I was at a conference in Sept (actually YC startupschool:P) and there was a comprehensive speech by Rigetti about quantum computers and how much more powerful they are and how much less energy they need. In the article above it's not c

4 years ago, when I was working in Deloitte, it was impossibile to think about using Apple products, half of the software wouldnt work! Good to see some change, are visio and project compatibile now?

If the trend continues, could it be counter-productive also for the tech industry? Are the housing price the outcome of fair demand/supply?

No, I was just pointing out that 80% is not very likely and is probably some sort of bias or mis-representation. In fact it would be a great compliment for them because they would be getting consistently the opposite of the market (If they

"80%" it's very unlikely, say it is true, you just do the opposite and you have free money. I suspect the correct overall percentage should be much closer to 50%. Finding a profitable strategy should be much more difficult th

"It’s one more reason why NSA may prove to be one of Washington’s greatest liabilities rather than assets." WOW, never though I'd read that on something like Reuters, he put his foot down.. :s

In some country that kind of auction is considered gamble indeed and it's against the law (most EU as far as I know). From a Mechanism Design point of view, they are maximizing their own profit and they also expect their players to be

I totally agree about "[attackers] prefer to use system weaknesses over software exploits" for the reason mentioned (if you use someone password chances are no alarm will ring, if you scan every port on every possible network.. me

I think the interesting observation is: if you are using ML chances are 80% of your algorithms are already published somewhere and available to all, so one should tune in that 20% of his/her own field, some field which is not a common

It looks like they are not interested in maximum profit indeed. Maybe they'd like to be very sure about where they are going? Or maybe it is some legal constraint, like a country cannot subscribe to a consumer exchange?

This scenario is also quite interesting for cryptocurrencies, say at the moment you don't have the cash in the local currency, you may want to distribute a token. As of now in fact paper vouchers are also used in that scenario.

I relate with most of the points, also from my experience with due diligence (bought by the vc from an external consulting company) they cannot say all is good, since if it fails then they could be blamed, they cannot say all is bad otherwi

I think the author misspelled, should be "Homo Baggins", not quite sure what is the "Homo Floresiensis" about!

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I think it still applies in some ways, if I get it right that is probably used to lower the licenses fee. Raise the price or lower the costs, I think they need to show margin somehow.

It's unlikely that they made such decisions "lightly". Most of the time the correct pricing decision is: make higher pricing (especially for a "startup" which had aggressive pricing to conquer the market). To raise

1 year after the stroke, the difference in a month is very limited in my experience. I am not a doc, but I've crunched some numbers related to this topic, what was your experience?

Super nice, is it an asic designed for ML algorithms? Which ones? Well, I wouldn't call it a startup though, 100 employees, 10 years of development.

You should compare that 7/18 with what happened to other 18 in the same condition. 1 year after stroke, it is quite safe to say that 0/18 would have any improvement in 1 month (the patients were testes also 1 month after).

Most of the interesting work I do is in C, so probably not the very top commenter on this, but I have some business in Java. I've seen some functional programming and I agree mostly on the point: "isolating side effects". All
