And, in a way, this is the standard by the fact that they are not required to show the banner if no non-essential cookies are being used :)

No, they just don't use any non-essential cookies.

This is awesome!

I totally agree. After watching only a second of the video I am convinced that this is not Mark Zuckerberg and that this video has been faked.

Love it. Finally somebody questions the status quo of the economy class. I wonder how this new design competes in terms of price and weight? In the end I doubt that airlines are willing to pay more for economy.

I love it how they decided to spend the money fighting the patent trolls. I started reading the article because the title reminded me of Richard in the Silicon Valley TV series. Happy to read that in the real world the patent trolls got busted!! :)

This is incredible, thanks for sharing. I had the exact same thoughts the author is describing in the beginning - how hard can it be? It turns out super hard. And one shouldn't forget that it is one of the few input methods to our computers. With voice not working properly and drawing on the mouse pad / touchscreen being too slow I would argue it is still the number one input method. So the expectations towards UX are extremely high and there should be no faults. I admire anybody who works on some kind of text input mechanisms from this day on.

To me, today's internet was born with the invention of HTTP by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. It's still an interesting article and a great achievement, but a big piece has still been missing. One can definitely credit them for providing the base though.

"Google dropped out last October without submitting a formal bid, saying the military work conflicted with its corporate principles, which preclude the use of artificial intelligence in weaponry."

I think we can't assume that these people have access to a computer, which is necessary to be able to root it. In the article the author refers to "smartphone only users" who can barely afford a 17$ smartphone. Even if there was a service available in their region which offers rooting Android devices, a lot of people might not afford to do so.
