just be careful with SFDC, bunch of harsh limits, killer one being 5k bulk api requests per rolling 24h. if you think that's a lot you haven't seen big orgs with a shit ton of integrations and custom stuff on top of them.

I for one am still waiting for an actually useful electric car. For reference, I currently have two vehicles: a 2008 Jeep Liberty and a motorcycle. The motorcycle is the commute machine. The Jeep is family travel and hauling machine. The la

I guess it depends on where in NYC. Currently staying in Manhattan - why wait for an Uber if you can simply flag down a cab? And all of them have the CC terminals in them now, when did you last get one without? My last Uber experience here

people mock Asimov's laws of robotics, but without super simple rules like that any AI or robot will be able to go off script. here it's swearing but also endorsing genocide. just a chatbot, no big deal. try the same with one of

misleading on Switzerland, if you served in the Amry (compulsory service) you have an assault rifle at home. but no ammo. that one would be handed out in wartime. but unknown how many Swiss have used their assault rifle to club someone to d

So? All the comments here read like those aren't humans, allowed to participate in society just like anyone else. And if they have more voting discipline and get what they care about, well, whose fault is that? Everyone will be old one

wait until you have a baby that finally fell asleep at 3am and some drunk asshole starts banging around in the street, finally staggered out of a bar. young parents care more about this than old farts.

both WW so far have been labeled conventional, saw use of those weapons. full out thermo-nuclear warfare with the intent of wiping out the enemy completely has not been done, obviously ever. yet. US vs. USSR was at this stage. US vs. China

Don't. The target group of LinkedIn is mid-level managers of any kind plus the people who want to join that group. Individual contributors such as programmers will not get any value of such a network - no job to be done. GitHub is way

if it is so mission critical, why can it only be financed through ads?

yes, but no numbers on profits out of those segments. OP was pointing out investor's criticism of Apple as a one-trick pony due to iPhone - I am pointing out that outside of ads, nothing generates any significant profit at Google eithe
