Were they ever making any meaningful difference? How many of them have beaten the returns given by an index fund over last 20 years? Also, I hate the sensationalism of such articles, more sensationalism usually means less sense.

This is going to be a rant, so apologies. This is a pretty crappy read. Lacks real data and also unwillingness to look outside of the tech bubble, seriously what serious AI work is apple or Netflix doing? Its as if the author started with

For how long will Americans blame FB for the rise of Trump? One he is democratically elected and two Americans have voted for him. Now dont argue about vote share, it does not matter as far as the way American electoral system works, its li

But i dont understand this, why should I have to part with my data when I am buying a fully paid product? I know the justification being used for free services but i find it hard to accept this for a piece of hardware that I pay for.

This is really shocking, this data along with my google data can be used to learn a lot more about the user like what i surf when, how much time i use my mobile in office and what do i use it for. I am wondering if there is a way to corrupt

I still remember one of the first HTC phones which had a mobile version of I think windows xp. The phone came with a stylus and the windows felt like a miniaturized version of desktop. This improved significantly in the Lumia series, the UI

Data anonymization is largely BS, it has been shown in the past that with enough data it is fairly easy to specifically figure out who the person is. This is how people receive highly specific and targeted ads. I know this because I have wo

This is certainly an interesting marketing angle and something that will differentiate Apple from competition. Moreover google guys cannot make this claim as their entire model is based on selling user data. I hope this brings privacy conce

Ironically (?) the book is on Amazon & there is some dark humour in the fact that Amazon will probably end up contributing significant in sales to this book. I bet Bezos has a evil smile on his face.

I think this is the point. The success of any protest movement depends on whether it can be galvanized into a political force. This can happen either when the protesters have economic and financial influence in terms of sheer numbers. Alter

The phathalates hypothesis sounds plausible to me. However, it will be a combination of factors social, economical and biological. One hypothesis, I have been thinking of is about relation between the age of the father when the child was co

Small nitpick on 2 - If you visited India you will find "Swastikas" on the doors of many of the Hindu & Jain households. It is a symbol of auspiciousness and good luck, the association with hatred is very recent and perhaps li
