Re:Yahoo sold to US telecoms giant Verizon on Sunday July 24, 2016 @11:08PM (#12156223)
Hi, can you elaborate more on what you are asking?
Re:Yahoo sold to US telecoms giant Verizon on Sunday July 24, 2016 @06:06PM (#12155125)
Note that Verizon has a division - Product Innovation and New Business - that is run separate from the telco business that you are mentioning.

In recent years Verizon has acquired technology companies EdgeCast Networks (CDN) and upLynk (Video Streaming) which form the core of Verizon's Digital Media Services [1].

Combining these assets with AOL (AdTech) and Yahoo (if the deal happens) gives Verizon an end-to-end platform for the creation, delivery and monetization of content (with focus on video) in the Internet.

Disclosure: I work at EdgeCast and we operate as a technology company, hate bureaucracy and try very hard to innovate and stay agile.

Samsung generates a lot of sensor/IoT type of data (e.g. smart phones, smart TVs, medical, industrial). They'll need the infrastructure to process and store all these data.

True, but that's GitLab's business strategy anyway.
Re:GitHub responds to Dear GitHub letter on Friday February 12, 2016 @11:45AM (#11088471)
GitHub should consider "open sourcing" GitHub itself so the community can submit PRs and RFPs.

A self-driving Uber-style limo/rideshare service might make sense and may result into less cars overall.

Re:Dropbox closing Carousel and Mailbox on Monday December 07, 2015 @02:38PM (#10692065)
Will Mailbox be open-sourced? [1]

Unfortunately not. We gave a lot of thought to open-sourcing the underlying system, but this is ultimately not something we will support.

Oh man this is sad news. I'm currently using Mailbox as my default mail app on Android. I'll pay for it is there was an option.
Re:How Filipino WWII Soldiers Were Written Out of History on Sunday November 15, 2015 @11:48AM (#10570108)
My grandfather, while studying law in the Philippines was drafted to fight for the United States Armed Forces of the Far East (USAFFE) during WWII.

I guess he was part of the few that got US citizenship as he was able to bring his children and consequently his grandchildren (me) to America.

I am thankful for what he has done so I can live the life I have now. In return I try to contribute to society the way I know best by writing software for startups, SpaceX, and now EdgeCast.

Re:SpaceX Plans to Land Next Falcon 9 on Solid Ground on Thursday April 16, 2015 @07:28PM (#9391354)
That's what Sea Launch used[1].

Note that the drone ship doubles up as a recovery vehicle to ferry back the stage to land. Also a sea launch platform will be a permanent structure while the drone ship's purpose is to be a test platform for landing on land.
