A person is not a face. Dating sites of all shades "sell" us a person at various levels of depth and according to our interests. Our interests can be deep, or can be shallow. Tinder is "selling" shallow+fun (Appearances,

Once again, Microsoft is slow to produce a product. In this case, the product is a "moonshot" at changing the UI. No wait, the product is a PR event that just says. "We can innovate too, you know" If this fails, they wil

Let us pause for a second an think what could possibly happen with anti-terrorism laws like this in not-so-advanced democracies where there is little protection of the average citizen from the abuse of state power. Let us also think about h

This used to be true in the old days. These days both India and China are extremely hot markets for good software engineers. Europe always had a shortage of developers. They are also not markets where people from other countries can go and

The disease is, to a large extent, myopic and self-serving reasoning. It goes like this: we want larger number of "highly skilled" developers to come to the US, preferably, permanently and preferably, working for VC-backed firms.

I'd add that the PG post is a symptom of a disease. A disease that that is brewing in the echo-chambers of SV. Note also the recent post where PG claims that "mean people fail". The more the VC community gets un-hinged from t

By and large, the main product of the Web industry is the user. Content or code that is sold as a property or a service is used to lure in the product (the user) and sell the most-commercially viable aspect of the product (that is the infor

"That is, the more expressive a language or system is, the less we can reason about it, and vice versa. The more capable the system, the less comprehensible it is." What makes these assertions true? Research/data/polls e

What about the cyber defense command ? Couldn't they have done anything to protect the U.S. companies? This is becoming a security issue.

No one is saying that it had to be code. It could be as simple as "talk to another peer or your manager before making the next step". For critical infrastructure companies there is the usual rule of "four eyes" for roll

This is a good effort. I do have some concerns about it. A true root cause would go deeper and ask why is it that an engineer could solely decide to roll out to all slices ? The surface-level answer is that Azure platform lacked tooling. Is

I am not worried about natural toxins. Most of what I select to eat is likely free of them. What I am worried about is that there doesn't seem to be any evidence of non-transfer of chemicals even at lower temperatures. I see claims but

And that makes it safer?

Is there any scientific evidence for this statement on no harmful chemical transfer below 140F. Also, just because the food came in the very bag you're cooking it in doesn't mean it is safer.

Question for sous-vide aficianados. Are you not worried about the chemicals going from plastic to your feed ? I grew up knowing that, by and large, the less manufactured stuff you put in your food the better the food is for your body. So, i

This Watson Analytics effort is flawed. It has a very limited market. It takes massive investment to run. Very few people will ever try it. They will also get very questionable benefits. Bottom line, it is hard to see IBM getting anything c

Does anyone else think that MS folks are just plain and simple desperate and are trying new things ? I think it is entirely feasible that they haven't really thought through what they are doing. It feels that they are simply streamlini

There is a serious issue with cameras in countries that have less than stellar record of protecting civil liberties. That would probably me 80-90% of the countries. No, cameras aren't increasing security in those societies.
