Wasn't Steve Jobs' idea to have Web Apps for Iphone but Iphone team talked him into native apps for various reasons such as performance and security and he finally gave in. I would assume the same for desktop versus web apps but a

Believe it or not Android was response to Microsoft's Windows Mobile(Windows Phone) and not to Apple's Iphone. Google was afraid at the time that Microsoft will release it's own "smartphone" and put Bing(Windows Liv

Matt Cutts Google's infamous SEO boss, you know he was only doing his job and trying to rank literally millions of websites on the internet. Ranking algorithms are black box btw no way somebody will completely understand them any time

Yea it matters. If monopoly was achieved through market competition then fine, if it was achieved through destroying other companies then it is illegal and unfair. But once dominant market position is achieved company still needs to behave

Google's dominant market position was achieved through market competition not through impairing the ability of smaller companies to enter markets. Even in Google Chrome you can pick DuckDuckGo and Ecosia as your default search engine.

Zuckerberg is really desperate paying $400m for this, this is worth $100m max. Like somebody said earlier Imgur would make more sense. And btw VCs who invested late stage in Giphy lost money.

"Most users don't care about the value of the data." In a world of micro transactions every user could for example be paid fraction of a cent every time he or she sees an ad thus sharing revenue with Facebook.

Interesting idea, I think this should be standalone product. On the other side when I see ChatRoullete it is very popular but for some reason not commercially successful.

I think he was referring to "Experiences" section on Airbnb where you can go surfing, kayaking and stuff like that.

Airbnb is dead, long live Airbnb. Somebody else will take their place but I'm wondering how publicly traded companies like Booking and Expedia are going to handle this crisis.

I just mentioned basic security check but I don't know anything about corporate networks or how to manage them. One thing I know is that Microsoft has robust network directory service called Active Directory which "authenticates a

Interesting way of cloning networks but still MAC addresses would differ. Original network has a MAC address of a router and clone network has a different MAC address of an access point.

What Microsoft did with Internet Explorer maybe looked dirty back in the day but ironically enough United States v. Microsoft Corp. suit started in 1998, the same year when Google was founded and quickly after conquered the internet with it

I'm worried about security implications of this technology. First of all how reliable this technology will be since its results will or can be used in courts. Secondly how contact tracing logs will be secured since they can be stolen o

I really like the design and the UI of this poker service. Btw I found a way how to abuse the system when playing against AI in the practice mode. Every round I go "All-In" but after some time AI still can not figure out that I am

That's an interesting proposition. For example there is Google Dataset Search where you can "locate online data that is freely available for use".

Holy moly $400m for website that aggregates crypto coins data. Congrats to Coinmarketcap. I remember first using it in 2013, it was just another crypto website but it became the most popular soon after.

I figured this out long time ago. Bending a pizza slice helps because top of the pizza slice doesn't fall down.

My point was if a country wants to be successful and dominate over others it needs to have an economy which is efficient and which innovates that's why USA is currently world's richest and most powerful country. On the other hand

Germany lost 2 World Wars and today it has greater GDP than UK by $1 trillion. It doesn't matter who is hit harder it matters whose economy is more efficient and has more innovations.

He bought bitcoin.org domain in 2008 and by credit card. If bank statement says that then he can be considered at least being a part of Satoshi group or even Satoshi himself.

By moving Satoshi's coins he is not proving him being Satoshi, he is only proving that he has a private key of Satoshi's wallet. If I steal your Bitcoin wallet's private key and I move your coins does that mean I am you? Prob

He is probably not Satoshi because Bitcoin was meant to be everything opposite of a currency for money laundering hence triple ledger accounting aka blockchain. After all see Bitcoin whitepaper and read carefully each sentence and you will
