I feel obliged to mention "Compilers: Principles, Techniques, and Tools" or more commonly known as the dragon book. I loved that book.

Beating random doesn't mean making a return. A lot of VC plainly and simply lose money.

You can also have a convoy of 1 manned truck with n driverless truck that play follow the leader. You end up with a train model on the road infrastructure.

Once I heard Marissa Mayer recount that she asked Sergey Brin where he got the idea of doing such a minimalist design for Google. Sergey's answer was: I don't do HTML.

Contracted vs grew is still in opposite direction and significant, but I doubt those numbers are right, they should both be growing.

The formula by Sivers he refers too seems to be the best approximation to value idea. I still like to put emphasis on execution instead of idea, since almost everybody I talk with that value idea is in fact doing some analysis paralysis and

Cool recap of all the aspect you want to monitor while building your business. While giving you the way to not drown in too much information by focusing on one. In retrospect it is obvious, but so hard. I always wanted to focus on the metri

This subject was presented in a book I read recently, along with many interesting aspect of how our mind works. The book is definitely worth reading, it was "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. I wonder if it can explain the fact t

I saw her current net worth being evaluated at $300,000,000. I doubt this moves has anything to do with money, but she would not want to be seen as a cheap hire either.

The article cited never asked "Is 12,000 ...". They say "Look cameras are not that bad since most are on premise and are privately owned and operated." I find that this comparison is dishonest and is not relevant. edit: changed "you cite" t

The fact that the majority of camera is privately owned is not relevant. The question remains: "Is 500 cameras too many, too little or just about right, for a county of 1 million?". I have no idea, but I don't see why the ratio public/priva

I used it while abroad. Since the GPS works, you can see where you are on the map, which is a big plus over only a paper map. Obviously getting data access would be even better, but it's a nice free alternative.

I immediately thought of Visual Age for Smalltalk when I saw this, but having been done is no reason to not try again.

This is great, I would love to try something like it. Making each code artifact living outside of the file paradigm should enable new way to develop, but in the past what I saw trying failed (at least for me). The drafting table look like t

They do say they check if the same user by cookie or logged in is back on Google within a short amount of time. This would mean the site was a poor fit for the query. It is an indicator of the quality of the result for this query and for th

The timing seems strange if you are not following Dave Winer and John Battelle blogs. They both recently talked about Data Lock In and Scoble seems to see it as too little too late. He uses the story to back his position. My guess is someon

It's not the amount of money spent, it's the time available. They probably fear far much the time spent in Facebook, casual web games, youTube, etc... Those are only starting and they see what it means for revenue in the future.

The problem often becomes that even if it is written, the documentation is rarely or never read. People then wonder if they should write more or less and why it is this way. I think one of the problem is we think we are finished after we wr
