This is just a preliminary injunction and the court has not even heard or ruled on this case. They just allowed HiQ to access the data while they wait for the scheduled court hearing to begin. The court may eventually rule very differently

The 'Hire' product just launched today actually came from an acquisition, it was not developed internally by Google at all. It was developed by Bebop, a company Google acquired last year for $380 Million that was founded by Diane

Kalanick has stated publicly that he has not sold a single share - so he has actually taken no money off the table whatsoever.

I don't get it. Asking for civility in a public forum is not a bad thing (HN does it sometimes), and certainly not a factor you should be taking into account when evaluating security devices.

Metabase is awesome - a very polished product for an open source BI tool. Great user interface too.

I'm disappointed American Airlines don't buy all Boeing planes, especially given their name. Although Airbus planes do have some American parts on them, they're mostly European. Considering they got USD$15 Billion in bailout

Subscription necessary. Why post things to HN that most users cannot read because they are behind a subscription wall ?

They're not worth $48 Billion today - they just sold for $4.8 Billion. You miscalculated by $43.2 Billion dollars.

Hopefully .Net / C# is coming soon. I was really excited, but when they announced supported languages/platforms was a little disappointed.

The Telstra LTE bandwidth is extremely expensive too at around $5 per Gigabyte, so their test of just 180GB would have cost about USD $75.

Similar could be said for Microsoft and their PowerBI tool.

There are quite a few of these ladies in San Francisco too. They have enormous bags filled bottles and cans, which can sometimes stink with the remnants of old beer or soda. They ride public transport between locations with their huge bags

Marten is a great product (in real life the Marten is a major predator or the Raven :-) and built on a solid foundation in Postgres. RavenDB has a lot of gotchas at scale, and is one of the big reasons the OctopusDeploy team moved away from

Actually these Uber Volvo self driving cars have been picking up passengers using UberX in San Francisco for weeks. They're easy to spot because they have a huge lidar contraption on the roof and a lot of camera's mounted on the r

They uses SMS text messages, which were subpoenaed as part of the lawsuit, and disclosed as part of the suit filing with the Delaware court. Their communication was not monitored at the time.

This has about as much hype as Ginger (Segway Transporter) did before it was launched. Disrupting multi-billion dollar industries in a single bound, changing the world forever at it's launch. But in reality what it really takes to disr

Really... The fact that many of those apps run on Amazon's FireOS version of Android completely disproves your point.

That was a choice made by Microsoft to enable those services at the app level - that does not take away from the argument that the operating system is open. It's like saying Linux is more proprietary because Oracle is closed and runs o

You still have the choice to use many different mapping applications within an app you create on Android - Bing, Where, Mapbox, OpenStreetMap etc. If you're using an app created by another developer that uses Google Maps as part of its

I too had the same problem with the seat edge - and after a couple of hours it cut off circulation in my legs. Not something you want when you pay $1,300 for an office chair. I found the Mirra to be better.

Yes, it was a brilliantly written article and very engaging right to the end. A great read and I had a real sense of justice done against those two by the end of the piece. That Easter woman was insane.
