Why wouldn't you need a CEO? Manage $1B by committee?

I'm sure the EU would like to know how the UK treats some of these basic matters in light of Brexit and the pending trade negotiations. And generally, historians might want to have multiple witness accounts of what happened.

Not sustainable for whom? If their pension covers the taxes and they can support themselves so they are not a burden on social services or something else what do you care? No country for old men indeed. BTW, I'm mentioning social servi

Interesting how somebody else claimed about the same thing. Yes, but eons have passed, things are different. Should everything else mold to Emacs or should Emacs fit into the overall OS/window manager/etc. Maybe Emacs really is su

I understand, but 35 years have passed, no need to stick to the original implementation that long. I'm a super basic user and nowadays basically have Emacs open all day just for org-mode. Nothing else. To me it seems a terrible text ed

I thought it will be a criticism how everything seems off with the Emacs GUI from the copy-paste to the font rendering to the way scrolling is done, etc. I'd guess it managed to be so cross-platform by re-implementing everything, kin

This is the best and worst thing that could happen for remote work. Some discovered something good for them. But many will forever associate work from home with this pandemic house arrest and will get back among people as soon as it's

There can be only one super power with global social media companies.

Interesting this is not positioned as a civil rights issue too. I understand, you have a developer company vs Apple. But what about people buying these computing gadgets? The millions upon millions of them. Shouldn't they have the righ

Reading the article would clarify that.

Coining up a new catchy term while simultaneously trying to sell your new and shiny thing rings all kind of alarm bells. At least their software is "non-colonial" which is the 1st time I've seen this term applied to software.

You mean the letters of some publicly unknown sympathisers of unsavoury policies back in 1945? They would be of much use to state agencies.

Because a mobile user tracked with native ad frameworks brings in much more money than a mobile user tracked via the web browser. Reddit deserves their Digg moment so much. I shall cherish the day it arrives.

Fundamentally, scale does matter. If you have a small pub in the middle of nowhere you can be a selective as you want. If your pub chain feeds 50% of the people in the country you damn right will have to be heavily restricted in what you ca

Well, for starters he seems quite in favour of a Western Great Firewall except this one will be used for Good(TM). And although the current US government is pretty bad, Microsoft should buy their own social media platform which is being oth

This is a terrible interview and Gates comes across like duplicitous. Like, where to start? Somebody save this one before the edits.

The press release is also quit unilateral. If Google wants a 70% discount and the others are not agreeing then clearly no agreement can be reached and removing that music is just the logical next step. Maybe the negotiating party assumed Go

Oddly enough the Casio classics are starting to have quite a premium here due to the retro look. I've seen as capable digital watches at 1/3rd the price at the local Decathlon. Casio is milking their legacy quite a bit.

On the contrary, the current tech bro pretty much loves Microsoft ever since the cool CEO took over and deeply distrusts Google.

Microsoft did and continues doing that, correct? I don't remember any article on them stopping that or even explain what telemetry contains.

We like ascetics going in the wilderness to live in caves. So, without kidding, go you! But some screenshots of that would have helped the article. I wonder if the Stallman setup of getting emails wouldn't be about the same given the a

With every account the user is a point of failure. Just like Twitter users can also fall victim to social engineering. On top of that, it's possible that some Mastodon instances have weak security. But others will not. So there will ne

I'm out of the loop but is GPT-3 a pre-trained model like RedNet is for images? If such how can it be used easily? The article mentions getting access to an API, so is it an online service? Or, there's the pre-trained model (pleas

I didn't know that. But in a way this further proves my point. How can one be expected to "stick to one's lane" when you have to check on each and every "expert" out there. It is quite valid to think by oneself

Is Nobel laureate Luc Montagnier not science worthy enough to give credit or what is your point? Or is science a democratic forum where the most votes win and not facts? If it's not facts but guesstimates then everybody has equal input
