| rantnrave:// I think too much. Way too much. As they say: "an idle mind is the devil's playground." Well, sometimes an active mind is just as terrible. Especially at bedtime. My head just swirls with a random mix of work, life and imagination. Like a DALI painting and a long range plan in a blender. It's driven me my whole life but comes at a cost. My friend FRED WILSON also has an active (and smarter) mind. Sometimes he tosses and turns. But he suggests writing it down to calm the seas. Going to think about that as a solution. Oops, see what I did there? Too much thinking... Jury sides with HULK HOGAN in GAWKER case. Protecting the disgusting, cruel, mean, unethical and immoral comes with the good stuff. That's how it works, right? Like biting into a bay leaf in a really good stew. Thoughts here and here?... I love to travel and travel well. But sometimes the room service bills make me feel like a schmuck. And I'm a breakfast for dinner guy. So if they don't do that, I won't stay there again... Were you a "weed MACGYVER?"... ALI G and TRUMP and "Errors, Exaggerations and Flat-out Falsehoods"... Happy Birthday to JON STEINBERG, VIPIN GOYAL and PADDY COSGRAVE. | | - Jason Hirschhorn, curator |

| Artificial intelligence is breathing down our necks: Software built by Google startled the field last week by easily defeating the world's best player of the Asian board game Go in a five-game match. Go resembles chess in the deep, complex problems it poses but is even harder to play and has resisted AI researchers longer. | |

What's happening in America? What does it mean to be an American? These are questions defining a campaign unlike any other. For nearly 35 days, we crossed the nation looking for answers. This is what we found. So much anger out there in America. | |

Is it a new frontier in the fight for racial equality or a below-the-belt effort to gain advantage in business negotiations? TV carriage brawls between programmers and distributors have long produced heated rhetoric when battles go public. | |

The voters have spoken. In convincing fashion, Republican voters seem to be selecting Donald Trump as their nominee. And in a democracy, victory has legitimacy to it. Voters are rarely wise but are usually sensible. They understand their own problems. And so deference is generally paid to the candidate who wins. | |

Founders don't take no for an answer. But when their product is in the marketplace to no acclaim, to little adoption, they pivot. He who is invested in the present will get lost in the future. Founders remember when they were broke, what it took to gain traction, managers can do only thus. | |

You've probably heard of the Cordon Bleu. The Cordon Bleu is the cooking school in Paris-now expanded to over 50 schools around the world-where Julia Child learned "the art of French cooking." Its name is synonymous with all things fancy, French, and food. | |

I can't see you, so you can't see me. Adblocking has alarmed both publishers and advertisers. For the former it means that total impressions served are not reflected in the amount of ad inventory available for sale. For the latter, the cost takes the form of lost potential reach rather than a direct financial penalty. | |

Marbella isn't the place it used to be. The criminal caliphate of the 1980s has receded in public memory, overshadowed by a kind of carnal Hunger Games where primped teenagers buzzed on jello shots wrestle each other for pole position in the mamading line. | |
