Almost every time I encounter cyclists in traffic, they context switch between vehicle and pedestrian at their convenience. If you want to be treated as a vehicle, be a vehicle. Don't block a lane between intersections and then ride th

That documents retirement of an API. Someone visiting "search.twitter.com" in a browser wants to see a web page. It would seem sensible to redirect them to a place where they can do that.

The Crunchbase numbers of only 21 startups started since 2008 are grossly misstated, even based on Crunchbase data. I think I personally know 21 companies started AND funded since then in Atlanta. When I search for individual companies, the

I spent 3 years as a CTO and Executive Producer in social and children's games. The world of gaming is surprisingly unreceptive to the premise of a "minimum viable product". It is EXTREMELY difficult to "pivot" a game. The level of polish a

As a Flashpoint alum, I can certainly say that the resources that area limited are not those of the school. The most limited resources are those of appropriate mentors and advisors, and the time of the members of each team during group gath

So... MRSA Staph Infection... what is the cost to correctly diagnose? And what is the cost of the antibiotics? I'm not a doctor, but most non-boutique antibiotics are dirt cheap. I didn't intend to trivialize the illness. I more meant that

This is putting things exactly backwards. The argument is roughly "Treating a minor condition cost $24k, which could wipe people out financially, therefore PPACA is important." Where is the outrage over this price? What part of PPACA does A

From the entrepreneur's perspective, I found Pando Daily's writer to be very professional, and very intentional about building good context around our story. Also enjoyed their interest in a story in Atlanta, which has a good startup cultur

Interesting. I do think they have their PR team more engaged right now since it's prime application season.

I'm not sure this is much different from any other accelerator. I've heard that this experience is pretty similar for TechStars or YC rejections. That said, you could easily contend that as a less established accelerator, they should seem m

Sure, you can micro-parse the language, and yes, I mean it's at the 50% co-pay or whatever. If I were trying to explain the rationale in this case, I'd theorize it's because this is typically something that happens once in a lifetime (if at

I said "not always". Although it seems possible that scheduled wisdom tooth extraction may have been possible with proper care, regular x-rays, etc, that's not really the point. In my recollection, scheduled wisdom tooth extraction has usua

Individual dental plans typically aren't available. Even with insurance, the co-pay on wisdom tooth extraction is typically 50%, because such procedures are typically (not always) preventable by proper dental care. So even with insurance, h

Not necessarily. Last week, I opted out of backscatter, and the pat-down triggered an "explosives detected" alert. I was in a hurry, but otherwise would have wanted to be much more resistive of the private search I underwent after that. Bec

This article is very ignorant. The Clayton Anti-Trust Act doesn't require a monopoly as a prerequisite. It specifically addresses tying products that materially reduce competition. You can compare them to Microsoft's "tying" arguments, you

Yes, this. App stores are like a new-fangled version of old-school Yahoo. In the early internet, it made sense to sort web sites into categories and curate the best ones into lists. Eventually, the internet became too big for that, and sear

It's a completely odd decision for someone to make. "I'm going to run this bleeding edge, open-source app framework, but I can't figure out EC2 and Windows makes me feel safe at night." When you ask someone, "Why Node?", it seems like a com
