This is the last chance to get in before they release two more disruptive products. Wearable + Television product. Get in now. It's quite literally the surest bet in the market.

God damn, I love companies that make a physical hardware product that is such a gamble like this one. I will be pre-ordering, if only to encourage startups to think bigger than software. Stunning!

Why would they surface this to the end user? Or even pass on the costs? Asinine.

Because it's actually not a great place to live?

Great article. It should read "How not to get fucked at a startup" This coming from someone who got bent over a barrel.

From the article's comments: "Imagine a Tesla that was powered by a Google self-driving system." That will NEVER happen. Ever. Other car companies -- Mercedes, Audi -- are already ahead of Google on what matters; external pac

The most terrifying reality Google faces is that it cannot effectively productize any of these "moonshots" it's working on. That includes Glass, Self-Driving Cars, Drones, and all the other superfluous stuff they're thro

Actually, more than a ticket. They can impound your car. However, most systems have an "alert then disable after X seconds" system - giving you time to slow, then disable the jam, allowing the LEO to get a 'speed' eventu

I'd love for them, you know -- to design radical new ways of visualizing and accessing the wealth of human knowledge, rather than spend their time with geeky pet projects that will never see the light of day. Google search interface ha

These work. Very much discussed in SV car clubs. Many spotted in my local Audi club. This + LIDAR jammer = no tickets.

Am I the only one flabbergasted by the comp #'s thrown around in the article and in these threads?

Someone didn't like "spergy" Heh.

Doesn't matter. Does Photoshop feel measurably faster on a 4 year old Macbook Pro vs. a new one? Does email? Does web browsing? Minus some spergy cases (PC gaming, 3d rendering, virtualization, etc) most computers are just fine for eve

The answer is simple: keep a late model car, don't put on your license plates, and leave the dealer "paper" plate in the frame, and the "happy sticker" Temp DMV reg in the window. Keep your car clean. I haven't

Nothing new in this article at all. Remove the CEO. Start over. No one at 22 can lead; especially not one coddled by the Stanford/quasi-ivy/ivy-league system.

I still cannot believe anyone has any "real" money tied up in something like MtGox. Disturbing, stunning.

"Don't be evil" Rapgenius got punished for playing the game better than anyone else. Who's to say this couldn't happen to highly relevant sources of information? Wikipedia? Underground sites? This is the equivalent

I really wish I knew how this problem pans out in the next 15-20 years. Make no mistake, it is a problem - one that desperately needs attention. If you think for one minute you will be sheltered from the concenquences of such income inequal
