Should be the big winner as the big guys move off of GitHub. Hopefully they will all go to a common site. Finally had a single site and MS destroys it.

It sucks. We had as you said a neutral site everyone used. Now the big guys will move their code. Hopefully we will get a new common GitHub that is neutral and they will use. Sounds like it might be gitlab. Just wish MS could have left

Horrible news. Swear MS does not want us to have nice stuff. Wonder where the big tech companies will move their projects to? GitLab? We finally has a single, neutral site for code and which everyone uses and MS messes it up. I do hope o

That is not true. They had an opportunity to get the Google technology basically stollen and had nothing to do with Google offering or not offering. Now Google called them on it their hands are tied as can't do on their own. I suspect

Google is not in China because the China government tried to hack Gmail accounts so they left as the right thing to do. But I think you know this?

MS buying GitHub will be one of the worse things to happen to the industry in a long time. But should end all discussion that MS has changed. FB, Google and the other big tech companies that contribute so much will have to go elsewhere and

But with the latest news that MS is looking at buying GitHub demonstrates nothing has changed at MS. Instead of helping and pushing the industry forward like Google does instead we have them hurting the industry. They buy GitHub and we wi

Not surprised. Would rather they got back to creating great products to generate growth like they use to.

Wow! Major kudos to Erlang. Have found it an enjoyable language to code. Well Erlang and have been also enjoying learning Rust.

The issue is there is a poster that goes by "ocdtrekkie" for some reason has post a number of times things that are not true and pretty much only posts things that are not true around Google in a negative light. Not sure what dr

Can I reply to posts by "ocdtrekkie" that are not true about Google? I mean basically every post he shares is something negative about Google and in best case is a half truth. I would just like to see things be accurate. I am an

All comes down to doing what is right or what makes you more money. Google staying in China would have made them a ton more money but giving up user data to the government was not acceptable for them. It was for Apple and making a buck.

That is NOT true. AMP is a lot faster in most cases. "Why AMP is fast" https://medium.com/@cramforce/why-amp-is-fast-7d2ff1f48597 But why the half truth? Can you share the back story?

Talented engineers do have a choice but Google has been the most desired place to work for a very long time. In the last 10 years they have been the #1 place to work 6 of the last 10 years. http://fortune.com/best-companies&

Of course companies have ethics and morals. Companies are run by people. Google more than most if we look at actions. The biggest was leaving China over principle and losing out on a ton of money versus Apple handing over their user dat

Not true. Here is the agreement which was updated in April 2018. https://abc.xyz/investor/other/google-code-of-conduct.html Google wanted to emphasize so they put it on the last line that you read with the docume

The core difference is I can use an apk without any trouble. But this is not the first time we can see a difference between how Apple and Google conduct themselves in these situations. Look at China. The China government tried to hack Gmai

Doubt you will see them pull back. Glad they don't and keep pushing. The big one was yesterday ordering 62k cars for the Waymo ride sharing service.

Was curious for the world and looks like the top 2 are the same, Google search and YouTube. But then Reddit is 6 but climbing fast. "This is a list of the most popular websites worldwide " https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2F

We have App numbers separately and the latest numbers had Google owning 5 of the top 10 used in the US for both platforms, iOS and Android. FB had 3. MS and Apple interestingly did not have a single one in the top 10. http://ww

A bunch now a days. One of my favorites is Siraj Raval. He does them on AI or ML specifically. Then a bunch others in the technology space including several from Google are very good. Usually also watch most of the Google I/O vide

In 2000 the answer would be no. In 2018 I think it is. Things change in a time when you would freak getting up in the morning and say google.com did not work.

Really Alphabet has the cards and will have to decide if want to give access to the Waymo cars or not. Did think Waymo more interested in the Android model versus the iPhone model.
