Luckily, the tech exists and the market is proven such that if Facebook fucks this up, someone else will come in and replace them. If Facebook stays hands off and just infuses them with billions of dollars and massive resources, we could se

You're neglecting the fact that not every "poaching" attempt is successful and the fact that companies like Google have an incentive to keep salaries high in order to prevent poaching.

I think the main purpose it serves for Nvidia is branding. This gets plastered all over the tech news and everyone knows Nvidia makes the fastest GPU. People then associate them with better technology (for better or worse). Why someone woul

So you're saying other companies offering tech workers high salaries will lower their salaries? I think you're missing the point.

Essentially, think of the reason for Google to want this. They essentially want to keep their engineers with them for a lower price while preventing other companies from offering more attractive positions/salaries which would mean eith

It's unusual that I stick up for the bloody French, but as far as the health insurance goes with "infection statistics" there are about 4,000 preventable deaths in France due to nosocomial infections in "public hospitals

When Zuckerberg and Ashton Kutcher invest in things, it doesn't really grab my attention. But when Musk does, it really does sound promising. The company's tech sounds really awesome, being able to perceive texture from photos and

This looks like exactly what I've been looking for for as long as I can remember. Awesome, and awesome name. It would be great if it could integrate with Pocket, so my Pocketed links show up in Dragdis too.

I'm gonna guess people are just assholes. It's quite the target, considering the number of companies that rely on them for their day to day operations. They can do a lot of disruption/damage with it.

I definitely see Linux becoming a big platform for gaming, but I think they'll probably coexist.

Net neutrality I can see being a very important topic to Netflix. I could definitely see ISPs charging extra for Netflix services due to "load" or some BS like that (when really it would be to make up the damage to providers cable

I don't this is so much anti-charity as it is pro-Musk and his incredible knack for changing the World in big ways. Many charities have a lot of bureaucracy and a lot of money evaporates on it's way down the pipe. But with people

The biggest stepping stone is interfacing into a virtual 3D world. Unless you can make the "controls" as seamless as possible, it's not going to catch on. This involves finding ways to access information quickly and making th

I think the American model of malls may be over. The model where there are crazy numbers of huge malls everywhere, even in relatively small populations. But malls are still hugely popular. In Canada, where we have a lot less malls, they see

I really don't see what every media outlet that isn't Russian state-controlled would have to gain from distributing "biased" journalism. We've seen raw footage released, we can read live tweets about what's h
