The reality is, Google is in a tough place legally with certain content. How will your proposed search disruptor handle these same legal and ethical issues differently from Google?
It seems that entrenched media companies and other businesses that are most threatened by Facebook, Google, and Amazon are the ones who are the quickest to jump on the bandwagon and publish anything they can against big tech.
I think there are valid concerns to be had about big tech companies and the data and influence they have, but a genuine response is to consider the best way to deal with those concerns. Aggressively pushing for the breakup or destruction of their business is an indicator of other motives.
A (non-scientific) look at Wikipedia puts Python's first public release in 1991, and PHP in 1995. But Python's roots actually go back to the late 80s, while PHP was started and released in 1995. PHP was really originally created as a collection of helper functions, not a full programming language.
I.E. someone looks at the leaked code and writes a specification, then posts/shares that spec, and another person or team uses the spec to write a compatible driver without having looked at the leaked source code.
Landing and reusing the Falcon 9 cores is probably a much bigger benefit to their bottom line overall.
Tesla on the other hand has to be able to deliver tons of reliable cars to people all over the place in a competitive market. Delays to the Model 3 mean they're burning money they can't afford to lose while their competitors are rapidly catching up to them.
While SpaceX could continue their successful Falcon 9 launches during the 5 year delay on Falcon Heavy, Tesla will likely be gone in 5 years if Model 3 delays are even close to that long.
Even jQuery is still helpful if you think of how it's accessing the DOM rather than just a set of magic functions to make things happen.
If you know Javascript you can learn Angular or React or Vue fairly quickly.
I haven't seen a claim that fake users played a large role in spreading propaganda or fake news. As far as I understand it the issue lies in what people were sharing and what Facebook identifies as trending news.
That's a pretty different issue from Twitters fake accounts.
You creating a fake college account and forgetting about it probably passes as human enough, there's no concerted effort or agenda to that account besides existing and adding friends at your college.
I think what makes bots and fake accounts generally detectable is consistently pushing certain messages in ways that exceed normal human behavior, as well as showing patterns across many fake accounts.
It's hard to see a pattern in one fake account, but easy to spot it across many.
The prevailing claim that Amazon has already chosen and is trying to extract better incentives seems wrong to me. If that was the case Amazon could have approached ~5 cities from the start with a plan for each and put a far stronger competitive pressure on them.
I think what this is really about is getting the cities to do the leg work of the research and initial planning process. Amazon wasn't going to put together 200 initial site proposals and 20 more detailed ones. By letting the cities make the proposals Amazon can look at far more potential sites than if they had done the research internally.
We were without mandatory seat belts for decades but no one's suggesting we go back to that.
I just don't find the argument that there was a time where we did without something as a compelling counter argument to the perceived utility something serves today.
Maybe some kind of standard local server you could run with an easy module API for adding new kinds of devices? Is that what things like Samsung's smart things hub already does?
The tax incentives play into the overall cost to Amazon for their location, but so does the rest of the plan.
Vue's "two way databinding", i.e. v-model directive, is actually just a syntax sugar that's equivalent to adding an event handler and a dynamic property on the value/text of the element.
I don't disagree with you though, we need solid fiber internet options available at reasonable prices.
An easy example with the fast food restaurants is that they keep opening new locations.
Compare that to sloppy code bases with side effects everywhere where you don't know what it's supposed to do or what it does.
What kind of research have you done on what's available?
I'm genuinely curious as to what's out there and who's working on things like this.
Either way, that was the most glaring shortcoming I saw in my brief foray into IPFS. There's lots of talk about pinning services and paying, not much talk about hosting your own pinning service, which was shocking to me since the idea of IPFS is to be decentralized, especially when most of the traditional bandwidth concerns of hosting your own content are mitigated by the P2P aspects.
From what I've read I could just run the ipfs-daemon on my VPS/hosting server, but is there a user friendly way where I don't have to manually add every file everytime? How easy is it to host a web page with it?
How will does IPFS handle NAT? Could I host my own pinning server on a Raspberry Pi on my home network?
In that model at most the band it going to need professional recording and producing services, and maybe some help from song writers.
But they don't need a middle man in the recording company to front the money and control them.
AMD has committed to the AM4 socket they're using until at least 2020, so if you buy a Ryzen processor and motherboard today, you should be able to use that motherboard with Ryzen class processors until 2020.
