Which is so much better, at least to me, to see targeted ads instead of some generic crap subscription for $7.99/mo.

Interesting. Chromebooks are cheaper and ChromeOS doesn't shove ads to users' faces. Who's scroogled now?

Well, shoes have very individual fit which especially important in ultras.

I think you're wrong. Folks used the most convenient tool at their disposal that is based on the internal tool.

Kind of makes sense given the recent outage. At least it looks like it's a good idea to diversify the cloud technologies across several vendors.

That what happens when cloud provider doesn't support live migration for VMs.

There is (almost) always stack ranking for the purposes of equity and bonus distributions, implicit or explicit. But there is also bottom xx% rule for people that must be given bad reviews and placed on PIP. In Microsoft 2000s it was mandatory rule to axe 10% of bottom performers within a team.

How many companies did you work at? I know Microsoft used to do that before they presumably got rid of bottom 10% concept.

"Self driving cars will save millions of lives. We need to speed this up."

By killing some in the process?

Who knows maybe they had somebody else from the Google self driving car project to steal self-driving car secrets earlier. Based on what this Levandowski guy did the industrial espionage may go unnoticed. I'm wondering if Waymo will require Uber to reveal schematics of their self-driving car project as part of the law suite.

Things couldn't be worse for Uber these days. Sexual harassment scandal, Didi Chuxing plans for global expansion, now this lawsuit.

Here is a good article: http://www.bluetreble.com/2015/10/time-travel/

I bet there will be a lot about CAP theorem in the comments:-)

This explains a lot. Zuck, essentially, is: http://blogs-images.forbes.com/kathleenchaykowski/files/2016...

Where is his appropriate extensively liked facebook post on that subject?

He's learning from the best legally elected politicians these days.

"Heaven forbid you have someone that wants to cling to Outlook as their mail client, because then you'll have a whole host of other issues."

Here is the root of your problem - your organization was in Exchange ecosystem before switching to G Suite. We use Google Calendar throughout (I worked at Google) and never had problems.

What's the battery life?

It looks like they (Zuckerberg?) realized that high end device model by Oculus is not competitive compared with the mobile VR solutions like Daydream.

It does. All interns that receive good evaluation feedback are offered to transition into full-time employees and this transition may not even require interview loop.

To be fair, Amazon has developed a Silk browser for their Kindle Fire tablets.

"The Win32k filter is already used in Edge, however at the moment only Microsoft can use it as the executable signature is checked before allowing the filter to be enabled."

I find this disturbing and anti-competitive. Microsoft is clearly giving Edge an edge here (pun intended).

"Amazon seems to have seriously cutting edge infrastructure"

How do you know? Based on what they sell through AWS? This is not super evident - they might have duct taped bunch of shitty stuff and rely on people on-call 24x7 to keep system running.

Apple product line is a huge misaligned mess right now. Not surprising considering articles like http://venturebeat.com/2016/10/25/why-tim-cook-is-steve-ball....

Are you saying there is no backstabbing anymore? I left Microsoft in 2012 and it was the worst place on the planet ever (granted, Ballmer was still running the show). But can it change that much especially with all the layoffs they do every year on clock basis?

Because it's Russian?

What a terrible article, and written in such layman language:

"it comes as “bare metal,” a attention tenure for servers with no program installed"

Microsoft is laying people off left and right. Every year lately.

What's the latency of your connection? You can get 4 Mbps throughput (which is not a lot by itself, BTW), but the latency may be too high for a video chat.
