Thing is, for the particular example of Maps, data really is king, and both Apple and Google haven't figured out that whole data importation problem. Hence why Google Maps blows outside major cities (roads are missing, horribly out of

To pile on here on a (vaugely) related tangent, Common Voice (from Mozilla) needs our help to build a public speech corpus for training speech recognition software and Text to Speech: https://voice.mozilla.org/ Mozilla is c

Working together is the only way to take back tech from the corporate overlords. We need to support Mozilla's efforts to liberate critical technologies like Voice to text via Mozilla DeepSpeech. Building the Common Voice corpus is crit

We're on OVH for most things that aren't latency sensitive. For things where every millisecond counts for quality, we either find a 2nd tier cloud provider with decent peering to most of our end users in that area, or less common

Lack of IPv6 support is what keeps us off GCP or AWS, HTTP fronting is great, but when it comes to realtime interactive streams to mobile devices, the ability to save significant latency and avoid the hot mess of CGNAT is invaluble.

Something to this effect is accurate. Assange aired war crimes commited by my country to the world that were purposefully and fraudulently classified. Rather than own up to the crimes commited, the politicans at the time chose to shoot the

Ecuador apparently can withstand some American pressure, though it has obviously caused their diplomatic relations to be strained.

So far it has yet to end, which is quite surprising. Sad to see how far my country will stoop to attempt to abscond with a foriegner, he will not have a fair trial if extradited.

I would be seriously challenged to find more than a handful of businesses in Seattle that use any of these offerings. I don't think I have ever heard of these offerings, compared to G Suite there seems to be no marketing of these offer

See, I would be afraid to move to Tulsa with this context. I don't have a firm grasp on the economic outlook of the region, nor the demographics or the culture. Nor do I know how welcoming the citizens in Tulsa are toward gay, athiests

It seems this line is usually drawn based on political leanings by commenters, which is a poor way of drawing said line.

Citations please? We should deal in fact, not allegations.

Please cite proof to back up the accusation leveled wrt Assange. That was all OP asked for, and instead you deflected.

This looks to be a program for a subset of students. I'm specifically referring to giving every student a transit pass. Familiarize them early with mass transit, de-normalize driving kids to school. Even in the well to do neighborhoods

Hah, that would be fitting! Optimizing the data mines from within the same building where data was used to expedite the killing of so many.

I would be hard pressed to find other Seattle businesses that use either of those products, perhaps some marketing would help with uptake.

The status quo is terrible, that is not a good reason to add a "secure" national ID though, it is apt to make the problem of tracking worse.

Don't presume consent or support based on lack of vocal opposition. Queens isn't as high income as Seattle or the part of Virginia that Amazon is in, and the people who live there may just be making ends meet, not paying attention

What does Amazon offer for a cloud office suite though? I have never heard of one despite living in Seattle, where we see all kinds of failed Amazon expansions.

Perhaps the citizens should object, I hear one of their congress critters is shitposting on twitter to that end. If the locals don't want their lives upended by gentrification, Berlin has shown a good example of how to block uninvited

Yep, same tangent/thinking. Reality is IBM & Microsoft have enough contracts and political capital to ensure their continued existence.

SSNs have been terribly abused by private industry. They were never meant to be handled by private companies, but here we are with a non-consentual credit scoring system based atop it. Should people be required to hold a national ID card? I

Credit scores are also a non-consentual rating that a bit more than half of Americans have. Just because it exists doesn't make it just or right, consent was never requested or considered. Worse yet, credit scores are weak proxies for

For many Americans, large parking lots/being carbound are facts of life. Half the land area in non-residential zoned properties is required to be parking in many municipalities, which helps to make these areas unfriendly to commute in

If school starts later, then they may be dropping their kid off at school at 9am or 9:30am rather than at 8am. This makes it hard to get iinto the office in a reasonable time. Its also not quite the same problem for those of us who ride the

Have you been into a Fred Meyer or QFC wearing Amazon branded attire? There are many people who would gleefully help kill Amazon in Seattle, especially those who are seeing their jobs ripped away from them and replaced with non-unionized wo

I think much of this is Microsoft and Apple attempting to retain marketshare. Niether has well maintained, vast software archives like Debian, or instant rollback after a package install or update like SUSE (thanks to btrfs and zypper). Mea
