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 a threat to journalists:

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 interesting. Nothing to see here. To me, that is like

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 5% YoY growth in revenue, which is about 2% growth in

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 argy bargy, really worth visiting? I think Twitter's prob

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 guilty", if only beacuse cultures without it, li

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/or uniquely, so maybe that biases the answer? Als

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 marginal, incremental value of adding a single server once capac

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 then decommissioned, not moved. That may change, but

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 (objectively, rather than ideally).

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 phones, 2 console, an appleTV, 2 iPads and a Kindle). That
