That’s basically the footprint of 1500-2000 employees. A FAR cry from the 25,000 they were planning for HQ2. This is just normal expansion or office moves.

It’s really sad to see the anti-success rhetoric. I was around during the “search wars”, and what’s usually forgotten is that well, they were by far the best behaved as a corporate entity. This “romantization” of this ideal state, devoid of

Facebook’s privacy faux pas will be nothing compared to a company who’s government can request any of users data (Chinese or not) with zero oversight. We are in for a wild ride as major Chinese companies start building successful global com

"as someone stated"... Google has never released Youtube numbers, so I can't say that. I will tell you that youtube is the dominant video platform on the internet. You do realize Youtube shows ads? and those ads are part of g

It took amazon over over 6 years to do so though. EC2 was released in 2006. Amazon.com last non ec2 server was 2012. But a lot of features of amazon.com still don't run on the main AWS offerings. GCP has not been out for that long. Als

“Immigrants contributing greatly is not an established fact” Funny thing to say about a country made up of immigrants... Let me guess, you’re not from nyc. You should visit Ellis island sometime. It IS the US immigration that has made it wh

So I'll preface this by saying, I agree with the "It cost [me] nothing to respect someone's self-identification". I'm fully ok, and actively use gender pronouns as people wish. I respect self identification. But, as

No, being clear, since it seems you aren't separating concepts. You're not happy that these companies have SINGLE large shareholders. That the founders kept so much company equity. I FULLY AGREE no one should have that much wealt

Have you actually look at wages in other industries? Why are we focusing on the companies that actually do PAY ABOVE. how about we focus on the industries that UNDER pay. Someone getting compensated many times the average income is not the

How about we compare to engineering wages in other companies with similar profits? Pretty much any other large engineering company. Or how about the oil industry? where profits are higher, the risk to life way higher, yet engineers make 80-

you're right. But there's MANY other companies making similar profits.. yet not of them pay anything similar? I think you guys can't separate your dislike for these companies, with an actual, thoughtful analysis. Most oil com

So while this is bad... I don't know how to feel about this. The other side of the coin is that these companies pay WAY ABOVE average salaries. I'm intimately familiar with this having FAANG companies average of 50% more compensat

The even sadder part about this article... Buzzfeed does this worse. So it's not only the "pot calling the kettle black", it's someone calling someone out on things they do better than themselves. Reality is, that both G

I think my point is that the "bombardment" of ads is partly in due to the lack of monetization. There's a bit of a difference between print ads, and intrusive online ads. For example, you could turn the page... there was not

I'm probably as leftist as you can be (and agnostic)... but this trend is a bit ridiculous. Some in the left are becoming as intellectually dishonest as some in the right/conservative side. You may dislike religious doctrine, but

Would you put your money where your opinion is? You can demand your attention back, but are you willing to pay for the content you consume? I say this in earnest. We had great content in newspapers and magazines... and the world decide that

I could not agree more with this. The reality is that Cloud Computing is the biggest threat to OSS at the moment. ( as my comments on this show lol ). I'm a big proponent of the idea of elastic computing. My fear is that the current &q

Agreed. I got so much downvote in the last story about Apple banning Facebook enterprise certs, because I thought it was an unevenly applied rule. But in reality, to yield this kinda of power, you MUST apply it equally and fairly. Apple has

But they don't, and they certainly play favorites. - So far, they have taken no action to Google's similar behavior ( and yes, the removed the app, but after Facebook was punished ) - They had a huge privacy bug with Facetime that

(replying to the reply of my comment, since threading doesn't go further) Do you think apple does not have reports of the number of users that have apps installed via an enterprise cert? That's pretty much the basic type of stats
