SAP is a behemoth and a success story, but you are missing the point. by the same logic you could even put Oracle in the category. but they are hardly described as a unicorn, or a startup by most people.

unfortunately it is common in the country as big companies or party donor often get "protection" from the govt despite their failings. Deutsch Bank and Volkswagen for example. Big scandal (globally) but at home they merely got a slap on the wrist.

it's easy to resign iphone models every year. it's not as easy to increase chip performance every year. there's a lot of R&D involved, i think in the long run it'll be better but Apple will have to devote more resources into it. you can't just wish for specs. the manufacturers actually get the hard job of trying to make it.

tell that to all the engineers, programmers and researchers who make UAV for war. But I guess it's OK when you're "on the good side"?

they can request a takedown, but giving up private details is a bad precedent. what's next, faceblock.com? lacebook.com? fivebook.com?

when i publish my research it definitely helped when my prof is a co-author. He did help a lot though, but I know many who would just attach their names to thing.

well i heard it was because the AG was looking into PIR AND ICANN. And ICANN could not afford to get subpoenaed into handing over their financials- as any monopoly would.

TLDR- yes it can.
"The minerals incubated with microbes appeared ragged or pitted — as if they had been dipped in acid, not bacteria — after their 864-day incubation. The sterile control minerals, by contrast, retained sharp, smooth edges."
celloductor | 5 years ago | on: No-code founders are on the rise. Are they making money?
yea building complex, polished apps using no-code tools is arguably more harder than just writing code and using frameworks. it's a different set of skills, albeit still a skill so i don't get why programmers are feeling threatened by it.
