Gmail is just one company's implementation of an application layer sitting on top of SMTP. You are free to use any other company's implementation or even host your own and you will still be able to communicate with all other exist

Or a tweet. That is how most official communication is handled these days, right?

I don't think either are disingenuous. It's more so short-term vs long-term thinking. The influx of low-skilled immigrant labor is a "right now" issue whereas The level of automation needed to make them obsolete is optim

Ehh I feel like this is a little murky. I am having a hard time finding a precedent, and IANAL so maybe one can chime in here, but illegal contracts are unenforceable. Therefore if laws regarding Internet regulation were to change such that

GitHub was relatively independent in that hosting git repositories was the only product that it sold and it didn't clearly favor any sort of tech stack. Now, MS says that they will not remove any of the existing functionality, but thei

Yes, Apple gets most of the parts for their devices from 3rd parties but they work hard to obfuscate everything. They get their own part numbers for everything and often times even special firmware images for controllers that cause those pa

They are not wrong though... Does Trump deserve a Nobel prize? No. However, I do not believe that Obama deserved a Nobel either.

One comes to mind for me. At my office, people will often leave snacks, leftovers, or just food for the office on a table for anyone to take. It's within the realm of possibility that someone may leave their lunch unattended on the tab

No, not at all. It is more akin to you selling a backup copy of the book that is bound by a lock. The people that buy your version of the book must either already have the key to unlock it or buy it separately.

I think this is the important distinction. These "codeless" tools really just shift the inherent complexities of software development instead of getting rid of them. Anecdotally, I had much harder time learning how to read/un

You do realize that FB has been designing their own servers for years, right? Also, what does personal data privacy have to do with silicon design? I know that FB privacy rules are a hot topic right now but how does that have anything to do

Tesla is not proof of that. Tesla is an EV company from the ground up. They also do not have the capacity to produce vehicles at the rate of companies like BMW, Mercedes, Honda, etc. Moreover, car companies do not have "infinite cash r

Being tied up in a lawsuit does not grind a company to a halt. Most of the Fortune 500 is probably getting sued right now for some reason or another. Also, when a company loses a lawsuit, the court doesn’t automatically debit the damages fr

The memo was not some sort of mass email sent to all employees. It was posted on an internal message board that was purposed for discussion and peer review. The media is absolutely to blame as they blatantly doctored the original document w
