None of it is part of GTS, cringely doesn't even know how the company is currently organized.

The article linked is just click bait.

Twitter has had issues with monetization, but the idea that the platform is somehow flawed because some idiot used it as a source polling is nuts. You can't determine an election from reading tweets.

Twitter differentiated itself from other social sites by embracing simplicity and mobile. The simplicity of twitter has also hurt it, because it keeps failing at expanding the platform beyond tweets making it a poor growth stock since its user growth has stagnated.

Sorry but 53 million in assets for foundation with that level of operating costs that is rising every year is hardly awash in money. Harvard has a 36 billion dollar endowment, that's an example of an organization awash in money.

I was running Gentoo on my desktop and laptop to get the latest performance optimizations since most distros at the time were optimized for older processors. Ubuntu was really the first distro that was optimized out of the box for performance desktops. I don't miss debugging compilation issues with "emerge world".

If you don't know what Docker is by now you should probably look for a new line of work if you're in IT.

Neither device has a CPU that supports the x64 instruction set. These both have arm chips, though they are both capable of 64 bit operation.

It's not quite what you're asking for (and I'm asking for it too) but I have an Asus RT-AC56U running dd-wrt. It is an arm box with a decent amount of RAM, all gig ports and supports 802.11ac. It doesn't quite run Debian, but I have the next best thing: an SSD attached via USB3 with a Debian install that I run services out of via chroot from a boot script - I essentially turned off all of dd-wrt's services other than the wireless access point and then use the dd-wrt's kernel with a Debian userland for everything else. It took some messing around to get it all working, but it just works now and allowed me to shut off a much bigger device.

It's in fact very common for dynamic content.

Cannot be in the header, since the headers are not compressed in HTTP.

I have no problem with developers installing in DEV, but they should not be pulling the trigger on any environment outside of development. The trick is to make sure that the process is consistent across all environments with different teams executing the release. I sell software that solves these problems, but its usually the process not the technology where the biggest problems reside.

Linux is about choices, you have root and are free to customize as you see fit or go to another distro. (there are plenty that support vanilla GNOME and KDE Desktops) The move Ubuntu is making here is smart. Its about ease of use and design.

The "extortion" claims are way overblown. Yelp generally has very accurate reviews.

Trust me, Yelp is going nowhere. Zagat is a nice legacy brand, and there was a time when their ratings were good and relevant, but that time has passed. The biggest strength of Yelp is the community. People who review on Yelp are not going to switch to Google unless there is some compelling reason. As we've seen with the failure of Google Plus, its very hard to build community from nothing.

That's certainly possible, just like it's possible he tolerates 700 kilobits/second on what he thinks is 21 megabits per second and hasn't pursued it as some acute problem with his service, or just gone elsewhere.

TFA says they are able to come close for a random sampling of users, for what they claim to be a maximum speed for some class of connection. When I see someone post about "21 meg or some shit" and claim to be tolerating 700 kilobits/second in the early evening, I assume they're mistaken or haven't behaved rationally in resolving it.

Sounds pretty likely by the ambiguous units in your post that your expectations are inflated by a factor of 8 because you're misunderstand the units of what's advertised vs. the units in what you're observing.
