I think the point is, they are good businesses short term. They have a minimal terminal value, short lifespan, and there is virtually no barrier to enter the market. Sort of like when google launched. The only surviving niche of google X is

Interesting, is that how google rev img search works? I was trying to find a usecase for this tech. I thought google maybe hashed files and searched thatway, but thumbnails dont always turn up results. I thought maybe they just used pagesou

There are open crawl sets available. English is poor because I am on mobile (which is why i am not going to provide the links) one is called, i think, open crawl index. However, like googlebot, the browser will of course be the actual crawl

Hey Brendan, Just wanted to throw my $0.02 out there. A browser company will obviously be the next google. Advertising makes no sense as a monetization strategy in any capacity. World wide web is an RSS feed and browsers currently only a fe

At first, I was pissed about the hyperbolic attention grabbing headline, Elon Musk isn't a moniker for Tesla... ...then I got to the part where (allegedly), Elon Musk literally took his car , never delivered it, and pretty much just f

This article seems to have many correct pieces, but I don't think they coslesce to prove the point, or at least, not entirely. I don't think that manufacturing semiconductors are comparable to building maps. Apple should have done

this was what I meant. thanks. You can buy a 5tb hard drive for ~138.00. You could likely buy several of them at discount to get started. As you go forward in time, these will become much cheaper, allowing you to continue purchasing them on

obviously. I think it will become mainstream with technological people in 2 years. It will take time to, of course, actually be built. Then, have enough data fed into it to actually be useful. That will take about 2 years(ish).

it is so fucking obvious that this idea is exactly how browsers will work in the future. A browser is going to just be something like node-webkit/webkit/electron etc. so compatability won't be an issue, then you just connect

The post states he paid $150 yo retrieve 60gb of data. For $150 you can buy a 5tb hdd drive. What usecase could the price delta make sense to have a 4 hour feedback loop and all of your important data locked in someone elses data center. th

Makes a lot of sense. The scrawny kid with low self esteem who has a bad family life so he lashes out from time to time, is entirely ostracized by all the popular kids until he agrees to turn in his red ruder bb gun.

And to your point, if you have a site that doen't really rely on JS, sure you can throw some no-js classes in and get the lowest hanging fruit, but what then? I mean, don't you usually check if something succeeded by using javas

I am not pro survellience but, in my opinion, sort of surveiling terrorists using the official chat.ISIS distro is basically the narrow usecase where moderates find it acceptable. Obviously, the problem is that it is not being used this nar

My personal opinion is that open sourcing googlebot[0] and tensorflow, as well as a the numerous other tools like elastic search and frameworks like hadoop make it pretty easy to make narrow search tools. So someone like me, a pretty shitty

I agree with you, and something I am actively working on. That said, anecdotally, the market seems to overvalue many things a medium amount, and greatly undervalue a small few things by an order of magnitude. So while I would say, sure, the

An alernative hypothesis is that etsy was a predominently female community that (kind of conjecture) used to have a comminty driven social aspect. As it became more of a market place, and less of about discovery and community, most of those
