Ethics aside, because nobody in an emergency room wouldn't want a cure. We as a species IMO should be focusing 75% of our resources on biology for curing diseases and life extension, There is lots of space in this universe & our limiting factor right now is age / death

There is just something amazing about holding a physical book compared to a ebook reader. I think it has to do with there being so much information today, that having a limited amount is actually satisfying.

I'd rather have ads then paywalls. Youtube is now trying it with the "red" program & if that's the case say good bye to a free internet.

Hi hope Google charges everyone $1 for a search instead for being free. Then people with money will own all the worlds information. Genius

"increasinglu".... i hope you guys/gals get this buyout figured out. You really have something here & I hope it doesn't get lost in translation to a new company.

" in a Google+ post."

Wow, just when you think the world isn't bad enough. The unemployed are now forced to use Google+ to post messages to the world.

Take a look at the attack code people. It's very clear this is a state sponsored attack using baidu, they are targeting VPN software hosted on Github that's used to bypass firewall restrictions in China.

It's not like baidu would randomly install attack code against github for "no reason". Additionally, it's been 125 hours now & they still haven't taken it down.

It's simple, the oil will be shipped by train as it is now. Which obviously emits way more greenhouse gasses then a pipeline. Rich people aren't gonna "stop" trying to make money of energy because of no pipeline lol.

Get over it, Genetic engineering of humans is the future for our species. People "Dying" is something that will be looked back on like we do the middle ages.

We will evolve, we will survive and we will spread out into the galaxy. DNA engineering is the future.

Here's the truth, if you pay them XYk-XYZk (They NDA you) per year you get added to their "safe" list no matter what. Google, Facebook & pretty much every semi-legit ad network does. They brag about it & it's expensive.

It's not about the ad's being "safe" it's about how much you pay them. They have TONS of shady networks that pay the fee because it's ROI effective to do it.

It's a genius business model with almost no costs at all.

Adblock in my experience is roughly 10-15% of all internet traffic. This is based on real stats, impressions go up this much when you get around it.

Conversely for advertisers, the traffic generally is almost worthless & generates very little revenue at all. But the Ad network's don't care because the majority of Ad networks operate on a CPM basis. It's dirty.

If you write good code, gender, race or background doesn't really matter. It's the great equalizer.

Guys are the butt of "jokes" everyday to in the office place. It's not something directed only at women lol.

Reed & Netflix is FOS when it comes to Net Neutrality, when you truly don't believe in something, you don't compromise your values for cash like they did with Comcast.

How can we have a world free from NN, when one of the worlds biggest websites by bandwidth usage, pay's off an ISP for "premium" access to their network.

How about you practice what you preach Netflix, instead of whining when the cost is to much for your shareholders to bear. Pussy's.

Try & apply for a job at, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, etc with a 2 year degree. Good luck.

Imagine you had to pay every time you wanted to watch a YouTube video? Like when you goto a movie, or order cable TV, I'll gladly wait 10sec & click skip, vs shelling out money every time.

People seem to forget, the internet RUNS on advertising money. It's what pay's the "real" bills for servers, staff & redbull's.

IMO, if ads stopped across all internet sites, or the online advertising industry completely collapsed. The internet as we know it, would be gone.

Microsoft is saying the US has no jurisdiction over "Microsoft Ireland" not "Microsoft US" & technically they are right. It's a completely separate business entity.

You see, to avoid paying high taxes in the US. Microsoft like Apple, Google etc... create parent companies in foreign countries. To which they pay huge sums of revenue in licensing fees to lower or sometimes completely avoid paying any tax in the US. Ireland specifically up until recently was THE cornerstone for this tax scheme. It's also legal in the US btw.

Microsoft doesn't want to open itself up to tax obligations in the future by allow these types of requests.

Watch the documentary "We're Not Broke" on Netflix, about $2.4 trillion in corporate tax avoidance since 2000-2013. They explain this legal scam & Ireland is front and center in implementing it. Taxes are the reason they are fighting this.
