So this tweet here: https://twitter.com/wikileaks/status/839105996429668352 this 141 characters is misleading? Here's the whole tweet just so we can be clear: > CIA hacker malware …

I'd sum this article up as: This isn't news because we've known for ages and ages that governments do evil things, known for ages. None of the evils listed are new or that interest…

Not so much "heavily discounted shares" but "lower price to earnings valuations". PE ratio differences are how companies like Berkshire Hathaway use arbitrage to increase their val…

Set a goal of $1 billion yearly profit by 2020. That places the value at PE of 20 PE (2/3rds of Alphabets 29.9) at ~$20 billion, which is ~2 times their current valuation. Assuming…

This never has any numbers to support it, which is unfortunate. Also, in a world of bubbles, how is a less free an open Twitter better? Is a Twitter with no controversy, with no ar…

FTFY > 1. cut costs by a lot. they shouldn't be spending $2B per year Really, is Twitter doing poorly? $2.52 billion in 2016 is more than enough revenue, I'd wager, to maintain a s…

Which, ironically, is virtual signaling. That's the modern world though - lets everyone retreat to your corners and come out throwing buzzwords at each other. "Misogynist" "Cuck" I…

But where you ever accused? I dunno, I'm happy to throw anyone under any bus, pretty much of anything ever. I just think we should consider sticking with "innocent until proven gui…

I think a question like this is so nebulous that people can answer it in a multitude of ways, none more or less valid. Global warming doesn't really affect the USA specifically and…

Hosting companies would be either adding capacity (new locations, new land, new construction) or filling existing capacity. Once capacity is full at a location, then what? The marg…

I don't think the plan is relocations. More than likely, MS see server numbers growing over time, at the very least for the foreseeable future, and they'll be located once, and the…

Cost benefits though. $15 a month to save a few days coding is a bargain. It really depends on what your turnover is, where you make the most money, and what your time is worth (ob…

Why did you never follow Patrick's advice: http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/04/03/fantasy-tarsnap/ Not your thing? I've always wondered.

http://www.kalzumeus.com/2014/04/03/fantasy-tarsnap/ - pretty much everything you just said.

This sort of scare mongering is just plain weird.

What rubbish! This is the thinking of someone that lives in a country with a philosophy that puts country before individuals. By almost every and any measure, we are all better off…

I have a question. > For two years, Sarah Nahm was the only woman at Lever, the company she co-founded and now runs as CEO... has roughly 100 employees... has a roughly 50–50 In an…

I reckon you'd be wrong. It cost $1,000,000,000 to own a computer for baby boomers. I have (depending on how you count) between 3 (PCs - 2 mac and a Windows), and 11 (3 PCs, 2 phon…

They chose really poor colour gradients to show the differences. The image would have been clearer if it used more than purple and what looks like the most minor variation on light…
