So I'm just wondering if your measurement of success/leader is based on innovation, profitability, or popularity? Because you seem to be picking the whatever that suit your argument, while we usually consider any one of them to be

On that front, I can only hope that they have learnt the lessons from South Korea politics.

You are right. Many bad assumptions were made by me today.

You make some very interesting points on flexibility and the ability to adapt. I also wonder how China is able to keep adapting to circumstances and survive if the voice of people is not heard. But then I realize China has a different syste

Thanks for the thoughtful response. Actually I'm talking about Google account and services in general, not just gmail. Google account also exists as an IAM service for various Google branded products, such as YouTube, and a lot of othe

And those are the more savvy users who actually care about their privacy a lot. If I may draw another parallel: There are also loads of people out there who can migrate out of the system (China/Google) if they don't like. And thos

So, you are not actively using a Google account? It is one thing to have alternatives, but to actually execute the switch to alternatives seems near impossible. Breaking away from Google is already hard, breaking away from Google + Facebook

To not use real names on Facebook seems to be a violation of ToS as well, and you still need to verify real names in order to use pseudonym: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook_real-name_policy_cont...

To create a facebook account, you need either mobile phone number or email. To have an email, you still need a mobile phone number to register for gmail (the most popular choice). To have a mobile phone number, you need your passport or ID.

/s Angular is terrible. React is trojan horse. Vue is developed by Chinese. /s And I honestly just want a decent framework to write JavaScript. Maybe the framework war is just getting started after all. Edit: I'm just summari

You can definitely write a tool to do it for JavaScript. Sublime text has something similar that gives you the usages of a function when you hover over its name. Its not as 100 percent accurate as strict static code analysis, but it works p

Well the complete circle has a major benefit, flexibility: You develop one app, and it can run as both web and desktop application, or even on mobile with some extra efforts. Say you want to quickly edit something like a document, you don&#

I think the entire blog post is meant to address that question. It is trying to differentiate from the cheap Android phones. For me this is the most interesting point: > Devices shouldn’t become outdated every year. They should evolve wi

Very nice. I enjoyed using d3 before all the Angular and React stuff came along. With this I can now "idiomatically" do d3 stuff in React.

The same analogy can be applied in reverse. The article here is the one that is making an unfalsifiable claim that "a living creature cannot be as big as a galaxy", but offers no definitive proof of nonexistence of such creative.

Well, maybe the age of universe is indeed "too short" for it to do anything useful yet? Your argument seems to be supporting the idea that the universe is like a baby who is still too young to do anything.
