The cloud is DRM. I think that and not scalability or anything else is the primary driver for most apps. It's a way of putting your code where users can't directly access it and charging a monthly fee.

They are globally. I put my salary into a global salary calculator once and found that I was in the top 0.4% of humanity. I don't feel it because I live in Orange County CA which is one of the richest in the USA. We measure our status

There's been a number of great bits of research over the past few years arguing that our "strong" housing market is a primary cause of economic stagnation. Let me count the ways: (1) reduced labor force agility as you say (2)

I don't like Ubuntu, but I'd buy one. The real meaning of this is that they've validated the hardware to work against modern Linux.

I dunno... React and React Native are nice. I would prefer to use those for UI but do everything else in C++14 or some other real language. The web stuff could just be the view.

Let's just move all those 80s cyberpunk novels to the nonfiction section and be done with it.

Agreed until you got to the Marx and Mao part, which is a bit "WUT?"

If the allegation is false then Mr. Jurvetson could seek significant civil and in certain cases even criminal penalties. Making a serious false accusation against someone that damages their career is not something one does lightly, especial

This is pretty awful. It would kill the ability for startups to compete with large companies for top talent. There is no way startups can afford the salaries that Google, Facebook, etc. can offer. It would also break the machine that mints

One of the best ways to cover something up is to have someone with "negative credibility" break the story. There's been a persistent rumor for years that some tabloids have ties to intelligence agencies and pretty much exist

Here's a wild speculation: What if Facebook is only doing this to people it profiles as non-technical and therefore unlikely to notice it? Taking the app apart might not even be good enough since in that case those not receiving survei

China has 3x the population, so they ought to end up with 3x the GDP in the end. Per capita is the question.

If that's the argument it's fallacious. China and USA is not an apples to apples comparison. China would need the kind of explosive growth we have seen just to get everyone a refrigerator, while the USA is struggling with the &quo

My brother in law spent 10 years in China doing business and went from "China will rule the world" to "China is Enron." I suspect the truth is between these extremes. China's formula has been GDP at all costs. It&#x

Sophomore developers love to use every single tool and pattern as much as possible. I am not excluding myself as I clearly remember doing this and still catch myself over engineering. This is so true: http://www.ariel.com.au&#x2F

99% is tough for various evolutionary theoretic reasons, but another bubonic plague is a hell of a lot easier. These things are more dangerous than nukes. Any technology for creating GMOs should be regulated and licensed for the same reason

When I was a bio undergrad student I learned once (in discussion with a professor) about a disturbingly simple and effective GMO path to weaponized microbes discovered back in the 70s by some bio-weapons researchers. This was long before CR

We selected their three data center EU region precisely because they were three separate data centers, so not happy. This is clearly bad design. I think we're now going to have to look into multi-provider options. The only way to be so

This is a correction of the previous tendency, which was to take the default assumption that all discrimination was in fact rational and a reflection of consistent differences in merit between sub-populations. We've gone from assuming

Totally agree about XP being the high water mark for desktop, though older MacOSX was good too. The other side of the equation was dev tooling. Visual Studio in the late 90s to early 2000s was a far superior GUI design system before they ri

Desktop UIs were once amazingly consistent and intuitive too. Anyone over 30 probably remembers the standard menu, context sensitive help, standard keyboard shortcuts, etc. This was before abominations like Office "ribbons," skins
