One factor seems to be the vertical integration. It seems like these days there are a bunch of large companies succeeding by having the users of the hardware involved tightly with the the designers of that hardware. Tesla is definitely doin

Check out meteorjs. Javascript has a huge amount of buzz and usage these days, and meteorjs is a fairly simple fully integrated environment that allows you to do just about anything. I don't use it - I have been developing software s

It seems to me that we have been doing this more and more as memory has gotten bigger and bigger, we care more and more about performance, and more and more people are writing more and more code that will be used for shorter and shorter tim

This model doesn't seem to consider risk. If you finance 75% of your home value, your equity is 4x as volatile as the market.

Not sure why anyone would think it was a bad thing to make a watch lighter and stronger.

I was interested in NoSQL. Went to a Mongo pres. Both examples would have been easier and faster in SQL. Even the SQL I used 20 years ago. I asked for an example that would show performance advantage. I got a tired vague statement abou

Is there anything like this for ruby?

They allow some small number of articles for each browser before putting up the wall. And I think you can defeat it by removing your cookies. I think that qualifies it for free linkage.

I think the fault is in the whole idea of giving reduced sentence for confessing. I understand that a confession is easier and there should be some incentive to make one, but it seems like the police coerce defendants into making confessio

Um... That graph goes up to 600. Kind of an epic fail when it is an article about the fastest computers in the world.

IMO, the issue is that real security is inconvenient, and my email is just not that secret.

I have a great deal of respect for Hawking, but... Lately it seems like he has said a couple of crazy things. We (as in most humans) are NOT going to get off the earth. Earth will always be the best chance for a planet for humans. Let&#

Isn't this the same as the rumor mill?

As many have said, this happens often in the stock market. And in other markets. All of these numbers are just numbers on paper, not actual cash in someone's pocket. This is one of the ways Mitt made so much money - buying companies

I guess the ethos OS will not support any windows less than 1280 px wide.

Sure, the panel is getting cheaper. But transportation, installation, and land are not. It is still likely that panels will be more cost effective than more complicated, expensive installations, but probably either oriented to the sun at

Yes. And that is one big reason why a corporation is not a person.

I find it hard to tell what will happen with Bitcoin tomorrow, much less in 5 months... I am under the impression that there's a decent chance that by August, the Bitcoin story will be a great story to write a novel about. I guess th

To me, this is one of those hypothetical possible eventualities that I don't pay much attention to. It's very likely that for the foreseeable future, printing shoes will be more expensive and result in lower quality shoes than th

Ever since I took Discrete Math in College, I have thought it would be a great way to introduce school kids to Math.

Looks like they don't have any aftermarket plans... I have a belkin hands free unit, and a home made bracket for my phone. Works pretty well. Is quite versatile. And I still have use of my regular old radio, which will play NPR or

iOS, Android, Tizen, Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS... Seems like perhaps a lot of people are trying to get VC funding on the back of iOS success, no?
