I definitely agree there is a negative ROI in areas like SV, but I would argue rather than trying to solve the problem with remote work, tech companies should seek cheaper cities. There are states with major metro areas that are in desperat

There is value in face-to-face conversation, and while software solutions like Google Hangouts help bridge the gap to some extent, they don't eliminate it entirely. There may be some advantages to yield with VR, but even at its current

I'm actually rather surprised that companies like Google aren't offering solutions to integrate ads into the delivery of the page content itself rather than JavaScript at this point, as it's pretty easy to block the specific

It's interesting. I conducted an experiment on various forms of social media using a form of advanced chatbots of my own creation and found similar results. I'm not surprised to see others found the same results by different means

I think we read a different FAQ, or I'm misreading your link. The FAQ says that if Facebook sues _you_ for patent infringement and you counter sue for patent infringement that they won't revoke your license, but I don't see a

What about removing a user from chat? What if the shared key is leaked? How do you deliver the key to the new user? Who provisions new keys if a shared key is leaked? There are a variety of problems (all solvable/already solved, yes) w

> Bot retweets tend to cascade, too There's a reason for that. Twitter offers an API to get a massive stream of tweets. They used to provide it in various sizes, leading up to what was called the "firehose". Now they only
