Instagram might not became that big, but it definitely was on track to become somewhat big, that's why Facebook bought it, in fear of competition. Same, Youtube might go down, but …

No, sorry. Wondering that myself.

Not always, if rebars are pre-tensioned before concrete solidifies. So the rebar is always under tension. Pretty common in prefab parts, like bridge bars.

GCP is an order of magnitude better at IAM. And the article is actually exactly about that, with comparison.

Frame.work laptops have properly grounded charger (over UBC-C).

Linux is under GPL. Running your website on Linux doesn't force you to open its sources.

Another idea you may find interesting: InfoSec. Some of my friends who were looking beyond engineering said "Your Machine Learning is boring. But InfoSec is a very diverse landscap…

I believe that in large it can be attributed to a large number of experienced invited/appointed executives who make an exit. Not necessarily being a founder.

Maybe it would mean "no go" to colonization at all, who knows. For example, when all oceans boil out on Earth in 500m years or so, it might become useless for colonization. Natural…
