That is true, now that you mention it. I did get looked down on as being a nerd for choosing computer science. I'll bet when a girl chooses computer science, her girlfriends REALLY make fun of her.
Just to be clear, knowing how to negotiate without offending the other person is a skill that needs to be developed. I've more than once made the person I was negotiating with very angry.
Email....had additional pressure from spam. I ran my own email server for over a decade, using my own domain. Eventually I had to give it up because my spam filters were becoming increasingly ineffective,
This is entirely why I don't host my own email right now.
What if: Alphabet sunsets Google+ and then sometime after acquires Facebook?
Right now Facebook's market cap (basically how much it would cost to buy all the stock) is $480billion. That's going to be an expensive purchase, but maybe worth it.
Google plus was a data harvesting scheme. Facebook had been telling advertisers that it knew so much about the users (age, name, likes). Google responded by releasing Google Plus, harassing everyone until they had signed up for an account, then once they had everyone's data, abandoning it.
Many of us would have liked to have seen an alternative to Facebook, but Google just didn't care enough to make that.
No haha. You are still an idiot who tries to diagnose people psychologically that you've never even met or talked to. Not even a traines PhD psychologist will do that. And while we're at it, the only psychological conditions you seem to know happen to be the most trendy ones right now. Do you know any others?
Reportedly because the language doesn't intend to be something new or revolutionary: the authors want to collect the good ideas of past languages, and put them to use. They try to not add features of programming languages that were created in the last decade, for example.
That doesn't mean the features they choose were implemented in popular languages: some were just implemented in research languages.
Uhhhh, name one company that was not "ruined" by money.
Apple. They got ruined by the death of Jobs, not by money.
Facebook hasn't been ruined by money yet. They're still the same clunky software that people love, they haven't lost focus of their original product (and never stopped abusing users' privacy, either).
Oracle has also kept their original focus.
The main point is that Google has clearly changed their focus, and for consumers it's not in a good way. The secondary point was a diagnosis of why: because they found more money elsewhere.
Do you think the way Wikipedia is funded is appropriate for the majority of other websites?
No, I think there will be a variety of ways to fund websites, and the Wikipedia model is just one of many. Certainly (even now with advertising), there is no "one way" to keep websites funded.
I admit, wiithout advertising, many websites would disappear. Those websites would not be missed.
Google is an example of a company that was ruined by money. They had a great mission, "Organize the world's information." Now they have lost track of that in their pursuit of advertising dollars. I think if they had remained smaller, and kept their goal to be "organize the world's information," they would be a better company today. "Better" of course being different than the stock market's usage of "most profitable."
I just haven't yet seen in practice a solution that funds a website's writing and hosting without ads and without multiple subscriptions that total several hundred dollars per viewer per year
There was no good or reasonably intelligent reason to vote for Trump
I didn't vote for Trump, but I can give you a good reason to vote for him over Hillary:
Hillary is a warmonger. Specifically, she is happy to use the military as a diplomacy tool. Whereas chief president blowhard has such strong confidence in his negotiating, talking skills, that he will try to talk the other side into doing what he wants, instead of trying to invade them.

Hiring more workers is cheaper than chronic overtime.
Unless they are paid by salary.

That's too bad.
1 good movie, 2 mediocre movies, 2 mediocre TV shows, and 1 more or less bad movie
Which one is the good movie?
The combination of dealing with two NPDs in among my in-laws (sister-in-law and niece's ex-husband)
Were they evaluated by a psychologist and diagnosed with DPD, or is that just something you deduced yourself?
And FWIW, one thing Donald Jesus Trump has taught me is that Jobs was also a sociopath with narcissistic personality disorder.
And Dunning–Kruger makes you believe you have the ability to diagnose psychological disorders?

How does Jack Bogle only have a net worth of 80 million? Compare this to Bill Gates 80 billion...
Basically, Gates put all his eggs in one basket, and was right. Bogle spread his risk around, but lower risk means lower return.
Fortnite reportedly draws 200 million players per week.
Note this is the international audience, not just the US.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Trump would stumble into more wars than Hillary would enter on purpose,
Maybe. Hillary already led into more wars than Trump has. He has two more years to go, though, hopefully.
Jack Bogle didn't invent mutual funds either. Apparently he did come up with some good ideas, though. That more-or-less matches Jobs, I guess.

Ever been to Wikipedia?
These people hyping e-currencies are like some huckster selling enterprise software and services out of a Radio Flyer wagon.
That's kind of an accurate analogy.

Hillary was the pro-war option.
