The only reason Google can be Google is economy of scale. No matter how friendly you make the marketplace for proto-Google hopefuls, they an never even approach the infrastructure capable of making the same product. Telecom and the like are

This isn't Nam Smokey! There are rules! I think if the president of the US is unable to operate within the terms of service, he shouldn't get a platform. Why is that something you're going to argue against? Am I the only one

No, more like the laser pointer dot can move faster than any cat could catch. That doesn't mean the laser pointer wielder is moving that fast.

Well, other than the unbroken history of AMD managing to fail when ahead. Intel is a juggernaut because even if it's not shipping the best, it's always shipping something on time, every time.

Education. The world is radically more educated than in the past. That's not a product of free speech, it's a product of teaching people how to evaluate thoughts they come across in the wild.

Sorry, I stopped considering your argument when you claimed the HHVM wasn't anything other than a crime against humanity. PHP could have died, but no, it got a new lease on life. Hive is a bad copy of a google tech. Buck is a bad copy

FAIR is just an advanced PUBLIC AI research lab. Just because they're the best ones talking about what they're doing, doesn't mean they're anywhere near the best.

Smartest people? Their tech stack is a dated cargo-culting of Google, hell, their newest thing is just using kubernetes with a thin wrapper. Their AI platform is a also ran in pretty much every aspect. Where exactly are the smart people?

The window of allowable discourse in the US doesn't reach as far left as the center of Canada. Most Canadians steadfastly believe in health care for all, and they'll defend that. They might quibble a tiny bit about the edge like &

Is it a data breach if they know that nobody used it?

Man you can really miss a point there. Look at the people saying "All lives matter", then look at the people saying "Black lives matter". Lo, and you are enlightened my child.

Let me explain something you seem to be missing: subtext. Subtext is what is being said without being said. So, when I say, "break a leg" to an actor most people pick up on the subtext, and realize I'm not wishing the actor a

Here's why those are different: One is an abstract affect on your paycheck that may, or may not be real. And the other is a definitive slight against my worth and my legitimacy as their co-worker.

Usually, it's a conservative saying in front of his group of foreign co-workers "I think it's great that Trump is cracking down on all these foreign workers stealing our jobs". Then they wonder why nobody wants to get lu

It doesn't tho. If my co-worker is donating to Trump, and talking about kicking foreign workers out of America, they're literally talking about kicking ME out of the country. They're donating money to a politician who wants

Why would laziness on the part of a single politician invalidate the work of 100+ years of research work on the part of hundreds of scientists?

Considering that the idea of CO2 emissions being a problem for the climate was first suggested in the 1800's, and the industrial revolution started in the 1700's with the invention of the steam engine, I think maybe you're a

I'm not sure I agree. The most important thing about designing large scale systems is dividing the total work flow into self contained pieces with easily inspected separation points. In the grand scheme of things this doesn't have

The best companies I've worked for have been the ones who put a lot of effort into making sure they understand who they're hiring. That usually means a lot of weird questions about topics that aren't related to the technical

Google has been pushing for that a long while, but they've been pushing defensive patents and huge cross license agreements with everyone who will join. This is to keep the damage the patent system does contained as much as they can wh

Patent and copyright law put a lot of stock in the idea that the creator made efforts to protect their investment. If they didn't put this very effort in, their case would be hurt down the road. This is a problem with the IP system, no
