I don't understand how the "downtrodden" who rejects help from the government is somehow naive, but the billionaire who votes to have his taxes increased is somehow smart, noble, and a patriot. At the end of the day everyone

In all seriousness, what are the advantages Blockchain has over a public SQL database with limited reads and writes that also maintains a public transaction history? Cause when I hear people talk about the problems Blockchains solves (outsi

I've noticed that the politicians who discuss regulating social media the most are often times the same politicians who've had their worldview challenged recently. In the US we have Democrats using Facebook and Twitter as a scapeg

This would have been very helpful to me about two to three months ago. I was doing an interview assessment during that period and I was required to do it in Scala, although I had no experience in it. My experience with HTTP requests comes m

So what? Businesses are born and die every day. Every major US tech company is being fined in the EU nowadays. Poor EU regulation shouldn't dictate US policy.

What regulations are Google violating? Being a monopoly isn't grounds for fines or antitrust.

by bepotts 8y ago
Yes, because all Google has to do is use their search money to destroy the competition; it's not like Google has any failed products or anything. /s Also, being a multibillion dollar company and using your billions in one product

Exactly. I really don't understand why people try and muddy the waters around Google products. I'm not forced to use Google; Google products are just damn good. Having a monopoly in a market due to the fact that your product is ju

Its largest shareholders are all American, they were founded in America, by Americans, headquartered in America, and almost all it's employees live in America and are American. My guess is that Google considers itself American.

I like that the arguments for OpenStreetMap were more about the advantages over Google Maps, instead of "because Google is a 'bad' company" like so many Google debates delve into. I love using Google Maps for my applicat

The EU definitely "needed" it. Aside from France and the UK, EU countries are pathetic militarily. NATO was originally formed to be a defense alliance of democratic countries against communism and Russia. Russia, while a threat to

It's a leftist/European critique of America. If you don't have free healthcare and free college, your nation is filled with neanderthals.

Even when Europeans critique the United States, they're critiquing the US from the US liberal perspective. > Why do so many sick and injured Americans end up bankrupt or die prematurely? Because we don't have a national healthc

This isn't true at all. The EU is just now starting to think about self defense because of Trump. Trump's insurgence is putting into question the US-led world order and NATO alliances. Without the US, NATO is functionally useless.

People on the internet love to exaggerate how bad living in the US is. The US is a big country and there's plenty of places that most people wouldn't like to live (every country has locations like this), but if you're a tech

On top of what you just said, a new console generation will be started (probably) in 2020. That means that both Sony and Microsoft's console hardware sales will reset to zero. If you're looking to buy the next console, will you pi

Media needs their narratives and to keep readers emotional. It's how they get people coming back. This is one of the reasons why they're losing so much trust.

I'm not the guy who posted, but probably because the book has a conservative lean. Regardless, I think the book is great as well.

How is Hack? Has anyone built anything with it and would like to share their thoughts? How's the HHVM community? I've always thought that PHP was an underrated language that got a bad rep due to whacky design choices and PHP devel

"Everyone" wasn't the literal everyone, "everyone" is the group of people that buy a Windows OS and install another browser. Those people know what a browser is.

Really? I thought they wrote a new rending engine and some other key features?

by bepotts 11y ago
How could they not? You upgrade your OS or buy a new computer, and you see a new application ( that you didn't install ) and you ( presumably ) can't uninstall it. Wouldn't any rational person assume it's a pre-installed

Apple's biggest advantage isn't that Apple is "Apple"; their biggest advantage is that if you own an Apple device, you already have Apple Music. You can't uninstall it or run away from it. Using every other service

It's a music streaming service that integrates downloaded songs into my iTunes library. That's all I needed to move away from Spotify. It'll be very difficult for Spotify to compete. All the other features are nice add-ons.
