Best make sure you don't do or say anything offensive either because even a contract with a major cloud host like Amazon won't keep you from being screwed, just ask Parler. Regardless of whether you agree with their platforms take on free speech they had a contract with Amazon that Amazon broke and justified under the guise of fighting <pick your="" favorite="" anti-free="" speech="" meme="">.
The recent purges on social media culminating in Parler being kicked off of the Amazon cloud despite its contractual agreement is all the proof anyone needs as to why its a bad, dumb even, idea to rely solely on the cloud. This situation with Proves that the free market doesn't protect consumers. If you want to ensure that your business is not susceptible to someone else whims or political ideology then you best not rely solely on the cloud.

The former Google CEO also seems to think antitrust only kicks in at 100 percent market share "This one goes to 11"

Never heard of Orkut, Blogger, Buzz or Wave.

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Perhaps, but I hoped his reasons were sensible, to recoup the time wasted on polishing PowerPoint decks. I've seen it, and it ain't pretty.

Low-code/No code can run businesses. Developers should take them more serious.

NASA shared astonishing images of its OSIRIS-REx spacecraft touching an asteroid yesterday, revealing how the vehicle stirred up rocks and debris on the object’s surface when it made contact. It didn't break into smaller asteroids? (Good thing the UFO wasn't around)

NASA wants you to get excited about the moon — or more specifically, about a mysterious new science result the agency plans to unveil on Monday (Oct. 26). Apparently when it hits your eye like a big pizza pie, it's amore.

Soo.. a funding trip from Nasa, or real news? Given the amount of time, I'm betting the first.

Yeah, it seems that lately whenever NASA announces an upcoming "big announcement", it comes off very flat. So, yeah. Probably something to push for funding (more proof of water or something). No monoliths.

If you ask Chrome to delete all cookies and site data whenever you quit the browser, it’s reasonable to expect that this policy applies to all websites. Recently, though, a bug in the browser meant data wasn’t being removed for two sites in particular: Google and YouTube. By "bug", they mean, "Bugger! We got caught"

An unusual new idea in neuroscience suggests that our consciousness is derived from a field of electromagnetic waves given off by neurons as they fire. "Pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side"

Whahaha 
Yes, that's how our brain percieves reality.

Great; so we need to prepare for robots with depression and anxiety issue's.
