What's the relationship between mass, rotational velocity and what we can observe?

China is looking at major economic damage from the quarantines. I think their concern is about people staying in, cancelling travel and other economic activity far past the end of the epidemic. I can see a logic to it, but I share your disa

I'm curious what the product-engineering landscape in the company looks like to allow for a language rewrite to happen. I feel like this would be a hard sell in all companies I've worked at. Was this framed as a big bug fix? Or wa

Sometimes bets like these turn out to be huge wins, like Microsoft going into the gaming platform space with the Xbox or Amazon building out cloud services. The Intel app store idea doesn't seem like such an idea to me, but I can see h

You may have misinterpreted the comment chain. It sounds like you're talking about vendor lock-in. They're talking about being locked out of their Google account due to a Google bot incorrectly categorizing their work as spam or a

As someone who spent some time on support, I can sympathize with their closed beta. If you reach too large an audience before you're ready, you could end up treading water because you spend too much time responding to similar bug repor

Design is a broad field. I believe you're mistaking UX design for visual design or industrial design.

Can you truly have free markets in a decades-long timespan? Lobbying to rewrite laws seems like a given for large companies. Free market telecom doesn't seem like an equilibrium.

This really resonates with me. I'm often frustrated with a feeling that I'm saying things to people and yet still not feeling heard. This speaks a lot to what might be helpful.

The protesters announced that suspension seemed like a ploy to wait for a time when the public lost focus and reintroduce it again later. It's a pretty legitimate concern IMO.
