You're more likely to die from a lightning bolt than a 'terrorist' attack. You're thousands of times more likely to die from bad driving habits or being overweight, so why is the terrorist bogeyman given so much concern

Some of the nicest, most helpful people I've met lived in trailers for a time. I wouldn't even call an animal trash. Those who use that term to describe any person, let alone those people, need to check their sociopathy.

Yeah, they built a great thing...I think they sparked a revolution and empowered founders making vcs play fair. But, they're parents now and life is short, as the essay says....

Nobody knew software could be so complicated. Seriously, though, the world would be a better place if Motorola would have evolved the 68000 architecture to win the pc market.

Why did google dislike Nokia?

I read that as theranos on the tech side. What real estate scam are you referencing?

The flaw was that the early online trading systems didn't include provisions for reg-T, which stopped leverage at I think 50 percent of your balance. So, you could borrow hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock with a thousand

I think his story is funnier on this one, and he drops some foreshadowing hints here as to why Trump won, even before Obama's second electoral win: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqUG2_cmZ6I

I've heard that Adobe's poor software engineering has provided a huge malware/virus vulnerability surface for windows. Maybe MS should force them to break/rewrite.

Googles stated mission is "to make the world's information universally useful and accessible." By definition, this would mean to filter out disinformation. Your interpretation of this as an "aggregate credibility index&

So, with the msm thoroughly discredited for all eternity by the events of early November, should infowars be afforded a higher degree of trust than say, the nytimes, reuters, etc?

Yeah, cause there's no need of advice of as to what to do with the product of a life's efforts. You're so fucking dumb it defies imagination.
