That graph amuses me. Notice the benefit to users continues to climb, even if the benefit to "facebook and other companies" happens to climb faster. So even though it benefits you more and more, you will deny yourself that benefit because i

Dr. Mahzarin Banaji, a Harvard social psychologist who is an expert in stereotyping, told me, "Carol Dweck is a flat-out genius. I hope the work is taken seriously. It scares people when they see these results." Ironic that a so-called "e

He was picking an earnings number ($1 billion-ish) and a P/E ratio (20ish) and solving for the P. Of course, the $1 billion is revenue, not earnings, so that number is likely to be lower (or negative) and the ratio is likely (if history is

I really don't get this argument. It seems that his point is that section 3.3.1 is going to scare developers away and ruin the platform. Ok. So let the developers go elsewhere. The only party hurt here is Apple. If they want to shoot themse

I agree with all your explicit points, and I realize that graph is a very crude indicator. Also, I agree with the implicit point I think you are making, which is that this reform really does nothing to address these issues. (Although I woul

According to CNN, Obama is going to sign the bill on Tuesday. The amendments are a totally separate bill, which will now be punted back and forth between the House and Senate, assuming the Senate doesn't just pass it as it stands. Source:
