Looks nice and innovative. But GNOME already lost me as a user. Wish they'd make it independent of GNOME.

Probably a combination of low float and Warren Buffet followers buy a lot of the stock.

The valuation doesn't make sense to me. They're expected to make $1B in revenue over the next 12 months. Their losses are growing. AWS, GCP, and Azure have competitive offerings, may be others do too. How are they worth $33B?

I went to an "elite" Indian college. Anecdotally, I can say the quality of education was quite a bit higher than what could be had at non-elite colleges. I can also say with reasonable certainty that the large salary difference is

Yes the translation tools existed, but they were not quite enough. Besides real world doesn't move in one swoop. You need co-existence. I very much wanted to move to Python 3, but critical libraries I was using were not there. And runn

I see a lot of comments about Python 3 was 12 years ago. Yes. But Python 3.0 - 3.4 were not usable. Most important third-party libraries were only ported Python 3.5 onward. So the real Python 3 start date should be 2015, not 2008.

Inevitable, I guess. Timed tests are mostly useless.

Wait, I don't recall seeing third-party products on Target. When did that change? I see some mention of it online, but cursory search for products doesn't bring it up. Edit: Looks like Target even hides that the product is third-p

Something I want from a store is curation. I want them to do the hard work of evaluating whether the product is worthy of the customer's money. Amazon (also copycats like Walmart) is failing at this basic task. That's why more of

I've read countless articles on IPOs. This is the first time I appreciated the mechanics and economics. Excellent article.

I think you meant Intel Compiler? Yes. Intel Compiler consistently produces the highest performing binaries on Intel processors, often by a big margin. Intel MKL used to be the highest performing math library, and may still be so. As a resu

I guess if Uber and Lyft had to compete fairly, RideAustin might have stuck around.

Most part-time employees do not get any benefits. So no big change there.

I think Uber already chooses when they work and for how long. Uber will have to cap the hours at 8 hrs a day to save on overtime. But the "new employees" can work multiple jobs if they want. Are there employment laws I'm not

Apple has an "ARM Architecture License". They have a custom implementation that's very different from the reference design (which is why they're miles ahead of other ARM CPU makers). I'm sure the license has contrac
