if you click the map - just West of the tip of India- it creates a much better division - without slicing populated continents in half
Well done that guy - but this is amazon trying to make itself look warm and cuddly - and maybe they are a bit better than other big online companies but treat uour workers better maybe stop trying to grow infinitely and try and be more sustainable - not to yoru profits margin but your people. Oh and not just "distinguisehd" engineers - box packers too...
Great - can we replace it with a crow if it was the USA, a budgie if it was EU. a magpie if it was Israel, a woodpecker if it was China (etc)
Green if it was tax organisation and yellow if is a criminal one
Perhaps we will learn how to be less sensitive from this - I believe that much of humanities problems are from sensitivity rather than aggression. If we disengage from the conversation and view the interaction as a remote conversation - it is much easier to be dispassionate and calm. I guess it will make real in-person conversation much more fulfilling.
The irony of medium is that it started as a clutter free expression platform.

Likely the cardboardiness is to encourage people to copy it - the software is where they make money surely?
Maybe in the "real world" - its not about money, its about prioritization - and this is South Africa - the tender for water infrastructure would be awarded to a human resources company and money would be squandered on inferior infrastructure. There has simply not been enough priority put on upgrading water supply for the two decades we have known about the ever decreasing dam levels. Its not new - there were other priorities at national level and provincial level - and water problem was shunted, every time as a problem for later. Its not that government/municiplaities were not able to do the work -it was a question of who was paying for it. If a private company wanted to do this the expenditure would have been exorbitant - with very little hope of being remunerated because the income would have remained static - the municipalites would have less budget to maintain the systems and no private company would be able to invest that amount of money and make a profit in any short term.
I think he is naively talking about the display part of googles business - author forgot about adwords, adsense: which makes most of google's cash...
