Moonshot AI should have made it identify as Mythos as a practical joke to make US go crazy trying to figure out how they got access to it.

On the other hand the Trump administration has successfully managed to make Chinese seem better than American, so there might not be that much of a pejorative context any more..

Building the service is not usually the hard part, but building the ecosystem around it is. There were/are countless services similar to Facebook or Twitter, but only a few of them can be really successful because of herd mentality.

Is it possible that the feature is only used by enterprises because no one else can afford it? Why would anyone contribute to an open source project without compensation? I can imagine that anyone using cheap VPS hosting at multiple locatio

"The hard part [...] is done in the analysis phase..." smells like big design up front that is usually more likely to fail than not, especially so for complex systems.

It's sad how Google, Apple et al. have mostly abandoned the use of open standards in favor of locking users to their own closed, craptastic, proprietary services. Lack of interoperability severely limits the usability of cloud based se

It's interesting how Microsoft is starting to feel like the lesser evil compared to Google. I wonder how many good services/companies have been killed by Google offering an inferior service for free, only to abandon the service la

Pretty much everything about Google is either hilarious or sad, depending on one's point of view.

Yes. Googlers only like their own standards.

It's a good thing that EA botched the new Sim City as it gave small game developers an opportunity to make their mark.

Why should OSM even try to attract users that don't bring in any value by contributing?

Your example seems to prove just the opposite, i.e. only in trivial applications such as web search client API is the API design trivial compared to the implementation. In complex systems, such as programming languages, IDEs, operating syst

I would argue that designing a good API is harder than making a good implementation of the API. The idea vs. execution juxtaposiion seems more apt to software patents that tend to express obvious ideas of low utility as ambiguously as po

It's pretty much certain, if you take taxation, need for continuos development, and long-term competence/competitiveness etc. into account. Especially with the public sector one should look at the big picture, which bean counters

That makes one wonder what is the outcome of a dogfight where you only have aces. Clusterfuck? Somehow that reminds me of the smart asses of Enron... http://www.gladwell.com/2002/2002_07_22_a_talent.htm

Perhaps that explains why Google and other companies obsessed about hiring "the best of the best" seem to struggle getting the basic stuff done. The "A players" only want to work on the interesting stuff and nobody is interested in doing th

It could be argued that the "hire the best people and give them the tools and information to do their jobs" strategy hasn't worked out that well for product management at Google. Google Docs and App Engine are two prime examples of dysfunct
