Virtual resources leveraging from loaning from future generations doesn't take into account natural resources.. don't see how this can hold up in reality..

This was a long time ago, maybe my wording is off, probably along the lines of stopped contributing data to OSM and changed it's license for the data after a certain point..

Agree. What people say and what really motivates their opinion in the topic at hand are not necessarily the same, I find people not being truthful to themselves nor to the conversation, which is really why I find this arguing endevour a was

Ignoring sounds passive but there is nothing passive about telling people their ideas and cooperation is unproductive (be it people from product, RnD, management, QA etc), you spend much time and energy convincing them their ideas are not c

I wasn't meaning to say anything about the "why", just the facts.. For starters, the project I was working on was a success, the other failed.. so its not even comparing the same thing. Just offering my anecdotal story as a

I'm not based out of SF (where I hear it's much easier to get noticed) and my network here in Israel is not so strong that a blog post makes any splash, my concern is that just from looking at the landing page even a technical pro

Thanks, but the product is not SaaS at this time, its on-prem, so pricing is not so relevant.. Docs & other resources will come along with open-sourcing the code

I came to the comments fully expecting first comment to show false advertising. This is what I come to expect from Microsoft, I just don't trust anything coming from their PR department. This can't be good for Microsoft.

You are simply wrong. I am vegetarian now for 10 years, I have been hearing the same de-motivational talk since I started. (but less so now) Ten years ago there were not so many vegetarians or vegans, now Israel (I read) is one of the lead

Your framing of the core issue is all wrong. "the industry" is monetizing on an opportunity it helped to engineer, there is no point in pointing fingers as this by itself will happen naturally. The real takeaway you should be left

The fairer comparison would be Bitcoin vs Visa the corporation, which includes buildings, people, air-con, employee traveling for work, to begin with. Still, let's hope Bitcoin moves away from wasting energy soon.
