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)

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.

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
If it's free, it's for a reason.

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?
