Both criticisms are pointless -

1. Borg precedes K8s and likely is tightly coupled with Google's backend infra - that's to say, Borg gets architected around Google's existing workflow and new backend development is written around Borg's workflow.

2. GoLang was never intended to be an OS-level programming language. It was created to enable more robust, efficient, and rapid development in a particular space. It would be just as silly to argue that Google's three OS projects all eschew Dart.

Backspace has traditionally been a back button shortcut. In a similar complaint, the current key combo to navigate back across all platforms doesn't perform that action when a textbox is focused.

Using collusion without knowing what it means... Businesses make business deals all the time. If I had a company that made an inferior product and wasn't able or willing to invest time and resources to improve it, you know sure as hell I'd look to sell that product IP off before my competitors take all of my marketshare anyway and my company gets nothing for years of pre-existing work.

That's a sensible business move that lets them allocate resources to their strengths. To believe it's some kind of secret or illegal deal is pretty naïve. It's obviously not a mistake either - Hipchat is technologically behind other products on the market, and Atlassian has other core products that are doing really well (JIRA, for example).

I'm sure there's a fair amount of business logic between what's in the database and what's delivered to the presentation layer. Pulling from a database means that the new company has to reverse engineer Hipchat's API implementation.

> Android-on-Windows compatibility layer

This was one of the big mistakes made by OS/2 when they were competing against Windows. They created a compatibility layer for Windows applications, which meant that developers never wrote native apps for their platform, leading to a very poor user experience and gave Windows a leg-up on its competition. I doubt Microsoft wants to make the same mistake.

Just a quick nitpick, I would like to see the links expand to their entire <p> parent elements, so the entire box is a clickable link, not just the text inside.

My most hated at the moment? Those ads that hijack page scrolling and don't let go until you've scrolled the ad past. Wouldn't be a huge problem if it didn't totally fuck up my browser's scrolling functionality and lag things out.

This seemed like overkill until I remembered their hololens work. Now it makes perfect sense and seems like a smart play.

It's about the same as how you'd approach modern programming, except instead of watching variables you'd watch registers and addresses in RAM/VRAM and work backward from there. Hell, you could even look specifically for instructions that manipulated those addresses.

I remember reading about this a few years ago, and observed network activity using Facebook. They certainly did capture what you type but fail to post. I would put serious money on them mining that data, too, since it can reveal someone's true uncensored thoughts.

Yes, it is what we do with insurance. The crux of the matter is that driving is a privilege, incarceration is a restriction on/revocation of a person's rights.

Healthcare is a good demonstration of where lines are blurred (at least in the United States). Some view it as a right, others don't.

There has to be a space between the OS and X for it to work for me.

It's about the journey, not the destination. But are you seriously suggesting he change it to a clickbait URL?
