I think in CC BY 3.0, as long as proper attribution is given, license of derivative works can be changed. Licensor cannot revoke adaptation rights, as long as attribution is given, even for commercial use. So the use of WTFPL is fine here,

It is also against the spirit of CC, and also against CC BY 3.0, which Gopher is licensed under. If you don't like attributing, do not use things licensed under CC. It's that simple.

That would be a very complex equation, some variables would be: - Google Ventures operates independently of Google. - How much of the ~1.5 billion fund under management has Google money invested in it. - In the round they lead for Uber, wha

Well, in case of Pocket, I am personally hiring an agent to meddle with the frontend for me. It's like hiring a guy to read newspaper articles for me. This, on the other hand, is a public facing open website. This is like reciting ne

From the top of my head, my content makes no money when one does that. Also, every website with content has terms that states you cannot alter delivery method or frontend of their service. It's like pirating TV shows with a link to Ama

No you don't. You still use your language's standard library. But GAE uses their own version behind the scenes. You code still uses urllib if on Python and net/http if using Go. So in GAE too, you just do it.

I know a lot of these companies are at the MVP-ish stage, but I'm extremely excited about Luna and Nebia. I'll probably be willing to buy those two, along with Pepper [1], and some smart coffee/tea maker by the end of this ye

No outgoing HTTP requests? GAE has URL Fetch API from first day. Also, GAE can now run docker and also connect to MySQL running on Google Cloud infrastructure, which is a separate offering.

No they won't sell the information to Coke. What Facebook does as an advertiser is basically make money off of derivative of surface personal information or a large number of people. Coke would be able to target their ads to you, but w

Not everything worthless to you is worthless to everyone. TV might be a worthless distraction to you, but not everyone. I don't understand how the sell your information argument comes in either. They run their own custom ad network. Th

OK, I'm trying really hard to figure out the $199 price tag. My cheap as dirt N+ router works pretty darn well connecting 12-15 devices at my home. I almost never had problems in years with it. All the smart services Google offers, wor

Yes, by OP I meant the original poster of content . You're a submitter. So all my comments are directed to the author of that post, obviously. :)

It wasn't the Google who killed the startup, it was the OP. YouTube is already a threat to gaming video services, even without a specialized offering. Still, Twitch took off. If YouTube was going to be YouTube of gaming, then OP coul

Because when one is launching an already controversial, highly novel product it benefits in unimaginable ways to start extremely to a limited few customers. Let's see Apple's big, giant successes, and let's see how it benefit

It doesn't work that way. Vehicle companies test their secret products in open all the time. The prototypes don't look much different from a standard market product and are typically in coveralls. Even if you spot them on road the

Apple's three big successes - personal computer, music, and phone. All seemed very atypical of them too. In fact, self-driving cars is very similar to where a PC was with the homebrew club.

Maybe not the other stuff, but I would probably not be surprised if Apple's car required an iPhone or Apple Watch to start. Now that they have NFC it probably isn't a battery issue as well. I'd actually be surprised if it i

This is why C is sort of unassuming in its "sizeof arr / sizeof *arr" pattern. Whenever you write a new type, just write a sizing function for it using sizeof. I like that Go is taking a similar route, except that one just im

I don't think there would be a difference on financials. Alphabet is worth exactly as the old Google, and is currently operating exact same businesses. Separating Fiber is important for other reasons, most notably, saving themselves fr

Look deeper, it looks like a off-the-shelf WHOIS guard. The registrant is "WHOIStrustee.com Limited". They didn't really have to go many lengths. It could be anybody who paid a dollar to hide it.

Not really. Alphabet.com is crashed and is down since the press release. So a lot of people are doing what PG suspected.

This is great. The best thing about Google was their willingness to try interesting things. But the Apple-ification of Google lead them to look like a company suffering from identity crisis, at least from the outside. This will keep Google

If you click through the parent company, you get .tk, .ml, .ga, .gq, and .cf as free options. All their websites look identical. The most famous free domain out there is .ml, the Malay extension because of it's use in machine learning.

This is probably a parallel, but I still think Apple came up with the best, most self-disciplining code of conduct of all times: > We will reject Apps for any content or behavior that we believe is over the line. What line, you ask? Wel

This might be only me, but the images all look fake. A few images do give rich appeal, but that's because they look least fake. Also, the shots of desk with chair look out of proportion, confirming my feeling that images are fake. Look

You can run those commands by cloning that repo. The issue here is that emails can still be spoofed while looking at the commit, without running the command. Why do you think that seeing a username on Github is any different that seeing a
