Regardless of whether you agree with the implied sentiment behind it, it is factually correct in Google's case. They are selling ads. The product is access to people to display ads to, which advertisers are buying. On a further note,

I can’t think of a single technology company in history that has made much of a lasting cultural contribution. Gee, you can't think of a technology business that has excelled in a completely different field that has nothing to do wit

But on the flipside, what if Google decides to adjust their algorithm and demote sites that don't use the appropriate Schema to markup their content? Well then you'd deal with that when it happens. Currently you know google w

Serious question, but why would anyone want to do this? The first example on schema.org is for movie information. If you have a website with lots of movie information, why would you make it easier for google to take your information, cut

I'm amazed anybody could survive 5 hours at those altitudes- the lack of oxygen in the air means someone who hasn't acclimatized to altitude would pass out in minutes.

You can just as well pronounce those and it'll still be valid Russian. It's just that they are commonly omitted, but there's no rule mandating it. Well technically English has no rules mandating anything, since there is no

Once some service controls a significant user base, its priorities start to shift. It's cheaper to make additional investments in advertising to gain users (or convince existing users to consume content you already license) rather tha

I get the feeling she has gained a lot of respect from wealthy and powerful people in general and has quite a few connections. For example, she is also on the newly created 13-person College Football Playoff selection committee even though

As a country, we are having a great national conversation and debate about exactly how to manage privacy concerns The phrase "having a conversation" or "having a debate" shits me off more than any other bullshit speak.

The media hype about Soylent as a total meal replacement that gives you superpowers or something seems misguided. Yes but it was media hype triggered by the guy who came up with it in the first place. He made the claims, not the media.

Actually, I would argue that actively campaigning for somebody be fired from their job for political views is much more bigoted, since you would surely have to be concretely convinced of the superiority of your own beliefs to think that me

I don't know whether this is a joke or not, but what do you expect? Proposition 8 passed. A majority of people were in favor of it. You think those people would just rule out applying the same sort of pressure on mozilla that worked

Hows that working for Yahoo now? Pretty well, considering they are still around more than a decade after they stopped being "cool". They're not trendy in tech circles, they are just a business that makes money. Yahoo and

Well you can't have it both ways. If you put your money in on kickstarter and expect to get a product in return, you have bought the product. You didn't invest. Of course, how much people who put money into things on kickstarter

Even on the desktop/mobile side, I'd gladly pay the $1.05 (or whatever my LTV as a customer is) to Facebook so that I'd never have to seen another ad from them ever again. Since their market cap is roughly $100 billion, tha

Why would you think you absolutely know how this will turn out before seeing it in action? Wait and see.

Sorry, but I (and many others) have actually lives to live and jobs to do. 1000+ karma users are not moderators, and many simply will be too lazy / too occupied to click "endorse" all the time. Well any site with community

I can very easily see this going either way. It's so hard to tell what the effect is going to be before it is tried out.

Number of pixels isn't the primary cost of rendering, unless you are using ray tracing.

Um... every unlikely theory except for one is going to turn out to be wrong, and we don't know what happened yet.

It's permitted provided you ask for permission . It seems unlikely that was the case here.

All they are asking is to arbitrarily specify some other extension as the "primary" extension and have ".m" as another extension. Users will still see the same end result.

Just because a tool can be misused is not an argument against it nor its inclusion. I used to believe this, but now I couldn't disagree more. People can and do misuse things all the bloody time, and the more you enable them to do th

Longest streak for contributions to public repos. Private ones don't show up unless you have access to them.

I'm not thinking of the danger, more the immense cost if it drifts off.

What happens if something hits the cable and it breaks? Does the whole thing drift off into space?

Even more than it not being lost, it's potentially now in the hands of people who stole it and probably want to sell it off.

In practice, doing this will lead to what the author talks about under "Stopping tests as soon as you see winning results will create false positives." It doesn't make your data invalid, but it will generally lead to poor me

This actually leaves you worse off than doing nothing at all. The reason being, once you push out actual content, the engagement with your content will be so abysmally low that facebook won't show your content prominently to many of y
