This is a solid article. Steven Levitt & stephen Dumbner (of freakonomics fame) have done a 100 year look at the high end bivycle market in the surrounding areas of innovation hubs. They were able to predict a bubble witn a 97.3% confid

Not knowing enough about this, I am genuinely curious if something like zerodb solves this. It was posted yesterday, but it was started by 2 guys, i think one was from morgan stanely, that allow you to securely send and receive data from th

I agree with you for the most part and it is possible-- quite likely even, that I am saying my example is the exception to the rule, but generally it is not the case. However, I am not domain squatting and the economnics aren't there

I registered a domain last week directly from the registrar for $200 a year, which Is a lot for me. I know it is probably at least worth $1000 right now so I could get what I paid out of it at least. The point I am trying to make is that th

Interesting take. To summarize, you believe that speculators manipulate markets and prices decouple from value because self interested parties force it to communicate information incorrectly? Also, you point out that the announcement of the

This is untrue. Leverage shapes market and it is being proven that laws and regulations are malleable. Unfortunately, this cascades down from regulation, to law, to rights . While Taxis and regulatory controllers found it difficult to chal

Interesting. On a deep technical level I wouldnt profess to know how advanced or secure this is, but signaling from others in the space snd the interviews with the core dev teams I watched seem to suggest it is a good working model gor dist

Pump and dump the way you phrased it, seems to auggest the entire thing is a pump and dump scheme. Either way, the price fluctuates woldly as people try to do this scheme, but the company raised $15m and appears to be actively developing th

by vonklaus 11y ago
well, you couldn't. Peter Todd is a btc dev and provided a lot of thinking on the tradeoffs. He stated in an interview (fairly confident in this) a 100x improvement in speed and is in favour of not increasing block size. Should check i

It is a strong signal to the market that they aren't cooperating and actually, actively hiring to get to market with something that is non-trivial to break into. I don't know about his engineering abilities but the interview I rea

Twitter, Yahoo and LinkedIn aren't imperatives as their beacon data is likely the most important piece and the rest already cover that, and twitter is the only one that will be a company in a year. Amazon, Google, MS and Apple are the

I am going to hack on this and see how it works, but first glance looks cool. The image (really confusingly) illustrates the searchflow model: Broweser ==> Google Goolge ==> Results results ===> Hacker news or another aggregator ag

Thanks, the "issue" was an illustrative example, however I am a relatively tech savvy person and I use google frequently and I didn't know about this feature. I would be interested to know what percentage of searches levera

The default case is that everyone has a "search profile" but it is made by google and applied to abstracted parameters. Everyone wants a "search profile" except they would like to control it and how it is applied as it i

Correct. However the problems (as I see them now) are 2fold: No concept of time. Best case conception of time seems to be either provided by the site, "article date" or something to this effect, or t0 = when google first learned a

You are not correct. Apache Foundation, electron/chromium & elastic are the open source components of google. meme-explorer is the paradigm but was funded by drape/jpl_nasa so work was suspended on it. heirarchical crawl index
