I was going to disagree here, but then I couldn't think of anything good and original content made by Google...

Quick Google shows they have around 150k employees, how many products do they have?

I want to know this too, I'd love it to be true, very Hollywood

I remember differently, it didn't do as well as PlayStation but original Xbox wasn't a failure...

Have you tried browserless.io?

As a .NET developer I don't see any reason to use F# professionally. C#/CPP are tools just like a hammer, F# is a different hammer, it doesn't seem to offer advantages in my field other than being different...

Centralisation didn't make it easier to use, ask yourself why AOL was in every household

Yep all it took was some usability products and it was easier... See what I'm saying...

Using TCP/IP used to not be a viable option for the average person either?

You mean like HTTP? Isn't Google already doing this?

Couldn't you just load the first frame of the video, and aren't most image formats optimized for fast thumbnailing? I take your point that there are times when it will be slower, but are you saying that you assumed ML would be faster than on the fly, or did you actually check?

Is this conjecture or do you have proof?

The way I see it is the secret sauce is just black boxing it so you don't have to/can't worry about those things...

Corporations are owned by shareholders, aren't they the ones who ultimately make decisions?

If Apple knew it could make more money in say for example, arms dealing, wouldn't it be obliged to pivot to serve the shareholders? I guess it's somewhat democratic as shareholders could vote against it for moral reasons

Over time you end up adding just about everything back in as the app grows... But worse!

I've done this before - you just end up rewriting jQuery hehe.

S3 can be cheaper

I just checked and that's less than half the median wage...

I think younger demographics are an overhyped fad, tech companies are just becoming long arms of the financial sector

But that human has rights and can't work 24 hours a day...

Software laborer (or software day laborer if you're a contractor) - without a governing body calling yourself an engineer seems disingenuous, and developers develop film.

100/n(API calls)

Users understand that 0-20 might take longer than 20-40

Same here - AS2 and the flash movieclip editor had the perfect learning curve for me - I wonder what the current equivalent is, if any

I suppose consistent growth, but unless your migrants are all newborns, migration is like a generation worth of delay

As an Australian, immigration does not fix aging population, it just delays it...

Are the soybeans they're feeding to cows interchangeable with human consumption soybeans?

Yep! A Chromecast running Linux basically

I'll check back here in 12 months when Americas cases never stop rising

Nice, if you don't mind me asking, what sort of apps are they? I'd like to use Blazor for my next project
