Is it only because they did a similar post last year that you were confused? Maybe this just needs "2015" in the title?

Nice site. Interesting to see the information clearly laid out like that. This should exist for everything as a decision making tool. It's not an either-or. We have a vet, but we still do our research on everything they recommend to un

Thanks for the link. Interesting full-length interview. Just wish Leo would stop interrupting his answers.

What you've outlined is what's on his bio, which is interesting sure. But I am willing to bet that there is a much more interesting backstory to this. Nothing bad per se, but perhaps he will one day tell a story of how Silicon Val

You can't just trample on people's rights because you disagree with them. Nor say "it's OK that it exists, it just can't be popular."

They're sold in grocery stores in the checkout line. Pretty much relegated to "impulse purchase to satisfy your misbehaving child".

That's an interesting point that shouldn't be lost in the discussion. Men who read comics have long been ridiculed by the mainstream. Even the Big Bang Theory, which inspired the blog authors' trip to the comic store, plays t

I like KR, but I wish I knew the true story from the Digg days til now. He needs to write an autobiography or something. I feel like there's a lot of subtext that I'm missing. We get to see the news of him joining Google, going pa

Let's say your computer emits a inaudible signal at 4.127Hz when the A key is pressed, 4.131Hz when the B key is pressed, etc. There is a unique signal emitted for each key. It sounds like they just modified the driver to make those si

Actually, this shows that intercepting the password entered from either audio or electronic signals from the other side of a wall is possible. It's just a matter of perfecting the technology to intercept it. Like, if I can read Chinese

Before Panda and Penguin, you would have been right to expect a huge SEO benefit. But Google has gotten pretty smart. Their algorithm doesn't consider that "designed by" link to be that important. And neither does the OP, act

I don't disagree with you. There's no inherent "right" to earn a living as a taxi driver. A driver chooses to enter that "market" with their service, knowing how it works in advance. But the $1500 rent real tax

Again, it's about deceptive recruiting practices. The author thinks his app is worth more than $2M. Hey, good for him. And most of us are not in that position. But it's not about that. It's about a series of lies to get him t

I think you read a lot of things into this article that aren't there. This isn't about some entitlement to more money. The article is about deceptive recruiting practices at Google. Phone calls and emails filled with lies. Why wou

The accusation has been around for a while and is not true.[1] Amazing how the story has morphed from "Optional Update" to "Critical" in 1 year's time. And it just sounds untrue. Why would you believe that? [1] htt

What was wrong with RapGenius? I actually like them. Simple idea executed well. I still use Genius regularly.

What was the result of that investigation? Can't find any info in the original thread.

I had a parking lot attendant at work who for years was always on his phone when I arrived. One day I asked him who he always talks to. He says he has another business besides the parking lot. So maybe at least some of these cabs are having

I once talked to a taxi driver (who didn't own the medallion), who said he paid the owner $1,500 per month to drive for him. Plus the cost of his car, gas, and high insurance. He had to earn $3,000 per month just to break even. Taxi dr

Unless their hot wallet was always empty (and how could it be, since it's by definition used for operations), there is no way they can say all of their coins are safe and none are missing. It's all they can say unless they know 10

He says he's the founder of priceline.com and 11th on the list of living patent holders. Good for him. Sure, it's not objective, but there's no such thing as unbiased opinion. It sounds like he thinks one problem with the cur

50 Years ago, in 1964, My Fair Lady was #3 at the Box Office, and won the Oscar for Best Picture. In 1956, Around the World in 80 days won and was #2. In 2014, 12 Years a Slave was #44 at the Box Office, and won the Oscar for Best Picture.

Oh you can now. But at what point will that stop? The concept of owning software is going away. In 5 years, you won't be able to buy Office or Photoshop. Just rent. Same for movies and music. Yes, you've always been able to rent t

For the police incident, a taxi I was riding in got pulled over because I (as the front passenger) wasn't wearing my seatbelt. So from the start it was quite obvious what the officer wanted. He got the drivers' license, held it up

Fun fact: I once bribed a police officer in the Philippines. Had a customs officer at the airport try to get a bribe from me (and I pretended to be ignorant to what he was getting at). It is pretty open there.

I agree. But the headline is "Why Fred Wilson is wrong". And the main argument is not something he said.

Not worried about them selling me my own data, so much as they want to get rid of the concept of "buy once and own it forever". The Internet megacorps have become addicted to the idea of lifetime rental. Rent MS Office. Rent this

The author starts by tearing down a straw-man. Fred Wilson wasn't predicting the end of "file systems". He was saying people go to the cloud to consume content (Netflix, Youtube, Spotify) and go to the cloud to create content

But the author specifically states the resume he shares with others is the truth, and not the same as the false resume only he sees.
