If you’re a basic dev (uneconomical to hire and train), the market works against you. If you’re halfway decent and hungry, companies are scrambling to get you on your team. I’ve been recruited just from random conversations at bars or on Mu

I don’t understand the whole isolation argument. Facebook connects people like never before. People will always be involved or connected to their community but FB gives people much insight to global trends. What’s really dying is a monopoly

Earlier this decade, I loved the NYT, used to be a great source of insight, now I feel they have lost their objective leaning edge. It is due to my generation, we do not know how to separate our personal feelings from our professions.

Many US citizens still die overseas in terrorist attacks, for instance, 11 American souls were lost this week due to a suicide bomb in Kabul. Not to mention the whole black market economy that surrounds terrorism, along with human trafficki

Even in San Francisco, widely known for its public transit system, not having a car some of the time sucks. It's much more convenient to get around by car. That's why Uber and Zipcar are ultra popular here.

He hasn't proven himself to be politically savvy like past candidates and he lacks key differentiations like Trump or Hillary. If he attempts to storm to the top without currying favor it will fracture the DNC and if he wins he could h

An indoctrination platform for a group of people that are highly affixed to their shared values, sounds more like a religion. To me this seems like more of an issue for the people to take care of, getting government involved would be very m

It would be a massive loss for him. Especially with the Democrats in the middle of a war on all fronts, which is the most pressing issue of the next 2020 candidate. I doubt Zuckerberg could navigate the internal politics to find solid suppo

This makes much more sense. It would be suicide for him to launch his political career in 2020 in form of a presidential campaign. (billionaire vs billionaire election will demoralize the voter base)

Another definition of violence is "Strength of emotion or of a destructive natural force.". As long as something is a force of trespass on a being it can count as violence. There are many studies that also prove emotional trauma a

You are talking about features. Not the products themselves. Tablet. Laptop. Convertible (in-between). There usage and perception is the same. There is no defining feature that make them different. They go after the same market, that is the

It is natural that we want to take from those who have and give it to those who have not. Whether it economical benefit, experiences, or knowledge. But in this case, I am unconvinced that scaling these experiences in this environment is a h

MS built out an entire hardware line that mimics Apple's hardware line and then put up counter points to Mac alongside each competing Apple product. It is obvious and Microsoft's collective ego shows. It is a very late response to

That's the truth. But our society will only move as fast as we say to. All of this, economy, technological advance, social issues all exist in our mind. Surely a giant such as Microsoft could be dedicated to being at the forefront of a

It doesn't matter that the complaints are anonymous. The ultimate end result of this produces anxiety, even if action is taken. It is passive violence on a mass scale instead of healing occurring in one place. People should not want ev

I can see this getting out of hand quickly. Humans have a tendency to amplify anxiety of local, improbable events. This is essentially a weapon that can quickly impact morale and elevate disruptive conversations that will become far removed

The way we use our machine matters along with the continual upkeep and fine tuning of our tools. It is our responsibility to not put the foot down on the gas completely all the time. The real world constraints on this machine do not seem un

Good point, however this whole device line is an experiment itself. Realistically, I decline to entertain Microsoft is risking building these devices in a declining market to make a buck. Their approach, especially with the marketing, image

It's a disaster until it isn't. Until Microsoft implements it while it's competitors will have had it for ages.

I assume it was a combination of limited engineering expertise AND Microsoft's tendency of being a late adapter due to its business customer base. No matter how hard they try, little things like this show Microsoft's competitive h
