The problem right now is: if I am in Italy and I send an SMS to a French phone (regardless of where it actually is) I spend 30 cents as this is not regulated in any way by the roaming laws. On the other hand if I'm roaming and I send an SMS to any cell phone in Europe I pay 7 cents.

This means that most of the time if you have someone visiting you there is a huge asymmetry in prices when corresponding, the only problem is: I don't know how they're ever going to address this.

You assume that operators are already working in the margins, which is far from the case.

> With their experience
In mobile/tablets? Did you read the article - there have only been a handful of intel devices (and less cores) out there that intel has had a part in. Virtually every mobile phone and tablet out there has been ARM (including Nokia from the past).
> fabrication process
You don't need to own a fabrication process to be competitive in mobile, since in that market cost and power efficiency matter more than performance, so OEMs will stick with a process that is good enough for now and then they'll al move to a newer one. This is not what the market competes on.
> tech
Yes, their tech is very performant. Yes, if I want to crunch numbers I will buy an Intel chip. But if my mobile phone has a Xeon, it will run out of batery in 30 minutes. Even Atom chips are an order of magnitude less power efficient than cores of other companies in mobile.

So, no, they can't 'rip the competition' in mobile easily.

Scott McNealy said early on that retreating to the Data Center was where companies went to die. And at the time was selling workstations on desks and crushing DEC....

Maybe. That was before cloud computing based on a much cheaper, faster and more pervasive Internet became such a big thing, plus there were at least 3 things that caused them to ultimate fail to where they "retreated" to:

A problem with insufficient error checking and correction plus SRAM chips from IBM that Sun claimed had higher error rates than they anticipated was handled dreadfully, they wouldn't help customers without forcing them to sign NDAs, they initially blamed customer environmental conditions, etc., In short, they showed they couldn't be trusted, which ought to be fatal in the enterprise market.

They consciously decreased the quality of their Intel servers, two things I remember was penny pinching by removing one tried and trusted Intel Ethernet chip and substituting a Marvell chipset one, and kept changing the lights out hardware without changing model numbers, which is what Joylent blamed for their stopping buying from them.

If you couldn't charge it to a credit card, or bought enterprise quantities of stuff, like more than a couple million dollars, you simply couldn't buy their stuff back when it was higher quality, they insisted you go through a VAR or reseller, but few of those were really interested in selling the hardware, and many of the few that might were squirrelly. So before AWS et. al. became a thing, a lot of companies reluctantly bought Dell hardware simply because they could, and by the time they graduated to buying hardware at "enterprise" levels they already had the in-house expertise to manage cheaper but lower quality Dell systems.

And the latter problem, making it hard to buy their stuff (which damages or kills more companies than you think, it's also been a big problem for HP and one reason they didn't get this business), is one of the things that killed DEC.

So comparatively simple failures to execute can be a big part of a company failing at the same time it's facing the Innovators Dilemma.
Yeah... Have actual machine learning experience as well, never heard the term leverage as applied here. Sometimes the nomenclature can confuse people, and I guess the original point about more in depth interviewing processes was related to discerning whether the fundamental knowledge and team fit are there, not whether the candidate is aware of the particular subset of CS trivia the interviewer is currently interested in.

They made $99 million losses in 2015. Sure 42m is tiny compared to 1.09b rev, but it's half of their losses which does feel weird. If you made losses, why are you compensated at all with bonuses?

I'll take a crack at it. A long time ago, idlewords and pg were both active here and they were the opposite ends of some kind of spectrum. pg would write things and idlewords would throw rocks at them and sometimes write his own things in response. At some point idlewords got temporarily hellbanned. It was supposedly some kind of innocent error but at that point idlewords took his ball and went home.

At some point he started up a bookmarking service to compete with Delicious, and it really took off after Yahoo bought Delicious and then made an unholy mess of it. A lot of early Delicious users (myself included) went looking for an alternative, and there was pinboard, waiting for us, and it was better in a lot of respects.

So he's done pretty well at running pinboard, it is a lifestyle business, and he's an excellent writer and it's hard to tell whether he's a writer that happens to own a bookmarking service or a programmer that happens to be a decent writer. Anyway, a lot of the stuff he's written has gotten some exposure and he's given some talks. I've started to see people talking about his website obesity presentation (http://idlewords.com/talks/website_obesity.htm) in circles WAY removed from HN.

He uses his twitter feed to poke fun at the SV startup scene, too. Overall he's a foil to some of the sillier aspects of Silicon Valley.

> If the mobile providers continue to gouge customers by just transferring the costs to domestic billing, then that is something that the EU should also address

I doubt that'll be necessary, "local" prices are something users can and do check when comparing offers. The roaming issue comes from roaming info usually being small footnotes, most consumers not thinking about the subject (and not considering they'd need it) and needs changing, most people didn't really need data roaming a few years ago, things are markedly different with the "always connected" smartphones.

Basically, roaming prices were a place where MSPs could safely gouge a small fraction of consumers (and make them feel bad for it) without much risk of building up a big protest movement. Most of them apparently didn't see or refused to act on the winds changing, and thus the EU hammer coming down on the practice.

And that's perfectly valid. In fact, it's one of the best reasons to use a framework.

If I hand-roll my application with a cobbled-together framework, I am the only one who understands how it works. Even if I'm a pretty great developer and write very clean code, there is an inherent complexity cost to any code—whoever comes on board will have to learn how I'm tracking state, managing the DOM, etc.

On the other hand, if I just wrote it in React I could be fairly confident that another web developer could pick up the project and easily understand how things are working with minimal effort. They've likely already paid the complexity cost of understanding React.

That's what the article and OP entirely miss. We don't use frameworks to improve the speed of the application. We don't even use frameworks to improve the speed of development. We use frameworks to improve the speed of understanding.

From mid-2017 those unlimited plans need to carry over while roaming without surcharge. They can however switch off the connection after you reached a (yet to be defined) limit to stop perpetual roamers, i.e. those buying SIM cards from countries other than their residence.

Going from "not written to be easily maintainable" to "unmaintainable" is exactly the problem you see very often. Instead of investing a bit of time to learn things and make them incrementally better people cry foul when it's not perfectly to their liking (i.e. if they haven't written it themself) and tell you later when you ask them if that monstrosity they've written was really necessary - which probably doesn't work and/or has bugs which had been already fixed in the original codebase - that it was "unmaintanable" and so they "had" to rewrite it.

I don't necessarily think this is a bad decision. Intel currently dominates high performance computing and data center chips, and if they lose that edge they will really lose.

Maybe it makes sense for them to instead double down on that and try to maintain their lead in those areas. Mobile markets are high volume but lower margin.
I'd like to correct some misconceptions you seem to have regarding React.

React doesn't have a shadow DOM.

They tell me that you can cover the tracks of your desasters long enough to move on, so that problems surfacing later are attributed to the maintenance programmers and not you, even if your "great" choice of frameworks were the real reason.
Ok, I think I see what they are attempting.

I like instant answers, but the DDG guys need to learn how to play nicely in this space. They are a search engine, not a content provider. One of the key issues I think sites have with Google at the moment is that if they start pulling in their data then people don't actually visit their page.

Wikipedia is a good example - it relies on contributions from the general public, and if people just get aggregated data packaged on the search engine that's great for the searcher, but not very good for the site. StackOverflow is another site that I could well see affected.

I'm not sure how this could be solved, but there needs to be a way for sites that rely on community engagement to get active participants, otherwise the unintentional consequences of this may be that they are adversely affected - or they might start competing more directly... Which is what the WMF tried to do, in the most ridiculously crack-handed way possible.

I'm starting to use DDG, you guys (I'm assuming you are from DDG?) have improved and you are more nimble and transparent. I'm hoping this big of feedback might lead to some thoughts and with a bit of creativity some sort of mechanism could be put into place to solve this.
Steve's point is certainly valid. In this case I'd add that Intel seemingly convinced themselves that a number of things that would be good for Intel such as x86 across both mobile and desktop represented market reality and customer desires whether or not they did.
Of all things, Outlook. It lets you create aliases that you can delete at any time.

By "alias", I mean entirely separate @outlook.com email account.

Once it's set up, you can either

- Create a rule ("Recipient contains", <new email account>) to to for example delete email sent to that account, if you don't want to lose the alias

- Delete the alias - I do NOT know if you can reregister it in future, if it gets reserved, or what happens here.

Society has shifted from the client to the server and back again a couple of times before, and don't forget that one of the biggest web sites out there (Twitter) has switched back from the client to the server.

Pure client-side technologies have many disadvantages, including a long initial load time, high local memory usage and high CPU usage. Ironically, a browser tab in Chrome can easily take up a magnitude more memory than a Java EE server takes up.

And don't forget that the client-side ecosystem is anything but stable. Google the phrase "javascript framework of the week" and the term Javascript fatigue.

Even if you do want to go with client-side UIs, there's a wealth of technology in Java EE to back these; JAX-RS, WebSockets, JSON-P, Bean Validation, JPA, JTA, etc etc.
