   Ah! Ok, that actually makes a bit more sense... thanks for clarifying! That's actually quite neat then.

   Sarcasm? I imagine that they're not emulating the Linux Kernel on Windows... From what I've gathered from job postings and whatnot, their virtualization system is in line with AWS's (Xen) on Linux.

   I guess the other thread was the one that became the dupe: I'm fairly certain all of 2016 is a mass-hallucination. Or something. In all seriousness though, I don't think this is surprising. Visual Studio on macOS is more surprisin

   Maybe Microsoft will pour a bit of support into WINE?

   Awesome! Way back when, I was a huge Microsoft fanboy, until Mac OS X came out, then I hated Microsoft...then I used a Windows Phone from day one until just before Microsoft bought Nokia. And I own a Surface. Definitely come full circle.

   I'm not so sure about what our future interactions with Google or AT&T will look like, but I do know Taco Bell will win the forthcoming franchise wars...

   I can say, for me at least, it's absolutely worth the investment.

   Your startup has over 300 million users? Operating at scale is functionality that requires a lot more work than a lot of people sometimes realize.

    Wow...and for _years_ I thought I was in some annoying holdback pool... I had UK-English set just for the readable timestamps. Just changed to US-English and Graph-esque searches work fine. Thanks!

    Facebook was also in one of the University Ave buildings for a bit before they moved to Page Mill and ultimately to Menlo Park.

    I lived in Palo Alto in 2012 and even then, Palantir's building collection seemed a little excessive. I'm mostly happy that they're doing well...but every time I've gone back, it feels less like the already-strange downt

    It's also worth saying that most of the cars on this list deliberately don't weigh over 3000 pounds and don't have unmaintainable technology components.

    I'm surprised Call-N-Ride even gets that much ridership. I've never run into anyone who has _ever_ used it. I saw a Call-N-Ride bus in my neighborhood driving in circles and it was certainly a strange sight. This sounds like a goo

    Based on how Walmart's eCommerce has failed to grow I think this is a waste of $3B. Hopefully the Jet employees get a nice payday out of it.

    Walmart would be better off buying $3B of Amazon stock -- eCommerce is not their strong point.

    I think it's 12Bn of investment in eCommerce, which includes but isn't solely Labs.

    Amazon Prime (Video) is backing "The Grand Tour" as well as many others -- they're definitely getting into producing original content.

    SFO doesn't use TSA, they have a private firm doing security. Not sure about Boston.

    King Soopers (Kroger) has it in Colorado, as do a few local ones...That said, I don't know anyone that uses it.

    Twitter's YoY revenue growth is pretty respectable. I don't think they've 'failed to monetize'. (User growth, now that's a different story...)

    I really wanted one of those when I lived in Palo Alto so I could get the Palantir discount at Philz...

    Bummer. I really like(liked?) Rdio. I've been a subscriber for several years -- the UI I find to be pretty good, but their mobile apps are garbage. So, who wants to write up an Rdio -> Spotify migration tool?

    I'm so insanely happy to see this, even with it's minor shortcomings. f.lux has eliminated all eye-stress for me while computering -- it's been one of the only reasons I've considered jailbreaking my iPhone...until now!

    My thoughts exactly! Last year I wrote a paper on Oryx and Crake and found a case of using slightly modified pig membranes/ligaments to repair human ones...We're just getting closer to OrganInc.

    It's not great, but it's certainly better than something like "We've decided to move forward with a new strategic initiative that will involve a synergistic restructuring of our organizations and in that process it'

    Funny -- I find Pivotal to be hands down the best tracking tool I've ever used. You have to conform to it a little more than Jira can conform to you though, but it's not bloated.

    Walmart.com revenue/worth is a tiny, tiny fraction of the whole Walmart.
