Great that they're finally attempting to do something . But I get a little annoyed that congress always seems to act fast when its something that might actually affect them . Otherwise its back to partisan do-nothing.

With Android, Google was able to maintain its influence by the use of the Play store and other external services tied directly to default and popular apps (i'm aware there are hacks to get around certain restrictions within the AOSP).

I think Google providing/licensing the software and tech to other manufacturers is risky and leaves open the possibility for a new provider to slide in and undercut with each car provider. Google should leverage their early position a

Every situation is different. Example: An employee has become bored in their current role, and a snoozing manager hasn't noticed in a while. If the employee hasn't been engaged by their manager then, sure, they'll look elsewh

What sort of value are you gaining from the MVP? Can you make money now from it? Is there substantial market learnings to be gained from it (outside friends and family usage?). If not any of the above then you'll need a CTO who can bu

I'm at a medium/large company, but without access to real numbers i'd say off the top of my head its probably >500 users across 100+ projects and 10s of thousands of issues.

Thats probably dependent on the hardware and size and complexity of workflows and DB size. Our JIRA install is one of the slowest webapps i've seen in a while. Can't wait to move on to something else.

I'm tuned into the daily drama but really don't care. I want something reliable and quick. Lyft had a bug for a few months where they wouldn't accept my credit card anymore (no reason, just a generic system error). I've

I don't think thats what he said. Parts and hardware aren't a limiting factor, but they are an enablement for better software to be created (note Tesla in his example). Without good hardware then you're stuck jumping through

Closeness aside, the gravity on mars complicates a lot of things from landing to taking off - which currently dictates that this is a one-way trip. A moon base is much simpler in both scenarios and return trips are achievable (has already b

Without going too deep into it, some kind of system that allows spending somewhere only if gains/improvements are made elsewhere.

I'm all in favor of science funding, especially projects that drive and give back technology capabilities to society. But I would like to see more balance and preference to solve hunger and poverty around the world. To me that question

Has any thought been given to the long-term economic consequences of something like this replacing animal products in the market? The price of commodity corn shot up when production of corn-based ethanol became popular as well as other use

Its political in the U.S. Business owners (large and small) tend to view them unfavorably and they tend to be Republicans. Democrats strive to support most unions since their members are largely working-class, blue collar constituents. Par

>What are solar prices like in the night? /s Is that a rhetorical question? Because night time usage largely relies on battery storage for which economies of scale are also reducing the cost in a similar predictable fashion.

So the way they come to the 40K number is since each moth is about 1/2 calorie, and the bear requires at least 20k calories a day, then they must eat 40k moths/day. Hmm

I understand, and as a development manager who needs to hire and retain technical employees i'd rather make the case to pay an extra 10-20k a year for a well-performing employee rather both risk losing someone for an intermittent or ex

I think you typify the type of manager that cares more about the bottom line than the value you get out of good employees. Maybe it wasn't spelled out as clear in the article, but much of the point is that the employee is more valuab

You don't have the experience for the role. And that may be okay as long as you're honest and upfront about that and show a willingness to learn. A big component of managing a dev team is performance-management- managing good an
