Dara, the new CEO has said they are targeting a 2-3 year time frame for IPO.

Isn't it simply theft and punishment. Not sure how newsworthy are 5000 year old thefts.

Can always learn, what not to do.

Overhead didn't reduce black money, it just changed hands. From merchants to bankers and launderers.

That's too broad / vague. I understand that if my actions/words are making/will make other person uncomfortable, I should stop. But if a coworker changed her hair style and I complemented it, can I be legally complained against?

Seems plot for reboot of Matrix, where Zion population is infested with nanobots.

Seems the AIs have taken personality of the developer and also their liking to create new language and frameworks.

Are people really concerned of privacy, or just witch hunt against some companies? Bigger privacy threats I see are always tracking, always listening device we keep in pocket, which sends it all to cloud. Still I see know serious effort to mitigate that, efforts by like of Firefox/Ubuntu are dissed as distractions.

Developers on HN regularly proclaim wonders of Chromebook/Google Docs without any corresponding rhetoric about privacy.

After using it in couple of projects, we see it as making complex tasks really intuitive. Maybe you are using it for some wrong problem.

Any such book for distributed systems?

Communism would't work, without some benevolent AI running it. People incharge of managing the system will have reason in billions to be corrupt. Such useful info, will always be monetised, right now we can follow the money, take away the legal way and a backdoor will open which will be more difficult to tame.

Acually, for safety, do NOT try to short the battery. Just youtube it.

if it is accrued over years, they'll have to pay some percentage as penalty over the regular tax rate.

India's population is a problem we have created ourselves. If you look at forest cover, US has 2x forest cover of India's. So yes for once I agree Indian's should stop looking outside and start taking responsibility for our problem and solve them ourselves.

What about IntelliJ or Chrome or any IDE for that matter.

either you don't use macbook or not interested enough to look for how to change that behavior. It is a single flag in preferences that allow you to use the keys as function keys and screen brightness etc. with 'fn' key.

You can change Fn keys behaviour from prefs and I believed all developers would have defaulted to Function keys but seems not so.

Chrome, IntelliJ, VSC all use Fn keys for debugging, and also at least I have mapped most of function keys to some tasks, like F5 for open symbol etc.

Touchbar is only good for some slider like things where continuous strip will help. It is also good for novice users like MSOffice ribbon, they can see a lot of things on screen now and they don't have to hunt in menu or remember shortcuts.

But for a real pro user spending whole day in few softwares, it makes no sense. I have seen pro photoshop users using 3-4 keys long shortcut like second nature, they need access to tonnes of features and variants so more keys the merrier.

Honestly, I haven't seen any real use cases of the touchbar, smileys and photo slider is cute but not something on top of my list to optimise.

They way this term is thrown around, curious if the posters ever understood the strategy or even read the linked wiki page.

They are two competing open source databases, knowing strength/weakness of each is always good. So unless the answer is `we rock, you suck`, it would be a useful info. for lots of people

Strategic View is simple I believe, they want developers back in there fold. MS sells Windows and most devs have no problem with its UI but want to use linux CLI, also some new tools/languages are developed only/first for Linux. Now OSX being compatible has captured this lucrative marketshare.

Having good developers using Windows will be a great boost for ecosystem, a percentage may choose to experiment with UWP, a react-native developer may try a Windows version of app.

Only thing to loose is people may not build cli tools for Windows, but that is already a lost cause. Linux won't pose a threat to GUI, so no chance of non developers getting comfortable and migrating to Linux. So win-win and later some more win.

MSFT, if we ignore Windows10 :(

free time which now you are spending discussing about FB.

Its funny how every post about FB on HN, brings out users claiming not to use FB and so now they have so much free time now, which they can use to discuss FB :D

But if shareholders are against this move, the prices would have reflected it. They are up 9%, so they agree atleast in short term, or we have enough people who are buying with these terms.

This quote is as lame as irrelevant it is.
