It's not the government's job to protect any industry from anything, only to foster jobs and the general economy. The 100 billion the industry makes is besides the point.
Further it's been proven that there was nothing 'rogue' about that report, it was properly vet and screened before release but the GOP bowed to lobbist pressure and came up with that lame excuse
You're right that perhaps what the paper was saying was to radical to be really implemented but sometime radical things are need to bring change! You can't be paying over a billlion dollars for the music in a single ipod...
Worse is any goverment willing to break their own laws for another government that is really a proxy for an industry... That's what's really scary about this
I think he's right, but this is really a problem a developer would have. Most users just want the very best exprience, which in most cases means the most upgraded software. If you can build the tool for yourself though do it.
I think it's because they're sponsored posts of sorts. The one's I've seen so far all seem to be promoting some start-up, probably that are connected to y-combinator
I wouldn't have taken this as lightly as he has. I mean 100s of tweets in a short while is not just a simple coding error. It was built in. Jullien is right, great product don't need to auto-tweet to grow
I've been meaning to stop reading TC, but the question is what do I replace it with? Already read th Verge, Ars Technica...found that TechDirty covers a lot about what I'm concerned with
There nothing disappointing about strictly controlling that type of research and the experiments they're allowed to do. If superhuman's were to be developed it could spark off the same type of arms race that defined the cold war. Every country would want to have better humans ot risk being left behind
Never quiet thought of it like this. There some things that would seem obvious to me but reading this realise perhaps not so much. Anyway IQ tests have long fallen out of fashion as they only measure a certain type of intelligence
Top brass at Microsoft have known for a long time that the PC will be replace by something more portable; Bill Gates has tried, and failed, to launch a tablet for a while now. What they got wrong was execution and execution is everything....
I concede to your superior argument. There is a better way to look at this topic but I still don't like the crippling debt cancer treatment leaves with families. Though stealing is a strong word, I'd use copying.
Also speaking as someone who's lost friends to cancer, I'd not like it if the drug was there but out of my reach because it was too expensive. It's like looking through glass, you can see the other side but you can't get through
I meant western companies how much do they send? I once read an article that suggested that even after they've made back the money spent on R&D they still keep their prices high to keep making a profit
Why is Cipla able to produce the drug at a fifth the price? Can someone please explain how Western companies price their drugs? How much do they send on R&D, marketing and all that? I mean it doesn't really make them look good does it?
P.S. Being from Africa I can testify to how much of a difference Cipla's 1dollar a day AIDS drugs make a huge difference!! Here in Kenya medication is given free of charge under government and NGO subsidies. AIDS is no longer a death sentence if you're poor.
