Not debating on what the US govt should do- I think Mr Gates should seek funding elsewhere if the govt is not going to be a cooperative player. EU is both interested in reducing the effect of man made climate change and of course in new energy technology
I'm no protectionist but let's face it- if tomorrow US stops funding NATO, the entire Europe will speak Russian (in as much time as yesterday's MIT study concludes it will take them to reach fluency)
The health system is held hostage by insurance companies but making pointless comparisons helps nobody
runaway success of oss Linux on the desktop? I'm a full time user but I can't tell you how much I hate he constant hardware issues. it's 2019 and I cannot hibernate or sleep my laptop reliably. the backlight doesn't work without fiddling with kernel Params.
It's an incredibly shitty thing to malign someone when they have no opportunity to respond. You only bring up issues a small number of decisions which do not make or break a company, which leads me to wonder maybe if your animus was personal.
Being a CEO means a lot of things- a single software use means nothing.
Do you have absolutely any data about the number of MS shops using docker? Microsoft is actually pushing docker in windows big time, and they won't spend so much effort if it weren't asked by their clients. Did you ever ask Steve what his reasoning was behind the push? Or you just didn't like Microsoft so figured it was a bad decision by itself?
Reminds me of the time there was a comment wondering what the OS on Microsoft watch was- someone responded with a speculation - an erlang vm with js for gui
I just want to put something out there since yesterday somebody mentioned that the password manager isn't portable if it's Windows only.
I'd argue that portability is defined by how many people can use your product and a hardware native Windows only password manager runs on 93% of worlds desktop but a RAM hogging electron apps can only run on enterprise grade computers.
Qt apps are cross platform and portable, electron apps might be the former but definitely are not the latter.
please don't be shy Steve- just say it out loud - "when await arrives"- you'd be the last person to be blamed for circle jerk
