Feb 08, 2:00AM

vr Virtual reality is poised to fundamentally transform personal entertainment as we know it, potentially delivering a long-term impact that may exceed today’s most “disruptive” new technologies.

YC-Backed Yhat Gives Data Science Teams A Head Start

Feb 07, 11:07PM

Head with gears over data background. Yhat founders Greg Lamp and Austin Ogilvie were working with a team of data scientists at OnDeck, a successful small business loan startup, when they noticed a problem.

Search Stops Here, Starts Afresh On Mobile

Feb 07, 4:00PM

stops When Yahoo started, it was just a flat hierarchical directory of new sites on the web – “Cool Site of the Day!” was actually a thing.

What You Need To Know About Zero Knowledge

Feb 07, 2:00PM

zero-manifest Anonymity? Privacy? How quaint. We live in a world bedecked with ever more cameras, ever more sensors, ever more drones, ever more data, ever fewer things that can be hidden.
