Why do only the US and U.K. care?

Your anecdotal experience is not especially relevant to the conversation. It's great your friends think your phone is cool. Literally every person you ever meet in your entire life could tell you the pixel is awesome and that's st

Yeah. It was by no means an unexpected or even unanticipated thing. It wasn't hard to see coming.

Good analogy. I was thinking of this the other day - while technically the big players are in standards committees together and do work on common standards, in practice it's a bunch of corporate maneuvering that bears no resemblance at

Honestly, what I think we're seeing is evidence of an existential crisis in some quarters in Google. There's a lot of people who still believe in "do no evil" and who furthermore believe that part and parcel of that is n

Couldn't you plausibly argue that you're in either case you're constrained - in one, by money, and in the other, by money? If so then doesn't it make sense to pick the approach the best benefits consumers (which this see

What you are calling the gig economy in this case is really a service economy, which existed long before cell phones or SF tech startup silliness. It's not some amazing new step forward for humanity.

That's the Econ 101 textbook statement, not reality.

Remember when browsers were supposed to untether you from the OS? How is operating system support at all involved for a web-based application?

No it's not. See how easy this is?

This line of thinking is I fathomable to me. You do realize that you'd probably have better chances pulling a slot machine handle for a big payout than expecting an early-employee stock package that means anything to a non unicorn. Lon

I suppose this is as good a thread as any to again make the claim that I don't think AI will be anything but a toy before AR is mainstream. For whatever reason right now the fashionable thing in tech is to pretend we don't have in

You don't offer any citations or evidence or proof for any of your claims. How do you know what kind of alcohol is available in Islamic countries? How do you know the pot in the Netherlands is as strong as you say (given you say "

There are enormous swaths of the US where few or none of those things are available. You are fooling yourself if you think those are guaranteed in most heavily impoverished areas and contributing to the overall problem by doing so. In fact

Bear in mind that no it cannot write arbitrary files. It's a unix system, it has unix permissions, and required privilege escalation to write to locations the user is not allowed to.

Oh for fuck's sake. Which is basically what I end up thinking after virtually every Google announcement regarding chat.

Are you not aware that literally every major sport has technical restrictions like the ones you're decrying and have for many decades? This whole thread is full of people staggeringly ignorant of physical sport and competition.

by 1_2__3 10y ago
It's weird to me that you so casually conflate technical advancement with human advancement. You don't see it as perverting some of the basic tenets of sport and competition to encourage rampant technical meddling in them? You hon

I look forward to your evidence of sexism there then, since otherwise any inconsistency is entirely irrelevant to the "strong woman stood up to men" narrative (and please realize I say that as an enthusiastic Warren supporter).

Ah yes the ol' "blame the electorate".

Which is it? Your phrasing implies those are the same thing. They're not.

In this case the enemy of your enemy is a deranged megalomaniac. I'll take the enemy thanks.

I used to agree with you but now I resoundingly do not. The only compelling reason I have left is still quite compelling: testability. Without breaking your code I to subroutines it becomes orders of magnitude harder to test effectively or

So if something isn't offered in every language, transcribed, sign language overlay, CC, and let's say color blind mode... it's half baked educational content? I'm asking honest where you draw the line.
