so basically it goes like: "someone says that someone said that someone else thinks that.."

I was at a conference in Sept (actually YC startupschool:P) and there was a comprehensive speech by Rigetti about quantum computers and how much more powerful they are and how much…

if you'd like to know where to eat it, table 1 has it all :) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3022763/

4 years ago, when I was working in Deloitte, it was impossibile to think about using Apple products, half of the software wouldnt work! Good to see some change, are visio and proje…

If the trend continues, could it be counter-productive also for the tech industry? Are the housing price the outcome of fair demand/supply?

No, I was just pointing out that 80% is not very likely and is probably some sort of bias or mis-representation. In fact it would be a great compliment for them because they would …

"80%" it's very unlikely, say it is true, you just do the opposite and you have free money. I suspect the correct overall percentage should be much closer to 50%. Finding a profita…

I like it, it resembles somehow a car and gives a speed feeling

I think the author misspelled, should be "Homo Baggins", not quite sure what is the "Homo Floresiensis" about!

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I think it still applies in some ways, if I get it right that is probably used to lower the licenses fee. Raise the price or lower the costs, I thi…

It's unlikely that they made such decisions "lightly". Most of the time the correct pricing decision is: make higher pricing (especially for a "startup" which had aggressive pricin…
