It's interesting you skipped a few examples in the parent comment's point, but to pick one: the apparent quorum of that "big tent" you speak of has resulted in an outcome where the sitting health secretary of the US is o

I see Peter Thiel conversing repeatedly with someone who was convicted in Florida in 2008 for procuring a 17-year-old for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. You’re writing a lot here to obfuscate that. If Mr. Thiel didn’t know, that

Your link is paywalled, but while looking for a way to read it I found the author has been criticized for this specific article you’re linking: https://fair.org/home/millennials-moved-right-nyt-cherry-pic... Also: even

Respectfully, this totally ignores that the funding for most things in this country comes right out of the cities. To use your terminology, "left leaning" places are ~70% of GDP. Also, just because some guys in rural areas collect

This feels like an unreasonable expectation for the people who would be reporting to him. If someone in your future/present management chain wrote a "I think people like slibhb are bad at this job" missive somewhere, would yo

Article title is actually "Introducing Transfer Appliance: Sneakernet for the cloud era", can someone change how it's presented here? This was not a good improvised title.

Take a moment to look at the construction of this report. There is no easily readable timeline. It is not discoverable from anywhere outside of social media or directly searching for it. As far as I know, customers were not emailed about th

Without some direct information from Apple, it's perfectly valid to wonder if they were manipulated in some way. There aren't any facts available to us that point in one direction or the other.

2. Of the YC companies that use hosting providers, 55% use AWS, 13% use Cloudflare and 6% use Rackspace. Cloudflare is a CDN exclusively, right? Why are they counted among the hosting providers and not with CDNs in the next line?

It's really smooth on my 5X, FWIW. I unlock the phone with my fingerprint, hold it over the thing, it vibrates and then I'm done. I'm using it daily.

Can you link to where they admit to anything more than the possibility of wrongdoing? What they're saying appears to be "we involved humans, we acknowledge humans can be biased, we will remove some human involvement going forward&

Amazon does sell ads, actually. A quick search would have shown you this[0], and they show up for Kindle users, on www.amazon.com, and elsewhere. It is highly likely Echo will be involved at some point. I think the rest of your post is conj

Apple's third party keyboard message might be surprising, sure. It should probably not surprise you that the authors of your keyboard software are theoretically capable of seeing what you type on your keyboard though, if you think abou

Google removed Amazon's app for violating the ToS, which clearly states that you may not sell your own app store through Google's. This is still entirely on Amazon's bad behavior. Also, your theory sort of excuses Amazon but

Yep, this is totally on them. It's led me to stop using their video products, and we're not renewing Prime after this period expires.

Amazon has a very bad track record of integrating with other services: do you think you'll be able to watch this on a normal Android phones? or an Apple TV? or a Chromecast? will they let other places on the internet embed videos easil

I feel like asking "what kind of updates" is too vague a question to reasonably answer. Yes, updating any software adds some risk of something breaking. This is not unique to OnHub. This is still a pretty nice feature for most peo

Employees of other companies are not a cult, though this perception is common internally to Amazon. It discourages you from quitting, and stigmatizes people who leave. Think about this next time you have a conversation where everyone quotes

I suspect only EC2/S3 and their paired services (EBS, IAM, etc) gain enough use to qualify as "enormous" and thus receive wide attention for their failings. AWS has a lot of services: https://en.wikipedia.org&#x2
