This is always misreported. It's true that we can't distinguish between two adjacent rgb values (in most cases, on most displays...), which is where this comes from. But as you say, displays only cover a portion of the space. The

But the cost to his ego for not meeting a milestone which receives even more publicity because of the big price tag is a big motivator (or at least one could argue) So even if the utility of the funds isn't consequential, a package lik

But shifts in the market aren't independent random events. You can definitely find examples of dramatic, real shifts in valuation but in the vast majority of cases business value is created over time. That rate of growth might be sligh

Don't know about the knock-offs. But Ecovacs makes a line of roomba competitors that match up as well or better and cost 75% as much.

Probably not as expensive, but still much more expensive than it need be. We've got a bunch of perverse incentives where it's cheaper for the patient to choose the option that's more expensive for the payer. Straightening tho

Spoilers: he doesn't actually use the output of the machine to power his site. Not that he couldn't... This pops up on HN or reddit every 3 or 4 years. I want to say he made it in early 2000s? I was in the cube next to him at

Heh, good to hear Google feels this pain, too. I work on the chromium codebase, and a 1 hour clean compile on a macbook pro seems optimistic. Luckily ninja and ccache do a good job of meaning you only ever do that once (and rsync solved th

You have examples? Every startup I've been with has been many years to profitability and the common names follow that pattern as well. Some get traction, or maybe growth early on, but actual startups don't seem to "make money

Is Uber making profits in the US market?

Yeah, this argument really undermines his credibility. I do think we need a rational justification for the vote, as there has been some hysteria. If this direct response wasn't that, I don't think we'll get one

I'm in the same position. And use the same day bag for train travel as my carry-on, meaning I've brought packs of razor blades on planes by accident more than once. (And a hunting knife once after a camping trip). The theater arou

Gender may play a role here. I (male), too, have never been solicited. My girlfriend uses uber much less frequently, but has had it happen a few times.

I moved coasts and city sizes, riding uberX a lot in both. East coast big city was strictly back seat. Continued the practice west coast smaller town and had a couple drivers mention it was unusual when I asked.

I thought that was the whole point of end-to-end. That you don't need trust in the server because the messages are opaque. If this is an exploit that can be performed by a compromised server, it's very much relevant

Actually, it's gal. Point blank. Not used as often, because the diminutive term passes for an alternative among many.

Can't touch screens give you a "receipt"? Particularly if it's validated by the voter, this removes the machine-failure hole where the optical scan fails for non-compromised reasons.

Ed, I like that you've kept that perspective without having to had experience it. TBF I don't think it's been like that forever, but it's definitely taken on the role of the primary Good Engineer Burnout machine in Bosto

As an engineer and former Hubspotter, I think Lyons is pretty accurate, if filtered through a Main Street lens and embarrassingly self serving.

Having given a lot of complexity interviews, I value a candidate who says, "This is O(n^2) and it seems like there's a faster way, but I can't see it" over one who stumbles on the right solution. If they had to tell you

Many companies trying to enter a market with a big markup (like travel) will do things like this. Find a differentiator, build a user base, and in the end become another comparison booking site that just passes people off to an agency for

As an advertiser, ads when you're the first result aren't a rip off. At that point you're not paying for the ad, you're paying so someone else doesn't get the ad over your results.
