Isn't there relationship already problematic? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/nov/20/firefox-g...
The waveforms will all likely be disclosed in their patents too: https://patents.google.com/?assignee=E+Ink+Corp Certainly a number of drive waveforms and the basic concepts are presented. There are likely…
Could you not get a prenup?
Are many/most companies with billion dollar valuations so exposed? I would imagine most billion dollar companies have multiple sites and manufacturing and data centers spread across multiple sites.
That's such a neat idea. I wonder why floating plants don't already exist. I'm also surprised that I've not seen it in Scifi.
Why? VCs might just be not very good at selecting good plays?
Yes, or some startup figures out that they can start doing it and charge the tech companies for access to their platform. An open standard would be better of course.
Sun was serious about software at least to the extent that Acorn was.
Interesting thread. I think self-driving cars are short term doomed, and we've doomed them. The problem is we view them as a purely technical problem where-as the real issues are sociological. It's not possible to…
I don't see how that follows. They don't just waste money, they redirect resources that could be deployed better elsewhere.
Urgh, it's really bullshit. A minority of Japanese workers are Kaishain (Salarypeople), and there's nothing you really really /need/ from a corporation. Corporate socialising is a thing, as is finding a partner at work.…
I read the article, but I can't see how the title is supported. What is for example, the second largest tech hub and how narrow is silicon valley's lead over it. I would guess that the bay area if way way ahead of…
I agree, we can't proceed without mistakes. But it's incorrect to say that there is no cost, and that we shouldn't minimise mistakes (which is what the comment I was replying to was implying). The VC stuff... I'm not…
It's probably not very bad, but stupid experiments can have a negative influence on the community as a whole. Let's say e-ink keyboards are a good idea, but it's too soon. An early implementation will quite possibly…

Pretty much all the Dyson's I've used have had very poor suction and hardly pick up anything. The Toshiba bagless cleaners work well in my experience.
I don't understand the Dyson hype. Their products seem over-engineered, over-priced, and under-performing... On top of which Dyson himself is strongly pro-Brexit [1] which is shaping up to be a disaster for the UK.…
wow that's neat! sampling between PWM cycles is a cool idea. I'd guess the issue is that the required parameters are not well controlled in the fabrication of most LEDs. Possibly LEDs not used as indicators, with a…
Don't know, but I would guess that in most cases they want to coerce people into giving up their rights. I.e. "sign this to agree you give up your right to X". That might be remaining holiday pay or something else.…
No, but this service did also do the rounds in Japan. In this case it's most likely not very useful, but I think people can understand what the utility might be (and the social context in Japan in a little different).
I think like most "weird Japan" articles this one is being mischaracterised somewhat. It is often somewhat difficult in Japan to get your legal entitlement when leaving a so called "black" company. They might not easily…
You could say the same thing about Janitors or network engineers or devops, or many other positions in a company. If they're doing their jobs well, they increase the productivity of all other employees. Managers might…
Really interesting article! The Peter principle states that "every employee tends to rise to his level of incompetence". The article cites an example from Sales teams. That it's the highest performing sales people that…
1 in 10 people being racist wouldn't really qualify as being "incredibly racist" in my view. Perhaps "incredibly racist" isn't a very useful term anyway. Yes, it's important to look at data rather than anecdotes. We can…
