CEOs don't get to break the rules just because. These kinds of restrictions exist to protect consumers (and their data) and the business legally from liability, etc.

I think we can agree to disagree on which is worse. The next president is making a bunch of public actions that will be critiqued, audited, and probably checked / balanced as the government was set up to do. The CEO of reddit is SECRET

Technically, sure. But, usually a company of this size/scale puts in place restrictions so that accessing privileged abilities like this is extremely difficult and requires authorizations / clearances / permissions from users

The title of this post is pretty deceptive — it clearly implies that the Fiber project altogether is being halted. My understanding from this article amongst others is that they are simply rethinking their approach to, rather than laying do

Epic PS: Pro-tip, add a middle initial to your LinkedIn - the guys using auto-fill without even looking are an easy filter since it is part of your first name.

I understand your sentiment, the reason that this is such a stigma in the industry is because if you do have the ever-elusive, ever-exclusive, high performing team - a single person who doesn't fit in (not saying in what aspect, could

Amazing program that pairs you with a top-tier tech startup as well as exposing you to a great network of industry professionals and other young engineers!

I see your point, but Steve always seemed to think Android never stood a chance anyway. He didn't have to say WHY Apple was better than Android, he just pointed out some major (philosophical, not product) negatives, as you say the porn

Tim Cook has been uncharacteristically (well, for Apple, not for himself) direct in stating that Google is their top competitor and making implicit jabs at their business model. On the other hand, what this also says (to people who like awe

Google never ceases to amaze me for taking the initiative to really pursue and commercialize these things. If people are interested, here is a relevant research paper in IEEE about the massive potential contact lenses have to mate technolog

Google is probably one of the biggest single contributors to pushing the web platform over and has been the largest contributor to the webkit project until they recently forked it into Blink. Apple is great and all and probably everyone wil

Yup, this. Don't see any benefit other than more granular time controls which seems like overkill for a simple silence-or-show notifications switch.

I started using evernote's web clipper to just save all articles, blog posts, etc that I read. Clipping the articles easily stays under the free tier and that way I can easily sift through tags and search to find articles I read in the

Very interesting... Any chance that this will mean the Govt can't subpoena data from this data center if it is floating far enough from the US coast? Or does it not matter because clearly the US will be the closest harbor?

Pro tip: wait to do the assassination missions until after you've completed the main storyline. That way you can invest the players' ~25 million in the stocks you are directly affecting and make bank. You supposedly can also game

Two points that have me confused: 1) I don't fully understand how Android is stifling innovation in local-mobile services simply by having a dominant market share. From where I am standing (which admittedly, is in android's favor

The problem is the response to that is almost always "Oh you mean like ______?". The answer to that is almost certainly no, but you can't really say or explain why unless you reveal too much about your startup at too early a

Thanks for sharing :) I find Google+ to be useful for sharing photos with people who are not on Facebook, because it still allows you to share with an email address and it works pretty well. Not sure how to do this in FB, but I bet there is

I'm curious, how many Facebook friends do you have approximately? Two years ago I removed 600 friends, and now I still have 1200 again -__- I think none of the networks are perfect, but I don't use Google+ only for personal connections. The

The thing is, despite it being "pretty good business" it is not what most people want from Facebook. Facebook's "good business" practices are basically conflicting (inverse relationship) with the quality and usefulness of the product from
