Is reclaimthenet.org a real news website? None of the writers looks real and I can't find any information on the website on who edits it and fund it. Some articles reek of bias

But it's great for the employees and it's great for innovation.

In which way is Google innovative? They have good products for sure, but I haven't seen much innovation at Google since a while. If anything the past few years have been mostly disappointing (Loon, Calico, Fiber, etc)

That's just incorrect, take the famous marxist Adam Smith:

"When the regulation, therefore, is in support of the workman, it is always just and equitable; but it is sometimes otherwise when in favour of the masters."

I never understood why people were mourning bookstores while libraries seem such a better thing anyway.

Well, why would highly evolved beings with interplanetary travel go to some guy's bedroom to give him a good scare?

You seem to be knowledgeable in this topic, maybe you know any good books about the other aspects of drawing you are talking about? "Drawing from the Right Side of the Brain" is mentioned often, but other books less so.

Thank you

To add on that, has any of those inventions made by students ever pan out?

The other test is to meet their significant other. What qualities did they choose in the person with whom has the most influence over them?

Am I the only one bothered by such a request? I wouldn't want to bring my SO, not only because I wouldn't want to mix my private and professional life, but also because it seems incredibly weird to me to have my private relationships being used to judge me.

Weird and creepy.

A little off topic, but which niche games are you playing/interested on 3DS?

Not really, the linux is a volunteer effort spearheaded by a non-profit where members take advantage of the advance of the kernel for their own products/ideals, while Google is very much a for-profit corporation which benefits here by the increase in users for their services. Services which are ad-supported for the most part.

I think you answered your own question:

  > ChromeOS itself is free to license for vendors

Out of curiosity, what are those other apps?

Do you think they would have any trouble filling that spot?

Outside of joke candidates? Yes, probably.

I think people here tend to underestimate not only people's willingness to live (see the Challenger accident and the resulting scandal), but also their the importance of fulfilling their basic needs.

Beside, castration doesn't make you uninterested in sex as it's not a purely hormonal driven desire.

Reading this, I can't help but notice that none of the people they are hiring comes from a non-profit background, doesn't it surprise anybody?

Would you mind adding a FAQ somewhere as well? I was looking where your funding comes from but couldn't find anything (I'm going to guess reading the blog you want to sell an enterprise version?).

Spending on telegram's servers only is ~1M/month

Isn't that too much? I mean, setting aside if that's the precise number for Telegram, isn't 1 million a month just for 100M users not impossible?

Well French isn't a bad guess, is it, considering she moved to France, married a Frenchman, became a French citizen, took his French name and probably spent most of her life in France?

You make it sounds like she did it out of choice, like someone who would take a nationality out of kinship, but the reason why she moved to France have little to do with French sympathies but more prosaic reasons:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marie_curie#Early_years

After Russian authorities [Poland was partly controlled by Russia at the time] eliminated laboratory instruction from the Polish schools, he [MC's Father] brought much of the laboratory equipment home, and instructed his children in its use.[11]

Unable to enroll in a regular institution of higher education because she was a woman, she and her sister Bronisława became involved with the clandestine Flying University, a Polish patriotic institution of higher learning that admitted women students.[10][11]

Maria made an agreement with her sister, Bronisława, that she would give her financial assistance during Bronisława's medical studies in Paris, in exchange for similar assistance two years later.

Also, as per wikipedia:

While a French citizen, Marie Skłodowska Curie (she used both surnames)[6][7] never lost her sense of Polish identity. She taught her daughters the Polish language and took them on visits to Poland.[8] She named the first chemical element that she discovered‍—‌polonium, which she isolated in 1898‍—‌after her native country.[a]

The real story here seems to be Trump's impressive showing, having both the most votes per $ AND the most votes per day spent there.

No, it's rather the idea that you cannot say "AI beats Go master" or "AI masters Go" if it didn't actually attain some sort of high ranking by itself. Beating a low-ranked player while still interesting is not necessarily a proof of proficiency but could be due to just blind luck for example.

I like the idea behind this, pretty cool. I'm wondering about this though.

friends will automatically figure out which "Grace" and "George" you're referring to, even if you're friends with lots of different Graces and Georges.

How does this work? For example, if I have two equally good friends named "Grace", how can "friends" guess which one I'm talking about?
