You're overthinking it, it's some PM justifying his or her own job in a company flush with so much cash it doesn't know what to do with it.

It is as much a choice as installing an .exe. Treat the web browser like the OS of old, because that's exactly what browser makers think of it.

What is "it"? This is an allegation. Under an administration with a highly motivated agenda. Could be true, or could be completely fabricated/exaggerated like all the national security allegations this administration has thro

That and laggy keystrokes are really a productivity killer, but maybe for some people it's a worthwhile tradeoff. Not for me. I'm of the opinion that tools should get out of the way and be almost invisible.

JetBrains makes your machine sound like a jet with the CPU fan, that's for sure.

Then you'd be a seller. They buy bulk on Alibaba, store it in near warehouses (FBA) and parcel out single sales at a higher price.

If so then why would VC's fund new competitors? The answer is they would not. VC's may throw their free money at new unquantifiable opportunities, but for this niche the financials will have become well known. In other words there

It's not about subsidies as a business model so much as a war of capital attrition with weaker competitors, which is necessarily not endless.

You underestimate what you can extract from making the market larger and more efficient, which taxis could never do. Why don't people barter instead of paying huge sums to Wall Street to intermediate?

Dumb TV's had ports forever. How else would people have connected their video sources?

Planned obsolescence is a feature. Not an accident.

You just solved your own problem. Don't buy a TV, buy a monitor. (Some people also buy projectors.)

But all of this is separable: storage at home, transport/computing provided by Google. So security and trust verification can come from Google (or any other provider) but emails stay home. Or photo processing provided by Google, but ph

It's high time for somebody to make an appliance running open protocols that behaves like cloud applications but that is owned and hosted at one's home. Maybe it's what NAS is turning into, but open, and more broadly conceive

What a weird era when we record everything but also let it all get deleted/not be looked at. Maybe curation-on-creation was the right model after all.

Never trust cloud providers for archival data I think is the lesson. Keep your own storage for that.

How is "inactive" defined? Maybe they're really going after people who create accounts primarily for free additional storage.

I think the main issue is storage Moore's law has really hit a wall and it is no longer the case that the data Google stores grows slower than storage per dollar like in the early days. Google's freebie business model is going to

There used to be a time when you ran development/debugger on a different machine than the one running the application. Developers having fast machines for work should have absolutely nothing to do with not properly testing for user env

The thing with scaledowns is that scaledowns usually never happens. It also costs money to build scaledown logic and build around elastic resources.

#1: The writing's on the wall for x86, probably. Once its former monopoly rent is only justified by high-end "scientific computing" uses -- well you know what happened to IBM/DEC/SGI/HP and their workstation so

Start by hiring good people that you don't need "legibility" from. Or fire managers who have no real use other than to "read".

Correlative methods are the wrong model by themselves but could be one part of the right model. Cognition happens by correlation, but also by denoising, by adaptive filtering, by interference cancellation, even by predictive generation. Lis

There is an equivalent problem in audio, which is source localization. That's much simpler than note cognition.

If anyone bothered to click the link, it's not MIDI but MIDI-generated audio (title should be changed). They used MIDI audio because likely it simplified the problem along a number of dimensions: rhythm and timbre are fixed, and there

It shouldn't even be a "hard" problem any more. Search and relevance are mature technologies. You do need to provide some features, but there are many: time spent interacting with tabs, was it a "terminus" in a navi

Acquiring fewer things is not mutually exclusive with not discarding things. They may even be positively correlated.
