Uber's going to fail big because it failed big in China? I think it's pretty well established that western companies can continue to be extremely successful while failing in China. Google (meaning search, gmail, maps, docs, youtub

You could, but I'm not sure how that's relevant to this discussion. Other fields have a similar problem, and are either unaware or don't consider it a problem. I consider it a problem in the software/tech industry regard

Perhaps science fiction was receiving the criticism because it was fairly new at the time, and there wasn't much of it. With other arts you could point to countless anecdotes of genius, while with sf at the time, there were a handful.

I don't mean to be a pessimist but this entire article boils down to describing Moore's law, and saying that medical research will advance quickly because it uses computers as well. Seems a little shoddy.

Massachusetts pays more in federal taxes than it receives in federal funding. There are lots of examples of pork barrel spending but this really isn't one of them. This is a project that has and will continue to provided many tangible,
