It does at Google. They have enough fat to digest it for a while.

I am long on Uber: taxis are dead, it will not go anywhere. The only problem is that the board made a strategic mistake that felt good short term. They tried to retain users by pushing the founder out, and hiring a diversity CEO. This faile

It's not a company. It's a university, for God sake. If no free speech there anymore, then where? In the kitchen, like in the USSR? Now if he was a pedophile, he should be in jail. But he is not, he is exersizing free speech, no m

And how do you know this is all wrong? At least I get to look at our app internal analytics and compare. Do you have access to their internal analytics? Also contrast this to https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?dat

Yet Google Trends exactly reflects (exhibits?) Google Play data of our app that has 37 million registered users.

I can only interpret that they are talking about logged in users with accounts. The users were logged out during the pre-IPO and that resulted in some double counting in their second post IPO 10-Q. I was researching this because I asked mys

FB owns Instagram https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&ge... and WhatsApp. I would argue that the market is a bit more rational there.

From the article you quoted (call me cynical): "Disclosure: I am/we are long PINS. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from Seeking Alpha)"

The competition is Fastly for example. The downside is that there are fewer and fewer independent websites.

The newest trend in banks is to migrate to AWS. See recent Capital One hack. They view it as a combination of commodity hardware with cheap software.

I am not 100% sure either, but I think /dev/fbN does not exist without a fb driver. DRM uses /dev/dri/renderNNN

A word of caution if you are starting a small LCD project: the framebuffer approach is dead on Linux. The new approach is DRM (Direct Rendering Manager), that allows partial LCD updates from userspace. See https://www.raspberrypi

Even though it does not look this way now, I think this is a seminal legislation that in time will move small startup scene out of California for good, due to what you have described. I have the same experience, bootstrapping a software com

They have to pay payroll tax and administer payroll. I ran a bootstrapped business, that initially had several contractors, till a day I could afford to replace (in several cases, promote) them to employees, so I know this intimately. Addit

Contractors send 1099 they receive from a company to FTB. They don't need to complain. This means that a bootstrapped start-up cannot temporarily hire a graphics designer or a coder in California anymore, without the budget to make him

So migrate a large production codebase to unstable API? With dependencies not yet migrated?

I think the sunsetting is very premature. Python 3 became a stable and viable alternative only since 3.6.1 (look at the evolution of async/await before that for example). Giving it 2 years is definitely not enough for enterprise (unles

8ch had a lot of very interesting and non-violent stuff. Have you been reading it regularly? I did. I lived in a socialist country and you did not. Perhaps consider that you might not know where these current trends are pointing to.

So FB's internet peers should depeer Facebook then in their routers, since the original material (the stream) was on FB? Or you prefer your justice selective?

You upload your private SSL key to Cloudflare for example. And I was talking about hosting on your own hardware/colos like most large sites do (7x cheaper than AWS list prices on avg)
