> Pretty sure that anyone could sit on a pile of Alibaba stock and just do nothing, and come out ahead of where Yahoo is today.

No. You're not privy to the details. Neither am I. It's easy to discount someone for a public failing, but imagine yourself in her shoes. Unless you're a bored corporate exec of a Fortune 500 company, I highly doubt you have the management and financial acumen to keep Yahoo! afloat.

> "This is hacker news, where people are trying to do difficult things to change the world."

Hahaha, I say this partially in jest, but Hacker News is basically for people to bash on dreamers' ideas.

lock in a monstrous market so that they can what? advertise to poor people who can barely afford clean water and food? yeah, great strategy...

You're right, teams don't collaborate by sending each other green giraffe stickers. I don't know how you got that idea in the first place. If your team only sends green giraffe stickers to each, you should probably leave your company.

> "Facebook is only worth 100bn because it sells peoples' person information"

What does that have to do with the security that Facebook has put in place to protect this info so only they can sell it? These seem like orthogonal discussions. You're arriving at the conclusion that Facebook security sucks because it sells peoples' data. That is an illogical argument.

Palmer said it'll be demoed at the E3 booths. Yeah, you're right they should have demoed it onstage.

>>>Contractors will also receive...a $4,000 new child benefit for parents who do not receive parental leave

Contractors definitely did not receive that before...So that's another key point

It would be helpful if you released a short 5 minute video snippet with one of the tech leaders you interviewed. That would make it easier to evaluate how useful the pro package is.

Media in general is not well researched, no matter which country it's in. They're mostly meant to generate headlines.

Yes, it says "Facebook Open Source" at the bottom of the site.

I often ask people if they click on Facebook/Google ads, and they've never said yes. That doesn't mean people in general don't click on ads. The same could be said for Xiaomi. Just because the Chinese you've asked don't love it doesn't necessarily mean it's a company to doubt.

Taking a basic economics course would answer your question.

Those are pretty strong words, "a cancer with douchebags at the helm." Any personal experiences that motivated these words other than joining in the hatred hive mind fostered by the media?

Agreed, the OP's claim is preposterous...

Most Java developers I know write code using Intellij. I used to use VIM for Ruby development and tricked it out with many features to speed up my development. Having said that, Intellij is so much easier to use for Java than tricked out VIM is for Ruby.

Where are you getting these stats from? Would love to see sources.

Your sample size is too small to judge all Stanford MBAs. This is Hacker News. Please bring more substance to the table.

That is quite cynical. Perhaps they want to compete against Dropbox, Microsoft, and Google for users wanting storage.

It's impressive because he's successfully steering his company and picking up an incredibly difficult language for Native English speakers.

Yes, because of some NSFW content on Tumblr, we can safely say Yahoo is building a porn empire...</sarcasm>

I think that's a bit ridiculous to say. Based on that comment, it sounds like you've never used Tinder or Snapchat. There are many users on Tinder who are looking for relationships, and users of Snapchat like to share their moments with each other without having to save the bad quality photos on their phone.
