Facebook has already seen the writing on the wall and has been pivoting to VR. Probably not the best pivot but it is what it is. They clearly want to be the Apple/iPhone of VR. The part that confuses me is that they can't seem t

The real problem for Amazon is that people who used to work there never want to go back . Either you're OK with the stack ranking system that favors psychopaths or you're glad to be rid of it after you're gone.

FYI: Walmart doesn't treat their workers nearly as harshly as Amazon does. They don't pay as well but no one who works for Walmart is incessantly being told they need to work harder than their peers or they'll be fired. Not

This isn't true. A lot of media sources (and people) define Alexa as a "robot" and since 99% of reporters aren't experts in technology you end up with headlines like, "Layoffs Reportedly Hit Amazon's Robotics

I think the author is viewing WebAssembly strictly in the context of using it inside of a web browser on a web page. The problem with that view is that WebAssembly's goals go far beyond that, being more of a (much more) portable run

This looks cool but it doesn't look like it lets you operate on surfaces, edges, or vertexes. Off to a great start though! Love how since it's just JS you should be able to assign arbitrary metadata to any given object.

It seems to me that this is a straightforward monopsony problem: The workers are already at what could be the best job they can get and yet the conditions are still terrible. They can get a job somewhere else but it won't be as good. B
