Should we also legalize protection racket, human trafficking, kidnapping, contract killing?

That's anecdote, not data. Having 10 examples doesn't validate your point. And for the a16z stuff you quoted, the first paragraph says "10 ways to damage your fast-growing tech startup". Thanks for classifying Google as

Precisely. If they're really committed to selling people clean computers, they should only include OS and device drivers.

I'm saying in this case. Doubleclick accounts are usually for ads.

Can attest to that. Freedom from oppression is sweet.

Probably a combination of immigration reform + remote developers. I'm a software developer originally from a rogue nation, so living in SF bay area is really awesome.

That is not unreasonable for modern software. You don't need 2GB of RAM to use it.

That was not what happened. Andy Rubin worked on Android since 2003. It's not that unusual to want to work on something else after a decade.

No Google Account has been hacked. They're just aggregated leaks from random compromised websites. If you don't re-use passwords, no action needs to be taken.

Why do you need a preferred platform for personal projects that are not serious? Some very successful start-ups rely almost exclusive on Microsoft technologies, like StackExchange.

Fidelity Amex offers 2% cashback on everything, and CapitalOne Silver offers 1.5% back on everything. So I'll say that anything under 2% is unsustainable. But there's another guy who claims to have negotiated for 0.4% processing f
