Good that you raised the point of language. This is already a problem in the area of chip (IC) manufacturing. A very large number of newly designed chips now have their specificati…

The Chinese language does not lend itself to easy translation to English. It always gets "easier", but not quite good enough. At least not for sophisticated purposes like research.…

1. Reddit on the topic of Donald Trump is an example. 2. Forcing social media firms to delete specific kinds of content is another (albeit controversial) example. 3. Redacting all …

Please don't misunderstand when I say this: your own tech team is best positioned to help you with this. Be humble/open throughout the whole process. Maybe start with the junior mo…

Do your own thing - you seem to have the right mix of skills: dev + some sales exp. Don't bother with an actual dev job.

Why do you think this is a likely outcome? Considering that nothing of the sort has happened with airlines or network tv.

So, in order to preserve NN, it is the USA, and not sub Saharan Africa that really needs a project Loon (not run by google, ideally).

Really nice indeed, but I think it'd have been much nicer with actual examples/equations.

I have a pack of dogs. And they all hunt opportunistically. There're plenty of (mostly eaten) prey corpses strewn over the acreage. Anecdotal I know but I'm sure you can read up on…

You/we ARE a part of nature. If 100% of people care about doing certain things (that they actually have control over) in a certain way, that's the same as nature doing it that way.…

Rephrasing the above post, sans adjectives: "building up foreign markets" - isn't that how globalization happens?

This is why I usually use just lynx.

We already have legal advice. While advice from random strangers ought to be take with a pack of salt, random strangers have little vested interest in the topic and nothing to lose…

A fight there'll be. Too many in favor. Any clues where I could get info on past instances like this or examples of underbelly tactics would be much appreciated...

Reason I posted here (with a throwaway account) was I hoped (based on the crowd here, and certain comments I'd seen in the past alluding to related first/second hand experiences) t…

That's also what the founder instinctively suggests. I don't disagree. But my posting here stems from certain concerns: 1. BigCo can easily outlawyer us 2. Tangentially related to …

Is there a viable strategy for this sort of scenario? I'm at a place that has an exciting MVP now in a rather successful public beta. We just noticed a (very) large competitor copy…
