I think Google should allow neutral public access to their 100,000 mile private fiber optic network. That would really send a statement that they were serious about network neutrality.

Everyone is a "troll" when they are suing you. When you are suing other people they are thieves stealing your innovation. These lawyers are doing great work by creating a market that allows innovators to profit from their work eve

> There is no conspiracy Aren't corporations, by definition, a conspiracy to make money? Conspiring to make money is what an investment bank exists to do. It would be dereliction of duty if they weren't conspiring to make money

If it prevents you from making money it is still a problem. If you develop for something that is not ad based you need to be aware of and test for these issues.

The stickers are there because they sell these things on store shelves to people who actually care about the hardware they are buying. They aren't that hard to take off.

Sorry, I was just making fun of the tendency for commercially interested parties to push their products as energy solutions while not asking the kinds of questions that you are.

The problems with this article are legion but what I want to know is what the real contract terms were? I know Musk promised the 100-days or free thing, which makes a nice headline, but I really doubt that is what the actual contract says.

What about the environmental costs of these batteries? Have reserves been made for the cost of safe disposal? If you say that one technology is environmentally destructive and must be replaced but never bother to evaluate whether or not the

In reality it is Google, Apple, and Microsoft who decide what web technologies will be implemented and users who decide what browsers to use. Pretending like the W3C could actually change anything by not ratifying this is ignoring the reali

Gitlab is great. It took 5 minutes to install and has run flawlessly since. I was blown away by how complete, fully featured, and easy to use it is for a free product.

I do. Facebook peaked and is decline in its early markets but still very strong and growing in other parts of the world. Interesting question is do they actually make any money in emerging markets and are those billion users actually an ass

They are much better but they are still basically the same designs as the late 90's. A lot of things have improved but most of the problems are things that were recognized before and still aren't perfect. They still need to get sm

That is a good solution for kube thanks for the reference. My situation is a bit different: hosting a bunch of subs on the same servers. With one wildcard I have one server conf with one cert and use the hostname to rewrite each request to

I was being serious even if it came off flippant. There is no way to be 100% certain of your security with a system as complex as a computer so if you need 100% certainty then you have to assume you are compromised, even if that is a very l

"After delivering 25,051 vehicles during the first quarter" ... they delivered 22,000 vehicles in the second quarter. That sounds like a 12% decline to me. It sounds like a 12% decline to Goldman Sachs. I am not sure what you call

I think Tesla's and Elon Musk's response of publicly attacking this woman almost certainly indicates that they are at fault. If this woman's claims were false they would do best to keep quiet and wait for the legal process. T
