Tech pundit... More like Tech commenter/speculator. Edit: Sorry, I thought pundit was supposed to be knowledgeable. Acc to the Wikipedia link below it could be "or can at least appear to be knowledgeable" as well.

I'm sorry. I meant to post "I don't know what I think about ...." then my comment. I think the tweeter's intention was to see what he could get out of this, but it also showed Scoble's attitude about the whole

And yet Windows Live Messenger is dead and whatsapp is going strong. It was a piece of shit.

The tweet linked in the article about letting this "play out" paints him worse, if that was possible. https://twitter.com/gtlpearson/status/921480719381254144

It's been an Oracle product for 8 years, I wonder why you chose this particular release to think about searching for alternatives. Maybe you just wanted to pay tribute to John Dunsworth.

Actually I was saying the total opposite of what you inferred. I thought that despite being in Mumbai, IIT-B would have a very diverse spread of folks due to the methods of intake(JEE/ all India recruitment of professors). That means M

(Dropbox employee, no connection to the move) Why should it be one? Wouldn't you pay less to be in a functional building instead? I know that choice means that SF will never be a Chicago, but that ship has long sailed, no?

Does it matter that it is in Bombay? I thought the prod/student body would be diverse due to to how the intake works. Nothing against Marathi, I feel like Telugu, Tamil etc would also have equal chances of happening there.

Do you have to pay HoA fees, maintain your house per their regulations, etc? I see lot of troll potential here :)

> but it wouldn't feel like a good way to use taxpayer money Thanks. Curious, because this comes up on HN now and then: Do you make your research public? I understand this might not just be in your hands though.

It is also possible that " the guy you knew who was a software engineer for Wikipedia back in uni." was flat out lying to you to show off.

Were there many folks from developing countries in the orientation? In my orientation (at an American university), there was a huge emphasis on "you might be used to plagiarism back home, but please take it seriously".

GP clearly says "gmail, for work". I think a vast majority of companies would fire (at least, call it out as against policy) if you just went ahead and used gmail for work emails because the official one is crappy.

HN still ranks comments by votes (i think?), so that's defacto showing upvotes.

This is true. During my internship orientation, they called this out. (100 lawyers in this building make X% of our money, huge X).

I worked with someone at yahoo that had a name very similar to your handle. He'd have reason to create 100s of accounts.

Hey, there is no yinst/buildyblocks stuff here. That's kind of a must-have.

> Wow. After something like that happened I'd start looking for a new job regardless of whether I was laid off or not. I think this usually factors into the number of people laid off. Yahoo did a pretty similar layoff in early 2016,

It's valid for your usecase, but I still agree with your parent comment that your bag's contents are unusual.

(Dropbox employee) I don't think this article is news. The editorialized title in HN is unfortunate and I wish a mod can change it. The article talks about the reasons Dropbox decided to move 500PB storage into our own data centers. Al
