Interesting, I didn't realize Bernanke's performance is considered a disappointment. It's interesting to read the phrase "full prosperity" used so casually; I guess there's a speci…

Wow. This is mind-blowing. I've actually seen the "No more buwwets" episode. I just can't imagine pointing a gun at someone and firing without having personally seen that there wer…

"Thanks to an intricate series of gears and dials, the mechanism could be used as a calendar, to track the phases of the moon, and to predict eclipses." That's pretty crazy. It wou…

That's pretty cool. It would be even cooler if it weren't PHP, though.

Really insightful. I can definitely picture the person "listening" while they're really just waiting to sell the person on an idea once they've finished. Taking the mindset of true…

It's incredible to me how Encyclopedia Britannica just couldn't conceive of it being a legitimate thing. I think that really exemplifies how larger companies don't bother to compet…

This is pretty sweet. A lot of people get addicted to OTC sleep aides. Maybe this will lead to better, more targeted help for people with sleep problems, and not have them get addi…

Nice concrete walkthrough of an otherwise abstract concept. I'm not sure the source of code complexity that I worry about most is the number of possible state transitions, but that…

Assuming they did not do it, does anyone know why Islamic militant groups claim responsibility for this stuff?

"This is not a difference of degree, it is a difference of kind. It is why there is probably not an evolutionary path from the cruise/autopilot systems based on existing ADAS techn…

This doesn't strike me as a problem. Large companies also shut down initiatives and projects, and everyone knows that startups are inherently risky, because they don't have a busin…

Wow, feel the Google wrath. My view of Symantec is that it's an over-the-hill tech company that has its hands deep enough in enough enterprise stuff that it stays alive. I'd love t…

I don't mean this negatively, but I don't understand what point you're making...

Haha, nice

Who knows, good old Microsoft may want to put more cash down than FB or others on an app that gave then a legit piece of millennial mobile activity.

Quoted from article: “You grant Snapchat a world-wide, perpetual, royalty-free, sublicensable, and transferable license to host, store, use, display, reproduce, modify, adapt, edit…

Good old free enterprise competition! It's interesting that Amazon has decided that the strategic value of limiting access to these products by removing from Amazon is more valuabl…

It really blows your mind how it's all about the government trying to increase their power at the expense of everyone else.

Got rid of my facebook account a few years ago and haven't looked back since.

The extent to which an app can add something that seems like a non-feature (it takes a selfie of the viewer's reaction) then try to build a business out of it is truly amazing to m…

This feels like an over-simplification. Life doesn't fit into 4 quadrants, and the only thing models are guaranteed to do is be inaccurate. "One thing" and "well" are fundamentally…
