You seem pretty knowledgeable about this stuff. Any book or other material recommendations detailing the history of both brands? The rivalry is legendary, but seeing results across decades trying to outdo each other and the market is pretty

This is incredible to see all in one place. I’m preaching SQL to my Org. and it’s only getting preachier over the years, as I see new technologies come and go (OLAP, NoSQL and it’s many variations including Hadoop, Azure Cosmos DB). For an

I am interested in this as well. The regular media can be monotonous or driven by agendas. Would be great to find content created by folks paid to write unbiased, say it like it is.

OP shows up to comment! Love your article! I echo the first comment in your article, about writing a book. There can be never be too many books about 90s era Jobs.

I just slammed the phone down after a difficult conversation with a difficult person. And then opened Hacker News to see this article. Its prescient and even though may seem antithetical to me, back in my 20s, gives a good view of what is e

Are you serious, defending Facebook here? There can't be a single repository of online data, which by design gives the repository owner too much power and control. Blaming the users for falling for it is like saying we can't have

I’m tied to Windows at work. I’ve tried to start a few conversations about offering MacBooks as an option, but that never goes anywhere due to the additional upfront cost. Given that constraint, I picked up Vim and have used it for the past

I'm holding on to this single strand of hope that Tom Hanks is above these recent allegations. If it comes out that he was also a sleaze bag along with Charlie Rose, Al Franken, Jeffrey Tambor, (along with an incredible family movie di

Can you post some of these reddit links? I'd imagine several small businesses these days would opt for the "vote manipulation" marketing since its easy. (The Silicon Valley TV show had a similar plot point).

Do you have a link for the comment from Bezos? It would be good to get some context on what he said.

This first paragraph applies exactly to us! We're the offshoot now because of a bloated central IT system and now that we have a good thing going, there's a corporate push to modernize IT and bring back all our offshoots to one pl

Do you have the link to the FT series? I can't find anything on Google.

I believe the goal here is an electric car with autonomous features, branded similar to the S-Class or the new E-Class (instead of going all the way like Tesla's AutoPilot).

Do you have a source to this? I haven't seen any news regarding this in any of the auto websites or related sub-reddits

I'm also interested in this question. Can someone with this expertise answer? Is there a reason why we haven't seen a thermometer in a phone so far?

I hope so! I mean what would buy apart from a phone and a watch (& a car) thats worth more than $500? Smart Shoes? :)

I think about this a lot, but I can't come up with a single product that has an average selling price of over $600, that pretty much EVERYONE (at least adults) in the world would need, that they would also want to upgrade every two yea

Mind if you share the University you went to? I'm a Post Grad from Gatech myself, and from what I've seen this wasn't the norm. Also, I wonder how different the pay/career options are for a PhD in industry vs. having a M

I love this inference from the data. An examination of the histogram shows significant seasonal variations. The months July - October show higher than expected births and March - May show the most significant decline in births. Perhaps the

Does anyone have a transcript for this? For the folks like me, who have access issues at work.

I agree that they are two different business models, but the content on both of them are the same, right? Wouldn't it be easier to have two separate login pages on the same App? (One authenticates with HBO itself & the other with C

God, I wish I could listen to Siracusa talk about Tech more than those 1:30 hours, that he does every week.

I agree with yours & the parent argument very much. I feel like the Watch could usher in Security/Identity features, that no other consumer device is capable of. Imagine not having to carry your Company ID card, your credit/de

According to the article, there are three strategies - Traditional Row based DBMS, Column based ones (Vertica, VoltDB) and MapReduce/Hadoop. My current employer is making the switch from Row based to Hadoop - which I feel is because of

This maybe a ridiculous idea. But if Apple do want to acquire their way in to the Automobile industry, wouldn't it make sense to buy Tesla right now, at about $25 billion market cap. One big hindrance that I see is Elon Musk, who IMO w
