A double standard. Sadly present in most communities since the dawn of humanity.

The goog has no qualms in pulling the trigger, that's for sure. Jacquard by ATAP was a favourite of mine. I was going to say that's the price of innovation, but it has been a while since a new successful product release. Maybe the graveyard's fate is to go down in history like xerox parc (innovative but remembered as a footnote). Quite sad.

I can't tell if your list is ironic or not, but there are a couple of items that really help. 4, 6, 7 especially.

Ok, now I'm genuinely interested. Can you expand? Especially on the creepy undocumented file properties part?

John Arnold commented in an interview a couple years ago that Enron Online was a massive success. Even equity holders in ICE preferred trading there due lack of liq.

We are living in a post Dan Schneider world. Feet are off the table.

I think nsfw stats bursted that bubble, not danny.

The underwear worn outside of the pants are a dead giveaway.

That sounds like a terrifying cyberpunk novel that I would definitely read. Although I hope the future is not that bleak.

Reminder of the film Gattaca which explored some of the risks of leaking your DNA in a future dystopia.

Excellent movie. Did not see it when it was released orignally, but discovered it by chance going through the tv channels. A real gem.

[paulddraper → idatum]

Such a good movie. (If a bit slow paced.)
