Many people may not remember the "tablet revolution" of this period. Tons of consultants all raced to own and carry these things. They ran windows and worked fine but it just wasn'…

First of all if you are going to talk about valuation then that should be included here. And Google has always been terrible at developing and managing products . The list is too l…

Bentley was a bit of a blow hard which really stood out in CS circles. He was around CMU at times when I was there as a student.

It reminds me of how Ford started and owned the market, then GM became dominant by offering different colors, models, and styles that would appeal to the market segment that wanted…

I think this hits the nail on the head, especially longer term. It's hard to compete with this level of low-cost production with steadily improving specs. Raspberry Pi seems caught…

Off the top of my head out about DraftKings $DKNG and Vertiv Holdings $VRT. Huge successes there. True that the majority have been major disappointments but you can find some good …

Chamath Palihapitiya and Adam Neumann are up to their old tricks with a new spin! Happy AFD.

This reminds me of a site that I miss that was called Regretsy and I often had tears in my eyes because it was so funny. Bravo!

I think Strava already offers this. I used it for a 10K last year.

Most of the cost in the internet is advertising. I was so happy to discover Kagi about a year ago. Saves me hours every week. https://ipocandy.substack.com/p/finally-a-better-searc…

This is an interesting way to do this. I've been using Sublime lately and it's been okay but I need some organization. Does this allow something like "diary [name] [text] where you…
