I imagine the next logical step would be for Netflix to start having their own (inclusive) movie competitions, and in the process more than likely become far more relevant than the…

I was just thinking. What is a good way to phrase the problem in order to understand whether there are more pros / cons to having the client vs server decide which algorithms to us…

If the specification requires the server to decide which algorithm to use a naive client, who doesn't know which algorithms are safe or not, is just as dangerous. As far as I know …

I used to get annoyed by all the negativity Soylent received from people. Now I just get amused by it. Soylent has been nothing but a positive addition to my life.

Do you think it's more difficult for a person to comprehend that the "workshops" are just as much an opinion as the "hate speech" they're trying to target?

Although that point of view appears to miss the point. It appears the inability to pay for food with the health budget would hide / obfuscate the data that might have otherwise sho…

Granted, I don't yet know the scope of the project precisely (ie. how detailed and how much information was collected), but if it's as big as I think it is, Steve Ballmer has insta…

My experience with FedEx's technology stack is minimal, but I can tell you that all publicly exposed FedEx technology (ie. apis, etc) confirm without a shadow of a doubt that FedEx…

I think an important thing for a product like this to take off will be integrating a good / open api.

I think hindsight will reveal that the things that make a "distributed company" successful are really the same things that make a "localized company" successful. I think it's just …

I think simulations will be used to help people live more productive / happy lives in the future. Imagine having many "lives" worth of experience, perhaps from many different perio…

I think the "trick" (not really a trick) is to learn to "see things for what they are". As simple as that sounds, I'm always surprised at how difficult it seems to be for some peop…

Noticed they added Facebook to the LICENSE. Facebook was notorious at one point for some unpopular language in their open source licenses. Does their inclusion in the LICENSE file …

WebSockets are just too slow https://www.w3.org/TR/tcp-udp-sockets/ Not sure status of this standard, or plans for adoption. As long as proper steps are taken to allow for secure i…

In theory I imagine the metrics a company defines and attempts to achieve are the ones they want to optimize for. So in essence I can think of only 2 primary reasons it will end ba…

I apologize for not being more clear. I was thinking about the flexbox more than the IE9 deprecation. The jQuery story was only to reinforce the idea that open source projects are …

I find it extremely powerful that major open source projects are calling the shots instead of the major browser vendors. For some who may not recall, I think the most famous / hist…

IMO humans are just bad at communicating in a precise / efficient way. Most people I meet / work with who are not in a technical field are usually very bad at explaining their busi…

It's beyond belief that people spend money to gamble at casinos. It's one thing to know with 100% certainty that the house has the odds in their favor. But an entirely different be…

First, in the US I think we need to convince a substantial chunk of the population that it's not religion that will solve our problems, but better education.

I think now is a perfect opportunity for the startup community to work toward changing this. In other words, I think dependence on VCs (or loans in general) for success builds an e…

Even from a purely philosophical perspective I have a great appreciation for material design. Even if it's not their intent, they're normalizing and standardizing art / design for …

My guess is existing auto (and other) manufacturers have all but locked up world's supply chain of raw materials necessary to make it feasible to manufacture automobiles at large e…
