The opposite argument is rather popular as well: Conservatives work vigorously to make the government as expensive and inefficient as possible in order to get people to continue to vote them into office, by convincing citizens that governme

Outside of large cities, most of America can't even afford the upkeep associated with their existing infrastructure. I'm not sure how you think they'll be able to afford large scale fiber deployments. Or maybe you're say

Rewind. Why did the government grant monopolies to these companies in the first place? To entice them to invest in their area because nobody else would. Infrastructure isn't software development. It requires billions of dollars of capi

How much does your 'top of the line' lane-staying sensor cost? How about your backup camera? How about automatic breaking sensors? How about all of the components required to integrate these sensors into your vehicle? These are al

We've already seen price drops for the most expensive self-driving components. LIDARs, GPUs and storage have already fallen in cost, and the products aren't even on the market yet. There is every reason to believe these price drop

It seems like they're currently designing the APIs which, once solidified, can be used to make a user friendly service. The foundation, as described, isn't easy for customers. But it is easy for developers and engineers! And once

As an aside, it should be noted that all cells carry the complete blueprint for a human being. The open question for a long time was whether it would be possible to push adult cells 'back' in time to a state where they could becom

Very neat! This matches up closely with what we have evolved for my group's legacy codebase to simplify handling AJAX requests. I suspect we're not alone in arriving at this sort of declarative abstraction. Unfortunately, our impl

I sat in stunned disbelief for a second after finishing the book before turning back to page 1 and starting in on it again. I only read the first few chapters/vignettes again, but I could see the allure in continuing. I didn't hav

x86 was already on lock down. They could have ridden into the ARM ecosystem, guns blazing, and wouldn't have lost a penny from their existing x86 platform. ARM doesn't compete against x86 in mobile. That's obvious now, but it

I believe aresant is questioning the motivation behind the investment. That is: - Is Apple investing in Didi in order to see a straightforward return on investment? Or - Is Apple investing in Didi in order to counter Uber's global expa

I don't think they would. The issue isn't that traffic is being intercepted inside the enterprise. It's that the proxy performing the interception is issuing a certificate that uses SHA-1 in it's digital signing algorith

In general, I like to think of it as: Facebook knows the facade that you want to present to the world. Google knows what you want (or what you want to know). Now, each of these is actually only addressing the front-facing portion of the bus

The brain continues to fascinate. I wonder how the brain acts while under anesthesia or induced to sleep through sleep aids? Is it different than naturally falling asleep? More particularly, it sounds like brain cells (At least in mice) shr

Is there significant evidence that people who engage in affairs are more likely to be unhappy than happy after having engaged in them? I don't doubt the claim, but evidence would be appreciated.

That's a good point. Though, if the enterprise I work in is representative (notwithstanding a singular anecdote not being data), the proportion of people that haven't heard of them is higher than those that have.

The most interesting thing about this doesn't seem to be their cloud support. It's the inclusion of Xamarin in Oracle sales pitches delivered by their well connected sales force to corporate clients. Seems like a smart way to ease

All text is a description of something, but not all text is copyrightable. I would hold that an API is a textual definition of processes used to interact with a system. I don't think that kind of rote technical description is covered b

Perhaps I am missing your point, but aren't all APIs simply definitions that describe how to communicate to an underlying system? An API, by itself (By definition of being an interface), does nothing. It's just a description of ho
