Here's a plausible argument: "That only means that the smartphone market now has segments. And, the consumers who are now buying other smartphones predominantly fall into the segment in which Android is stronger." It is plaus

First of all, I will short any stock you pick. It is always a good bet to predict that a company will soon be in a downslide. Secondly, your personal feelings about the iPhone UX doesn't matter. And finally, despite the earlier "e

Not true. Watson style analytics requires HPC, the kind that Google and Microsoft do not (need to) build. Although, that might change with time as (cheaper) computers get faster.

Don't mean to throw a wet blanked over your enthusiasm, but this is a very new technology, and unless you work at a major partner, the chances are slim that you'll get access to the API soon. Or, come work at IBM :-)

Agreed. Some arguments/explanations are inherently operational, and do not lend themselves into stories. Take the argument of creationism vs self organization and evolution. I am pretty sure that many people still don't really und

That HN reader will probably take Mondays off. The real question is: Will this will just create more jobs in the end? I am not sure though. Because, it will make life even harder for B&M stores. I already use only the local hardware sto

Also, consider why religious texts prefer to resort to stories rather than analytics.

This book has a yogurt recipe! I'm glad that is still legal. But, some things aren't really legal, like stealing food off the delivery guy's car.

And, in spirit of the HN: of course, starting your own company that will do good, is the best option, if you can.

Both Google and Goldman are corporates. How about adding Pfizer to the mix? The result doesn't change. It doesn't matter what they do, their priority is not saving the world, even as a side effect. If you want to save the world, y

Part of the reason is because we have gone back to the days of terminals. Chromebook is a good milestone in marking what people do with computers and how much power they need. We are past the point where computer as a consumer device, and c

Articles and blog posts are usually not worth reading, some are even poisonous, as they promote some fad or groupthink. Books, especially those that people whom you trust have recommended do worth the time to read, older books, even better.

The problem is not the opaque peer review system. Instead of making the reviews transparent, some journals solicit notes from other researchers to discuss the published articles. It is an ethical responsibility to publish notes which critic

So true! The health of scientific literature is not in the articles that claim things, but in the follow-up articles that verify and/or disprove. Skepticism is at the very core of science. Partly to blame are the "non-fiction&#x2F
