering around aimlessly. I watched it for probably a full two minutes, and

I've been thinking about this a lot lately--I'd really love in-email applications, especially with Web Assembly working its way into viability. Being able to act on stuff without leaving my inbox would be fantastic. Unfortunately,

Does the irc bot you imported use websockets? I've been researching how to do a Twitch-plays game in Unity/C# and am thinking websockets to avoid rate limiting, but was wondering how much that'd do for latency, given it'

Especially now that (more often than not) you can attach Audible books to your Kindle books for a fairly trivial price, and whispersync for voice means you can hop back and forth between reading and listening. Now, any time I'm using m

Yep, it really explains the strangeness of men's interactions very cogently. It's nearly a year old, but it's stuck with me because it was so good. Also shows how repressed most of us are, that our way of figuring out how our

As soon as I saw the headline, I thought to myself "well yeah, Americans have also never been fatter," so the conclusion wasn't much of a surprise. Interesting that it's affecting men so much more. This isn't the on

I doubt it's much different. Sure, the content itself is more invisible, but social dynamics are probably a more important factor to spread. I know if I notice my wife engrossed in something on her phone or computer, I'm gonna ask

Thanks for saying this--too often people hand-wave away others' problems though, ironically, they may end up inheriting them. Your comment reminded me about an article on how Millennial women are conflicted about being breadwinners. [1
