All companies are 'evil' in that they extract value for themselves at the expense of others. Amazon is probably less evil than Walmart though, since they are doing much more to reduce labor costs to distribute goods. Not that Walm

That's the biggest long term problem, uber can't create platform monopoly without hiring drivers or illegal employment practices. They can still thrive, but it will be monopolistic competitive market where they have to rely on br

I think they do for chips and stuff, not sure about design. Much harder to enforce most design stuff because once you've found 'the good way' it seems super obvious.

Doesn't help much apparently, since android is one of the largest software design 'thefts' ever, and the only thing they couldn't include was 'swipe to unlock' and the apple logo.

Zynga is a painter that makes every brush stroke while looking at a spreadsheet instead of the canvas. They've now been outcompeted by painters who keep one eye on the canvas and one eye on the spreadsheet. That's progress I gue

This is only confusing because of the potatoes. If you said you had a pool that was 99% water, that changed to 98% water, the massive weight drop would be much less surprising.

Cigs bring lots of people in the door, like fuel at a gas station. Probably not a profitable decision. Will lose plenty of regular customers. Could be exec has personal reasons for it, like a family member death.

They are in a lot of pain right now. Something like 25% of the float is short interest and the stock keeps going up. It may not matter that the price is so divorced from the fundamentals because people are buying it for the long term gam

Any half decent employer that isn't willing to negotiate is just going to say that. They risk losing a hire if they say that though, so some will be willing to negotiate. If you try to bluff them, it almost certainly won't work

I own a significant amount of tesla stock and stand to benefit from Elon musk-hype. But I have to admit I'm pretty tired of it. There are other people who dream about and do things you know.

That's not what happened at all. Google has an interview process that is designed to weed out false positives(incompetent people getting hired). Because this guy didn't have enough algorithmic knowledge he failed their filter.

Most of the atrocious stuff is in J2EE related frameworks (looking at you spring and hibernate). I think core java libraries are amazingly designed and a good part of why the language became popular. You won't find many FactoryFactori

It's a design decision. Gifs used to always be eyesores, so it made sense not to support them. They've improved a lot recently.

Maybe, but it's not like people aren't already working on those things. If they were easy problems they would of been solved already. We do actually spend a ton of money on government funded R&D but it's also terribly

I think it depends on the algorithm. Something like siri trains on a larger data set with better hardware and uses a reduced version on the phone hardware. I think most neural networks can be reduced and compressed into a 'read only&
