An interesting side note about this story is the homogeneity and lack of relevant background among Theranos's board of directors. All the outside directors were white, prestigious (former generals, senators, cabinet secretaries, etc) a

I'm not sure that accuracy/HP are the right things to tweak. I've always wanted to be "surprised," in an unscripted way, by AI enemies in FPS and RTS games.

It's an interesting point, but I'm wondering how to unpack it. "If Twitter was open... a dozen people innovating on it..." Though not 100% independent of their funding model (loss-aversion bias might lead us to conclude

The comments here remind me a little of Pierre Bayard's delightful(ly) postmodern monograph, _How to Talk about Books You Haven't Read_ [0]. It's an entertaining read. [0] http://www.amazon.com/Talk-About-Book

I believe it's a licensing arrangement. Those locations often buy and license Starbucks coffee (though often not their baked goods), but are not run by Starbucks. e.g., Barnes and Nobel, Safeway.

What a great question. I do think that, generally speaking, confidence that the markets are stable is good for an economy, and these sorts of events undermine that confidence. It's important not to understate the cost of failure in the

I have heard Gregg Berman speak, though I hadn't read this speech until skimming it just now. I do think that there is, generally speaking, a heartfelt desire to develop the tools and data needed to gain insights that Berman is talking

One of the authors here. I think that's a pretty good summary. And, yes, I agree that there are ways to introduce damping into many such systems and some has been added since the Crash, as another comment points out. I think it would b

I've started trying to enforce conservation of clothing. If I acquire a free shirt, or have the "need" to buy something like a jacket, I will eject an older jacket from my inventory. It's a nice way to try to combat the endowment effect. I'
