It's likely that variation in productivity accompanied the rise in productivity. You're not much more (in real terms) productive than a bored teenager in 2013 than you were in 1993, but the most productive people in 2013 may be an order of

I think a lot of the negative experiences can be avoided if you try to stay in ChromeOS as much as possible. I think some of the hardware issues are also device-specific as I have an Acer C7, and I haven't run into any of the issues he's me

This was basically my point. I enjoyed the article, but I think arguing against the point without questioning the underlying assumptions takes effort and attention away from building the future rather than reassuring those who are scared of

The vast majority of the 13,000 are going to be CSRs and CSR support staff/management. The actual development team will be small in comparison.

The blackjack games most casinos spread don't allow for a positive expectation, even when counting cards, and any card-counting software would obviously be banned by any casino. It's already against the rules to use your phone at the table,

It's been a couple years since I played roulette in the US, but in the UK/Europe you can definitely still place bets for a few seconds (maybe 5?) after the ball is released.
