fwgwgwgch··on Oracle Wins Revival of Billion-Dollar Case Against Google
Just checked Wikipedia and Microsoft indeed owns RA which "own" R. Interesting.

On the other it's not about open source. If you're willing to license stuff in good faith you should be fine.

fwgwgwgch··on Foxconn buys Belkin for $866M
India or otherwise that's basically rare.
fwgwgwgch··on Foxconn Buys Belkin, Linksys, and Wemo
That's a pointless nitpick.
fwgwgwgch··on Kim Dotcom wins battle in ongoing fight against U.S. extradition

fwgwgwgch··on Fred's ImageMagick Scripts
Thanks!
fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: What percentage of your users are using social login?
Lol
fwgwgwgch··on Fred's ImageMagick Scripts
I agree. I think ImageMagick is available as a library too for other languages
fwgwgwgch··on Fred's ImageMagick Scripts
I love ImageMagick but I can't believe there's only one feel facto cli image processing tool. Do people know of others?
fwgwgwgch··on Economists See Merit in Trump’s Trade Case Against China
This is also the reason Trump wants friendship with Russia. China would be easier to handle if Russia weren't so aligned with them
fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: What percentage of your users are using social login?
Not a fan so not defending but I wouldn't classify Google as social login.
fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: If you were to ditch Gmail, what would be your alternative to email?
Up voted because I'm one of the guilty people you mentioned

I wish there were a standard of sorts in im space. It's not signal because it doesn't allow for saving conversations.

fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: If you were to ditch Gmail, what would be your alternative to email?
OK I misunderstood. Good point.
fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: If you were to ditch Gmail, what would be your alternative to email?
How does it matter if most people are still using Gmail? Email is a very open and widespread protocol. I'd continue using email 100%.
fwgwgwgch··on The Best Alternative for Every Facebook Feature
What are some good online phone services ?
fwgwgwgch··on Ask HN: Which cloud provider to use in 2018? Azure, AWS, GCE, something else?
You will not hear much about azure because of the clear anti-ms bias here but give it a try if you want end-to-end automation for everything including spinning machines and dB instances (and my experience is it is at par with was in terms of stability, although this was a comparison for a brief time and hard to quantify)
fwgwgwgch··on Trump Hits China With Stiff Trade Measures
And I suppose once TOP was in place scrapping it would b have been more difficult (like NAFTa) and getting China to play by the rules too
fwgwgwgch··on Trump Hits China With Stiff Trade Measures
Are you suggesting that us like India of old cannot manufacture good technology in house? That's just plain dumb sorry. It's not even apples vs oranges. It's apples vs orange seeds.
fwgwgwgch··on California should emulate Tokyo, where housing stayed ahead of population growth
Which coubtry/state are those for people trying to find out food places to live?
fwgwgwgch··on Firefox Product Roadmap
Given how neutral Firefox is I wish they didn't create new stuff when good open community developed alternatives are available. I'm referring to lockbox. It would be better id this was an extension to keepass or a fork that read the same file format
fwgwgwgch··on The Tale of Theranos and the Mysterious Fire Alarm
Noble peace prize winner ;)

(I agree with your sentiment, just pointed out this to remind people that these prizes are not given by God)

fwgwgwgch··on Users Abandon Facebook After Cambridge Analytica Findings
> buzz feed

Since you are as surprised as I was a month back, I've looked further and concluded that buzz feed actually funds very high quality journalism (yes yes shocking I know) and presents facts from both sides. They do it using the money generated from click baits. I'd even make what will sound like a hyperbole , if you are the sort that wants truth on both sides of political spectrum and not just an echo chamber , go to buzz feed, and not NY TIMES or wapo.

fwgwgwgch··on Sci-Bay: Google Scholar plus Sci-Hub
Are you the author? "We have no idea how to create Original movies anymore ". This is funny. It should be a sequel to tropic thunder. Aptly named.

Well written article btw.

fwgwgwgch··on Sci-Bay: Google Scholar plus Sci-Hub
I like your point. It's something I've heard the first time
fwgwgwgch··on Sources: Google is buying Lytro for about $40M
Can you explain what you mean by "liquidity prrference"? My understanding is that you get money in proportion to your vested share at the time of sale
fwgwgwgch··on Sci-Bay: Google Scholar plus Sci-Hub
Can someone help dispel my ethical concerns over using papers like this? Eg sci-hub.

Any and all arguments, on both sides are very welcome.

fwgwgwgch··on Zuckerberg summoned to House Of Commons inquiry
I had the same thought initially but I don't think that in matters of execution, ownership should or is brought in. At some point, sure. But not when we're "having a talk".
fwgwgwgch··on Zuckerberg summoned to House Of Commons inquiry
Serious question no snark:

How does this work? How does UK know who Zuckerberg is? Shouldn't they be dealing with Facebook UK ceo? Zuckerberg is a private US citizen as far as UK is concerned, no?

Edit: stop being smartasses (to the no longer top voted replies). I am asking from a legal perspective. Facebook UK is the only entity UK law should know of (acc to my limited understanding)

fwgwgwgch··on Why Is Kitty Hawk's Flying Taxi Taking Off in New Zealand Instead of California?
Or we could bring a constitutional amendment?
fwgwgwgch··on “Pinterest needs to be removed from Google IMO”
The most important rule to use LinkedIn is to never ever log in. Or if you do, do it on a computer and shhh stop pressing those buttons. Just do the minimal and leave.
