It goes unmentioned. Definitely not missed. But its hard to get funding or user buy-in if you say that.

The thing is that virus and bacteria don't work magically to harm us. They have to evolve too. Its unlikely that we will awaken anything harmful to us because they simply never evolved the mechanisms to harm us. There are some exceptio

This is why due process is needed. These platform companies should be regulated after a certain size to enforce proper arbitrage. Arbitrarily cutting off people's livelihoods is completely unacceptable. It should be innocent till prove

Ah, but has to be built. That is done in the dry dock.

I really dig the way you guys present your portfolio as "case studies". I've often wondered how to do this myself since showing source is kind of useless and often conflicts with NDAs. I thought about videos and short blog po

It literally is. I've been a developer for 10 years and AWS seems to me like its intentionally designed to be as messy as possible.

Isn't the algorithm a form of censorship in and of itself? It decides what to show and what to hide. Yes, you can drill down to find what you want, but that will either never happen at scale or might be entirely impractical.

Their interpretation of the sanctions is wrong. Individual creators cannot be presumed to be in business with the government. The sanctions only concern people doing business with the government. Adobe's lawyers are idiots and just scr

Pedantic. The world is not America. Actually, the U.S. not America either.

I work in education technology as well and I definitely see what you're saying. There is always a focus on more and more tech... but content remains shitty across the board. Youtubers are lightyears ahead of content providers in the ed

We definitely need platform legislation for the web. After a certain size, they should be regulated as public utilities. So many companies completely depend on Amazon's platform for their business and they're all easy prey for the

Sadly space is super complicated and you can't piggy back on these. To land on one you need to precisely match their speed so if you were to do that, you could already go wherever it was going in the first place.

I think it can be for profit but it needs regulation on how much you can bleed patients for. Selling pills for thousands of dollars when they cost you a dime to make is simply exploitative.

I think its silly to call "anything with an app" a tech company. For instance, uber is a transportation company, not a tech company. They may have been considered tech when they were developing self-driving cars but I think that w

Preach, my brother! SO is on Wikipedia level of blessings to humanity. I wish every profession out there could have a resource like this. People often share negative experiences asking question in SO but really, I can't fathom how that

I definitely poured hours into Encarta as well. I was already a big fan of computers but I do wonder how much of an impact Encarta had on me. It definitely built up that early browsing habit that translated so seamlessly into the web.

They are in a low earth orbit and there is still considerable atmospheric drag in the region. This causes the satellite to deorbit. This was a technology demonstrator and it has completed its mission successfully. It simply wasn't laun

And that sucks. More freedom is good. More taxing won't help more people travel. That is, of course, the intention here. But that's not a solution, its pretty regressive.

Heh, thats a very guilty looking answer. True about the free campaign but that might backfire.

Here's a killer feature everyone wants: I want to put a date range and get the cheapest plane tickets. Big range, I want to find the cheapest time of the year to fly and plan my vacation. Nobody lets you do this.

To me this sounds feasible. We already organize space missions over the 20 year mark. Communicating effectively with another civilization could be taken just as seriously and done in an organized and effective manner. It would take a while

This is completely true. We used to do some development work for a client in florida. They sold all kinds of batteries on amazon. One day, a single dispute brought their whole business down. They had a whole warehouse of employees and they
