Google dipped out of rolling their own fiber because all the other ISPs started doing it, so there was no need anymore.

TV networks can and do reject putting on ads that violate a certain threshold of misinformation. As for mail, that's closer to private chat than broadcasted ads so I don't think that's super relevant. They're not talking

Do you need a brand new language to solve that problem though? That sounds like something solved by a FaaS platform that exposes a database and other common primitives out of the box, of which plenty are popping up all over the place. If we

That progressive deployment is neat and all, but I'm not convinced that's a problem that actually existed. More importantly, I'm definitely not convinced it's a big enough feature to drive a significant amount of develop

Sure I can see that logic. But how many people are writing APIs and either 1) aren't experienced enough to figure out how to write a Lambda function (using a wrapper FaaS like Netlify), or 2) are experienced and are willing to sacrific

I think the fact it maintains the "backend/frontend" separation makes it an awkward product solution imo. Dark being a proprietary language means most "experienced" or "full-time" software engineers probab

This is actually pretty good, I especially like that it wasn't afraid to be self-deprecating with the more public failures of Microsoft (Vista, phone, etc.). Well done!

Sure, but that social graph didn't instantly have Tinder. This is built into the Facebook app, you don't even need to install another app. Much easier to get a larger network faster.

So, I'd use this, as someone who has trouble getting matches on dating apps usually. Facebook already has the largest issue for dating apps solved: the network chicken-and-egg problem. Dating apps are non-exclusive, I have 3 installed

I imagine we might be missing some details, but I agree. Seems like business logic would be sufficient if the collision prediction can be piped in.

This is a pretty solid, simple idea, gotta say. Of all the "quick website" apps, this approach seems like it could get a pretty good result from the get-go, given a good amount of social media / website information available

I mean, I agree. It seems like a backwards-facing technology. Smartphones and netbooks are getting better and better processing power, that power should be harnessed, not just ignored. Besides the obvious privacy and security issues, I can
