This is not what the title makes it to seem, most of India believes science and education leads to success in life and for the country. If anything businesses will now make more money by teaching periodic tables and evolution in "coaching classes"

IDLs and schema/contract definitions in common places should help with this. Stuff like protobufs are good at generating code to use/translate to object models as well.

The primary motivation for choosing the language should not be sharing object models, atleast IMO.

I can see someone else complete by having a competitive prime product equivalent for half the cost and remove unnecessary services. When I think about pricing its not very obvious to tack the $99 fee onto individual orders but you should since you're paying for it(I used to order 50+ times year from amazon and now its down to about 10-15 so it's harder to justify). Also, I rarely use other prime free products.

I'd be willing to move to Walmart or Google Express if they have a good selection and lower minimums + decent shipping times in return for a small yearly membership. I can still use amazon for larger purchases or pay a small premium for shipping as needed.

> So are big corporations going to do kind of a careless job testing live vehicles in a rush to market? Yes. Will people get hurt? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes.

There is a big difference between humans killing others as one off incidents vs one bug, defect or security flaw making a crash possible with the whole fleet. It can be far more catastrophic.

I wonder how software updates and are validated and tested before going to production in autonomous cars. This is scary - imagine being a developer responsible for a similar malfunction. I'm not suggesting that was the case here - just think this might need as much validation as medical equipment (hoping that it won't stifle innovation).

How can they say I did that check and not the person with my data? Seems counter intuitive.

I hope this does not end up being a Yammer 2.0.

I also don't see other companies advertising jobs on the platform owned my a big tech giant whose sole purpose isn't that. I don't think they will make more money in the "recruiting" side.

This deal sounds like a 50% premium but that just brings it back to what it was 6 months ago, lesser than the peak price. Sounds more like LinkedIn just gave up.

Only positive thing I see is, that MS can bundle HR software with Office 365.

Startups will eventually have to stop giving out free VC money to acquire users. I think the user acquisition cost currently is way to high. Companies give away between $10-$25 (or $1000 for new drivers on Lyft) just to try their service. There are no major differentiators between many of them apart from free credits. Companies race to acquire users like how Groupon did in the coupon business when tens of clones popped up within days in multiple countries. There are many examples of these - I have no reason to stick with one service or have brand loyalty. As long as the service is within reason the cheapest one is the one I'd use.

At some point the incentivizing would stop after burning through a lot of cash - to show profits. At that very moment some other startup could begin giving out lots of free credits and users could very easily move.

That's when things could potentially come crashing down.

"Today, 55 percent of online traffic happens on smartphones and tablets, according to the F.C.C.." I did not know this, it's surprising for me. Mobile-first approaches makes a lot more sense now.
