Facebook is not accessible in China now -- at least not in its full form as we know it. Facebook will have to morph significantly to enter China (filtering, cooperating with author…

Agreed. You have a 30-35 year career: so put this in that perspective. 2 years is not that much of a deal in the longer run. Are you not having fun with your startup? If you are ha…

Exactly. A lot of startup activity is centered around the internet. Limiting internet usage that will mean that people won't be able to use our web services just because their mont…

The API seems pretty simplistic. Does it choose the different supervised learning algorithm underneath without input from the user or does it just use one supervised learning algor…
