And the kicker: even if economy goes bonkers, by depleting the seas and causing the crisis you've put yourself in position where you're the one buying all these deeply discounted properties.

You would think this to be shortsightedness or outright stupidity... Until you realize, that depleting your fish stock quickly and putting the resulting wealth into the stock market will yield higher total wealth than fishing sustainably. W

"Serverless", or "App Engine" as it was called for the few years prior the hype, actually delivers pretty good results for a range of parameters. It might even be a wider range of parameters than the ones where the resul

Even if I went through the trouble of finding where he described it, you would get a pseudonymous guy on the Internet saying a thing, instead of a pseudonymous guy on the Internet mentioning an anonymous guy told him something. So, well, ap

About a third of the population, myself included, can't really watch 3d movies on flat screens (hardwired focus to crossing in the brain). Having all the marketing try very hard to shove into my face a feature that literally gives me a

An acquaintance attempted that with Kindle, by keeping it in flight mode. After some days it popped up a message kindly asking to give it some network access. After a few more days it simply ignored the flight mode and connected to get fres

Where have I said it's for privacy? Google is actually pretty good for privacy, as seen from the inside. I'm using it for private things at work to not entangle between corp and private and at home for consistency. I also have bee

Ideology: as a tech person, I don't want the protocols to be defined by a single entity. Many Googlers agree, even if we also know this could result in faster progress. Less constraints: Firefox does not need to block release of a ne

I work at Google, but use Firefox for all my private things... Except when I run into a page that's broken in Firefox. And except when I need developer tools. And except when I need the browser to translate sites for me. And except whe

Well, the guild was apparently rather secretive. At the very beginning Paul, upon entering the heighliner says he might be lucky to see a guildsman... To which the Duke (or Yueh? Some other caregiver?) responds with panicked hushing.

As a consumer, at least in Europe, I have a bunch of rights executed via the retailer. If I have a serious doubt the retailer will be around in 2 years, I'll choose a different one. This should limit Shopify's prospects of interna
