The Holy Grail of Web Scale
Feb 09, 2:00AM
With customers demanding access to goods and services where and when they want, and servers deluged with requests, concurrency and expectations of responsiveness, organizations of all types are focused on building “web-scale” systems.

Feb 08, 10:15PM

Feb 08, 10:00PM
Data is hot right now. We generate tons of it, but most of it sits there, latent, unused and useless. This is particularly pronounced when it comes to health and fitness data, where we strap on our fitness trackers and expect the pounds to melt away with each step passively logged. But we haven’t seen a dramatic improvement in our nation’s health with the emergence of the… Read MoreApartments.com, Mobile Strike & Amazon Scored The Top Spots Among Tech Companies' Super Bowl Ads

Feb 08, 5:00PM
On April 4th, Y Combinator cofounder Jessica Livingston will host the third annual Female Founders Conference at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, an event meant to empower female founders — and those who aspire to become them – though a powerful line-up of women who’ve been there and done that, so to speak. Among the speakers at this year’s free, half-day event… Read MoreGil Penchina On What It Takes To Build The World's Largest AngelList Syndicate
Feb 08, 4:30PM

Feb 08, 2:58PM
It used to be hard to take IfOnly very seriously. The 3.5-year-old, San Francisco-based company service has always serviced customers looking for unusual experiences, but they seemed out of reach for most, like the (expensive) chance to cook with famed chef Thomas Keller. That the company was inspired by the wealthy friends of founder and CEO Trevor Traina — people… Read MorePartnering With 76ers, StubHub Moves Into Direct Ticketing Sales
Feb 08, 2:13PM
StubHub, long considered to be the leader in secondary ticket sales for events, is getting into direct sales of primary tickets through a new partnership with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Feb 08, 2:00PM
The goal is to create a marketplace that sells items at the real market price. Sounds great. As the buyer of a lot things through the Internet, I’m all for fair prices. But will sellers buy into the service, too? Called StockX, the site is a so-called “stock market of things”, offering items for sale priced using live market data.
