What is a VLM?

If it is a public company, their SEC filing should reveal how much they paid for the acquisition.

Adam made an episode explaining medical costs and why it is so high. It will at least give you a different perspective into the system.

So adding on to the labor/fixed cost increase, prices are just inflated since insurance pays for them anyway. In India, people don’t really consider insurance for such routine work due to the hassle of processing the claims too.

I think this is a good link to another article I read recently talking about what makes a good CEO. It is not about whether a CEO makes a decision, but how quickly he can make it despite the lack of all the data and convincing the rest to follow him.

Arguments/discussions are good, but a strong leader is needed in the end to draw a conclusion and figure out an execution plan.

To be honest, bluetooth was not that reliable until recently. With the new 4.x versions of Bluetooth, things are a lot more stable with audio devices. So I wouldn't blame Jawbone alone.

How about an option to organize family as a family tree? That's something I'm looking for currently.

What happened to Geohot? Any links?

This is interesting. Can we use custom headers/auth when setting up the APIs for health checkups?

This has been a big discussion point everywhere - about shocking this behavior is and how people's lives are at stake. But let me offer an alternate perspective, and maybe some insight into their behavior.

If you lose your ID or any other official documents in India, everyone knows how much of a hassle it is going to be to get these documents reissued. Of course the possibility of bribes to move the papers. Insurance claims for lost baggage? I wouldn't rely on it. It might take them a while to save up to buy whatever they might have in their bags too. Laptops, tablets etc. They probably don't earn that much to begin with. This is probably what ran through their minds.

Yes, lives are more important in the end and every second counts in such a scenario. But as an individual they might think - hey, it takes a few seconds to grab my bag and jump out. That would save me SO much trouble. Unfortunately that's what everyone thinks and in the end everyone goes for their bags and waste precious time.

I don't think I’ve ever read a tech blog post that was so gripping, with twists and turns AND ends with a cliffhanger (until you click on the link to part 2)

Amazon RDS is the managed version of Postgres (among other flavors of relational DBs). Maybe you are confusing it with Redshift.

Yes, the OP mentions in his post itself that all ISP customers get the same message from Airtel.

I'm a little confused.

Map shows very few countries - no Singapore as mentioned in the article

Also the article mentioned 190 countries at one point and 130 at other places. Moreover, Netflix claims it has 70M subscribers across 130 countries. How is that possible if they just launched it?

Our entire data processing pipeline is actually written in perl (that is several 10s of thousands of lines of code). So is the subcomponent that actually pipes the data to Geckoboard.
