>you are saying the rights of a blob of cells supersedes that of a grown woman. There are many ways to philosophically argue against a 'life begins at fertilization' position. I don't know why you feel the need to assume t

Actually, It is you whose logic is faulty here. Life (according to the commentator) begins when an embryo is fertilized.

Well, offloading responsibility gets you nowhere. It doesn't solve the problem, it simply ignores it. What value is there in aggregation if there is no standard of quality?

Is there a page that actually explains what this is? The linked to page seems to be devoid of any actual content. Is Google going to be covering the crazy costs involved in sending journalists all over the world, keeping them safe, doing in

Calling them a stupid idea that "would just kill the economy" is a rather unsophisticated way of looking at it. But I don't know, maybe you have a well researched opinion and are knowledgeable on this topic. We shall see !

He said he would impose tariffs to protect workers, and hes doing it now. The question is, will they work?

I'd say the assumption that Google has objective results at the moment anyway is faulty. Google's algorithm is regularly gamed, every single day. Its the entire SEO industry's job to influence them. I would say that this is G

Indeed, he was part of a team that built rockets. I even said his role was unclear to me. Can you link to any document detailing his involvement? Edit: Please don't take this as a diss on his work. Just because one didn't play a r

>Unfortunately IBMs history doesn't really provide any evidence of their current competency. I gave current examples of competency. Its trivial to find others. In any case, my point was merely to differenciate services from products

by ksk 9y ago
Those appear to be products - which is different than hiring IBM to develop something for you. IBM has had a storied history in tech from developing/popularizing the PC to OS/2 to their thinkpad laptops, to designing systems for t

That maybe correct, and I have huge respect for John (I've watched and re-watched all of his keynotes and lectures), but we're talking about rockets here. >Elon Musk, who studied aerospace on his own, is building rockets . Joh

Okay, I don't understand the point of highlighting something without explaining why. Could you explain what role that data point plays given that they hold over 90,000 patents?

Whether you learn things online or in a classroom, in some sense there is always going to be a disconnect between academia and industry. Industry is where the rubber meets the road and academia is about abstracting it to a circle and line p

AFAICT, neither of them have designed anything. Elon Musk has an executive role. Carmack's role is unclear. Happy to go through any information you've come across..

Not sure what point you're making. I read the article too.

While what IV has done/is doing is detestable, I think its kind of cool that an individual inventor can simply sell them an idea for money. This may have been the original idea behind IV, but they probably failed to generate any sales

>And this is a private equity play - buy the company. Strip it of its assets, ignore any future R&D opportunities and move on as soon as all revenues are exhausted. How have you established that this is the most likely outcome?

Would you mind linking to the evidence and explaining how it applies to this specific case?

Politeness is optional too, but people still prefer to not be needlessly rude. It is quite normal to balance doing your job with trying to reducing harm to users who had nothing to do with this.

All true, but Microsoft (until very recently) had never tried to grab 30% (or w/e it is) of their platform's revenue through an app store. They bent over backwards for the developers by keeping old obsolete broken apps working on

I'm arguing that its good to 'leave money on the table' if that means doing something positive for the environment or people.

I like toys as much as the next nerd, but how do people see the perceived value of such tools? Personally, I am relatively unconvinced about the advantages of tools like emacs or vim over anything "regular" people use. IMHO Tools

Okay, but you're essentially telling someone whose job it is to produce this data that they're doing it wrong. Maybe they have already thought about this. Its far more likely that techcrunch is misrepresenting the data with their

How did you go from what can happen to what will happen? In the realm of what can happen, you can pretty much say anything you want. As an aside.. AFAIK, nobody ever been capable of producing regulations and laws that don't have uninte
