Just depends on the product. Microsoft decided to create Teams in house instead of acquiring slack.

by oculusthrift 8y ago
feel like if any of the other companies made this acquisition less people would care. It’s just trendy and good for your hacker creds to oppose microsoft as people did in the 90s. No one is crying about AWS hosting all applications.

I wonder as well. If linkedin is any indication, Microsoft hasn’t affected their engineering culture really at all yet. In fact linkedin still routinely poaches Microsoft engineers and used slack and google drive and bluejeans instead of sk

Microsoft can monetize the data in a way that github themselves couldn’t. It can also afford to lose money for strategic reasons.

yeah but frankly 10x of a small number is still a small number. we still have to see what the real numbers are.

doesn’t matter what you do. there will always be a competitor that takes the money and kills you. If not, the big companies themselves will fund their own projects with 100x your budget

" Any affordable maths private tuition around here?" 1. Doesn't sound like proper english 2. Is this targeted towards indians or something? Everything I am seeing seems to indicate that. Such as " ayurvedic chemist &quot

just so you know, i know quite a few people at both linkedin and microsoft and for the most part they are still very seperate entities. linkedin is still using google docs and slack for instance. most of the influence microsoft has had on l

I’m a real person and I read the book and I enjoyed it. I will say any “self-help” style book like his just has quotes like that and you can never tell if they are legit. If you’ve read the “hard thing about hard things”, i found it pretty

I think most people really don’t understand the wide breadth and the real market of Microsoft as compared to other companies. Just look at these charts of income sources of each company: http://ritholtz.com/wp-content/u

the truth is students and small companies just use google because it’s free for them. this dijesng apply to mega corps

I agree with your comment but as it stands the business market is MUCH larger than the education market. Most schools don’t use either or don’t pay much. Schools are seen as essentially a small vertical in the extremely large market. Just t

devils advocate reasons to avoid older tech job seekers: 1. they are less pliable. they have experience st other companies and typically want to keep doing stuff the way they did at their previous company. it’s a lot more work to make some

how would they know you’re 39 versus 40 in the interview process?

lol this is a pretty lame argument. radio stations would love more young listeners. it’s a little differnt than intentionally filtering out some of your audience

yeah but you’re comparing 20 year olds with no money saved to 70 year olds who are retiring and have a house. The greatest inequality is actually between age but it’s obvious why.

by oculusthrift 8y ago
they can always sell the house and take the loss. just like a stock bought on a loan. don’t get why it’s preferable that someone can’t afford a house rather than someone who already has a house no longer being able to afford it. that’s like

whether you like it or not the world still revolves around the west. even if it is less so than in the past, militarily and economically the world is led by the west.

Well the entire media coverage of the event was on Gawkers side because the media wants to be able to print anything. Therefore if you hadn’t investigated further i could see why you would take Gawkers side.

Don’t really get people who defend mega corporations. They played the game and they lost. They should’ve known that the rules can change, especially if someone is cheating or gaming the system.

Uh, i think society deserves to know that man abused an animal and is potentially dangerous/mentally unstable. If you’re a young woman about to go on a date with someone i’m sure you’d want to know about that incident
