My observation would be that relationships are not Google strong suit. They don't really do customers or enterprise. Support has been lacking for a long time. They are not even that good at managing their brand considering their popula

I was more thinking of compromising. Making deals is, at least to some extent, what business is about and I don't see the differences as insurmountable. Maybe Google don't play nice with others, but there's firms that do that

While I think the situation is ridiculous, I also can't help thinking that if you're one of the most successful companies in the world and you can't get this done. It's either not that great of priority for you or you&#x

I don't see any problem in considering the good and bad of any technology, its implementation and its effects. I would say it's good engineering practice if anything. More than anything I think premature, excessive and/or mis

I guess that your opinion. The point is when you change the variables you change the outcome and it won't magically be for the better, especially since there's little precedence. It's pointless to loose karma over this on HN

Well. If SpaceX succeeds in its goal of making putting things in space significantly cheaper, they could enable a lot of nasty things like weapons in space, global surveillance systems, increased use of military drones etc.

Of course they are, everything else is just PR at the moment. That said, they are (the first?) global taxi company. No one is surprised that global retailers, like e.g. H&M, have huge headquarters.

"They were fairly qualified but what I found was odd gaps in their knowledge." This very much goes both ways. A lot of recent college graduates lack practical software engineering experience, has overlooked the importance of relat

It's not really comparable though. Most traditional degrees lead to long progressive careers. Practical software engineering can do, but generally doesn't. Other IT fields even less so. Especially since it's a degree heavy fi

Just having your phone searched and the police looking at pictures of you and your girlfriend naked seems like enough of a violation in itself.

If there's anything I take away from this discussion, it is that I miss the days when technology was about technology and people where skeptical about big corporations rather than having some weird personal relationship with them. Thin

I was never that upset about Hackers, but I've had my fair share of laughs at it over the years. I've had some revelations since then though. If you don't document things yourself, you don't get to write history. There j

You somehow think Uber is going to continue subsidize taxi travel forever? Is that what all these investors are putting money into, of course not. The technological mertis of Uber does not take that much money. They might be working on self

I agree with you, but also think we need to understand why this is happening. We know how to build safe factories, but people keep getting hurt in them and once in a while they collapse entirely. If you go to emerging economies or even just

Nice find, I'm not surprised. These "security researchers" on twitter are just playing into the whole security theater. A TSA lock offers no meaningful security. It's not physically secure, tamper evident nor prevent los

"no way of legally obtaining non-DRMed video files of movies or TV shows" Uhm what? I know the studios are doing their best, but fortunetly non-DRMed video isn't illegal yet. Ripping your own dvd, recording from tv, public do

You can't really have a paradigm shift without a foundation. Apple had a long history in software before the iPhone, SpaceX and Tesla have been leveraging the US long history of car and space industry etc. As far as I know the US does

I'm not sure that's such a great argument. We'll all might be making less money if security improves, complexity decreases, more people learn to program etc. Doesn't make those bad things. I personally don't make mo

Somewhat weird statement considering the MPAA is representing the studios and not the creators and, eh, makers.

The tiny locks and keys kind of make it obvious that it's not so much insecure as it was never ment to be secure.
