Company founders have learned that by simply being present in a big growing industry, they are virtually guaranteed for receiving investments. A rising tide will lift all boats.

Everyone is criticizing Google for ending many of their services lately. However, are we being biased? Considering a very high amount of various different services Google is offering (much more than any other typical company), it would make

Make-A-Wish Foundation can really benefit from this technology by sending these "heartfelt" deepfake videos of famous celebrities and idols to dying kids, hoping to cheer them up. Is it an ethical thing to do? You be the judge!

This was right on point. The TouchBar and the problematic keyboard on those recent Macbook Pro laptops were clearly features that no Apple users ever wanted or asked for. Apple has lost some global market share as a result even though their

Exactly. This practice directly boosts more sales for Amazon which subsequently increases their stock price ensuring continued market domination. They could have easily blocked and prevented this but why would they do that? Until this becom

I like your inversion method. For public consumers, we may need a stronger windshield glass for better protection, yes! For side windows though, probably not so much.

I like your grey area analogy. Why do we constantly feel the need to validate our own personal point of view as the only correct solution while completely ignoring or even considering the potential from an opposite angle? Even in the worst

Whether people may like this exterior design or not, it's a display of bravery from Tesla to steer away from old conventional shapes and forms. Strong innovative design deviations like this should be praised.

Kudos on Apple for having the courage to get rid of those keyboards and bring back what once worked. Everyone seemed to really love the old keyboard, why did they feel the need to change it I would never understand. I'm still typing th

I'm not seeing what you described at all. Google search results are still serving me quite well personally, at least for the information that I was looking for. Google has recently launched one of its biggest updates (BERT) which shoul

Ok so Google is a monopoly in this sector that's pretty clear, but what's the real problem here? Their competitors offer inferior products so we don't really have a case. Until they can develop better technology or offer supe

Wouldn't they be able to solve this by requiring each registered business to install a beacon at their store? Each beacon has a unique ID that is tied to the business and the only data it sends back to the server are the ID and the coo

That's my thought as well. Google+ seemed like just another "me too" platform. Though Google attempted to steer it into another direction later but it was simply too late by then. What I found hard to believe was that with al

I'm guessing surveillance will soon turn privacy into a cash cow industry. We will see companies providing "privacy as a service" coming up. The constant cat and mouse games could enable unlimited exponential growths. Securit
