    Coincidentally, I just had a talk with one of our principle developers about Fourier transforms. He's an audio expert and was trying to explain re-sampling and aliasing to me. I un…

    I would like to see how this turns out considering how miserably the US's Healthcare.gov site has been going. It sounds like the Brazilian govt. is using an internal group (the Fed…

    I have the same feeling as you... I don't understand where other people's hostility is coming from. This sounds like it would be a minor change. Will Buik, who posted the decline n…

    OP is probably referring to Lodsys, https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/10/patent-troll-lodsys-se... , who is known for suing iOS and I think Google Play developers for using in app…

    There are lots of trolls, but I always enjoy the occasionally hilariously clever comment or interesting information/opinions people can offer on more technical subjects.

    I don't understand the significance of this... Can somebody explain it to me like I'm 5 or provide a source for me to understand this more?

    Seriously? It's like the author, Adam, and I read a completely different Huffington blog posts. And why the hell does he need to drop the f-bomb so much to grab attention? I'm at t…

    Thanks for sharing. Any insight as to why investors sometimes back out at the last minute, after the startup has already committed to the change? I've read of that same thing happe…
