I pasted the current top comment for you since you seem to be having trouble finding it or reading it: >When I was at IBM 15 years ago, IBM was far from being a monopoly, since the…

I would encourage readers to compare this disingenuous top comment with the other disingenuous top comment. edit: And those of you trying to suppress that comparison with downmods …

Yeah it's definitely facebook that's the problem, as opposed to Google, Amazon, and payment processors. Definitely if I'm looking for a monopoly, my top concern is making sure peop…

I can't imagine how stupid I would have to be to not comprehend this statement.

The title is "Do Developers Discover New Tools On The Toilet?" but an overbearing mod changed it because he thinks he's Etiquette Secretary of the Internet, and probably also so he…

Or everyone could just stop being a little bitch about everything 24/7.

Wow, thank goodness the Epstein issue came to light so we can finally put away this monster for being bad with women. Social justice priorities.

In terms of giving people a reason for skepticism, simply telling the truth (for once) is a drop in the pan compared to all the bald-faced, dishonest, say-anything "activism" perfo…

Wow what a paragon of truth and levelheaded reason, posting some propaganda article that any dumbass can poke holes in and which every dumbass has poked holes in. I love society no…

The problem with the "abstract" keyword is it's more normative than descriptive. If there's not an actual useful abstraction involved, and/or if the abstract class doesn't actually…

This widespread notion that the military is incompetent when it comes to developing technology might be the dumbest shit I've ever heard.

What an unexpected and wholly unforeseen consequence of backdooring domestic technology while pretending to the opposite. Let's hear it, IC apologists: Get your mob of astroturfers…

Wow since you're so concerned and helpful, here's a tidbit: Everyone who has tried to run a personal mail server in past five years can't because of gmail.

Have also run into this. Google is the quintessential evil tech corporation. We should all start avoiding their services when possible.

We do this here every time writing comes up. Engineers should not comment on writing.

Sometimes people have "bias" due to experience with reality, but definitely any result you dislike should be repeated again and again. It's obviously a big problem for science when…

This is hilarious. I love hearing from butthurt HR types about how unfair it is that programmers have leverage at their jobs.

Yeah there's so much nuance involved in figuring out whether a handful of giant corporations should be permitted to summarily remove a streamer from all social media because they d…

Probably because it's rapidly becoming the quintessentially evil corporation, and there's a correlation between not having a problem with that and being a ding-bat who belongs in a…

This is why everyone used to understand the need to regulate in a way that promotes competition. The idea was promote .

I had to stop releasing music under creative commons because I noticed copyright trolls were trying to claim it was there's when some tried to use it as music in their youtube vide…

And they've been trying to collect phone numbers for years. Any time an account is suspended, they try to require a phone number for it to log back in, for example.

The situation will never change for as long as """"""marketers"""""" continue to benefit from the big data collection it facilitates.

Google is becoming a service that no longer performs searches and instead attempts to project reality back at me based on a keyword cue. This is how the AI takes over society.

I wonder if they might condescend to utilize the JVM so I don't have to compile JMC myself for another 5 months, or maybe at least they'll remove their circular links that infuriat…
