I assure you that at any large company, especially one the size of Lenovo, the marketing department does not single handedly make any technical decisions.

Open sourcing android was the only option they had as 1)Google support is non existent and 2)they didn't have the hardware or physical distribution at the time and 3)Apple showed the world how mobile operating systems should be done and making their OS closed would be playing a game of metoo which wouldn't let them stand out in any way. Also Google doesn't have any business motive to make profit off android because their whole business model is about selling user data.

if gmails source code is not its value what is it? I'm pretty sure gmails ability to search and functionality are what make it stand out which is easily replicable by taking the source code. If the source code isn't valuable, you're saying it's the brand that's valuable because without the actual product the only thing left is the gmail brand.

Open sourcing a product by definition is not smart. A product is a solution to a problem that is meant to be sold. A library is a tool that enables others to make their own product but open sourcing for example Gmail would be the dumbest thing Google could ever do.

The font is still very ugly though.

But still can't make a profit ? At some point the numbers have to match how much assets and profit the company is actually generating. Uber's profit is nowhere even near 5% of its valuation.

"Uber moved from $17 billion to $40 billion between the two funding rounds within six months"

That's about as open and shut as it gets as to why we're in a bubble.

I love the blog design

Once again, read my parent post. I found his post a good read so that's one bit of anecdotal evidence right there already. Something tells me you don't fully understand 'signal to noise ratio' either.

You've confused the meaning of spam with opinions I don't agree with.

Because words on a computer screen is such a precious resource.

Not a chance. A president pardoning someone who released tons of information about the government is unheard of. It's the same reason why the blue shield exists and why judges rarely convict cops. When you start turning on the system everything starts falling apart.

Ahh yes how could anyone forgot about the rules of war. Lol.

Asians are not minorities. Asian people account for 60% of the entire world's population. Just because a group faces discrimination does not make them a minority.

The power of the almighty equal sign

I think there's little doubt that mothers are the primary caretakers of children in the early years.

No, people should have the right to choose. At the least being around sometimes is better than nothing.

I didn't answer your question because I already answered your question in my original comment. Your response was your own cognitive dissonance.

As for the citations -- http://lmgtfy.com/?q=effects+of+growing+up+without+a+mother

If you believe in evolution, you believe that different genders have different traits that make them better suited for different aspects of life.

When you have a child, you make a choice that you will help raise it. You are responsible for another life and that IS your job. When you decide that you want to be responsible for another life but then make choices that directly contradict that like not being around for the majority of the day, you hurt the child's upbringing.

No matter what your reasons are, a child misses out on the growing experience that nature and evolution have designed. The reasons behind that decision may be unavoidable and I don't see the world in black and white but if you want to be a parent you should act like a parent to the best of your ability.

If you're going to make me defend my point of view the least bit of courtesy you can do is read my comment properly.

You are at a disadvantage relating to and working with someone of the opposite gender compared to someone who had their mother around more often then not.

This is exactly why gender roles are so important. Even if a company had a generous 1 year maternal leave, then what? The kid still grows up without a mother for a significant part of the crucial years of growing up.

There is no way to balance the two, you either raise a kid right or you half ass it. You can't half ass a career if you intend to go anywhere and you sure as hell can't half ass raising a kid.

You're missing a step. The goal of programming is not to just solve a problem, it is to create a solution to a problem. That creating part is the most important part.

Coding is more like music than math. Multiple parts work together cohesively to create something bigger. Just like music, a program or library always has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

Music and programming are creative tasks that require you to think of new ways to solve problems or express yourself. Math is a system of calculation.

Exactly. That's also one of my biggest gripes with yc - Dont be an asshole. If I want to be an asshole, that's my god given right. I say things how I see them and am under no obligation to sugar coat my words. Sorry the chemicals in your brain are signaling discomfort, but that's your job to suit up not mine.

You completely missed his point

And that's the problem. Every single open source software looks like it was cobbled together with no vision or coherency in design.

It's no surprise that most open source software is clunky and hard to use whereas closed products always have that visual polish.

Imagine a future where screens in front of you change and shift to bring you different textures, objects, and figures to plan, design, and engineer effortlessly all in real time and full color.

This is just the first step.

For a cult that asks founders to attend weekly dinners I'm sure they can ask for simple statistics once a year that takes 5 minutes.

Then it's not inaccurate.

So your complaint is that a support line for businesses is only available during business hours.
