It is for * a judge* to decide if it is illegal or not. That’s kinda the point of a trial.

I’d think employee productivity and retention would be high on the list. Likewise as a recent founder myself the fact that I’ve been able to start a company with no office and have…

And Google has them hook line and sinker by virtue of paying off some competitors.

Show me the supporting Fermi math and I will.

I think you’re missing the point about antitrust and competition. It’s about abusing your power to prevent potential competitors from competing on the merits. Paying to be a defaul…

With the * really* sensitive stuff you aren’t even allowed to write a single thing down, everything is done verbally, totally off the books.

It’s utterly uncontroversial to state that Google search has gone to shit in the last few years. Now, the question to ask is if Google wasn’t paying off other companies to make the…

Show me a chrome book that has hardware which can last a decade.

Exactly, and I think it’s a very good use of public funds.

To be fair, with all the money the government wastes this taxpayer would be quite happy to have more resources devoted to this mixed probability/extremely high impact issue.

One of my favorite examples of the benefits of public interest spending and investment. There very likely wouldn’t be an ARM today if it weren’t for the Micro.

I think it’s a case of some dumb fuck MBA not knowing the difference between an API and AGI.

Ethics means sometimes you leave bad money on the table for good reasons. That’s not how the VC mind is wired. A bad investment loses money, a good one makes money. That’s all.

Google keeps demoing vapor ware at I/O to that effect but have yet to deliver. Honestly think Apple will go to market first.

Eh, who knows really? Having something in the lab that works and getting a product team to understand how to make it useful to customers aren’t the same problem. In some sense I’ve…

I suspect most of that figure is in machine time, but otherwise they pay engineers a lot and Apple likewise occupies a non-trivial % of all the commercial real estate in Cupertino,…

Microsoft is also a web display ads company, what exactly do you think the business model for Bing is? There’s zero point in switching from Chrome to Edge. Firefox to my knowledge …

What’s worse is they don’t care.

So many people in leadership at top companies just won the start-up lottery as a junior employee and had the internal drive to get promo at all costs to gradually get to the top. A…

I mean, they lost a good percentage of their top engineers a couple years back because leadership had a pretty serious communications issue with their employees. So not exactly sur…

It’s more how it sits in a mix so well, somehow it gives room for your bass drum, some pads, leads, and it doesn’t interfere with any of them. Usually that’s really hard to do perf…

Lately Bass is literally worth the $250 I spent for mine off eBay. It’s just flat out the beat techno bass like there is. It’s literally the only preset I’ll ever use because nothi…

Ah, and now I’ll have this stuck in my head as well! Is this the “woke mind virus”?

Shhh…Jeff Dean is a God who designed the Perfect System, protobuffs - despite not being used by anybody but Google - are the One True Way, and setting company priorities via how we…
