Every post like this is just PR at the end of the day. Google’s goal is to prove to potential customers they can play with the big boys (AWS and Azure).

Most healthy people I know aren’t chronically hungry. You’ll be chronically hungry if your diet consists of simple carbs (white bread, soda, chips).

That’s not the proper comparison. The difference is that payments sent through Messenger aren’t critical (think paying your friend for lunch), whereas for most financial transactions (eg trades of stocks, derivatives, swaps etc) it’s absolu

Even if Windows is open sourced (which would be pretty cool just to peak in there), there’s no way on Earth you’d be able to compile it. I heard a full build takes over 18 hours on insane hardware, talkin 64+ cores.

Serious question: Why do you care Microsoft (or any company for that matter) collects your code editor telemetry? Addendum: Check our Google Analytics, Hotjar, and Facebook ad targeting if you _really_ want to see “violation of privacy”. In

OP isn’t being unkind, it’s simply feedback. Not disrespect intended, but don’t be so sensitive:)

You see that’s why it’s hard, _because_ they’re a trillion dollar company. Big change takes time to percolate.

I actually just finished having dinner in Amalfi (Positano). After spending the past two weeks in a small town of 800 people in Southern Italy, I was shocked to see so many tourists in Positano; I heard more English than Italian. And don’t

Can I ask where you heard of that book? I was only made aware of the idea of wicked problems by my favorite business professor in university and have never heard anyone else mention it

Such a minimal marginal improvement on human lives... kinda disappointed with this company.

It really sounds like you worship these kinds of companies and the people who work there. Hopefully it’s not too personal, but the grass might not be greener on the other side. I grew up in a relatively wealthy family, with extended family
