Okay, we get it, the tech is there. The moment you put this in restaurants and other places where people need not apply, you're taking away their livelihood.
That's so wrong. Way back in 2012 Amazon already threw a raw deal at Flipkart and they haven't really spoken to each other since.
Also, Amazon have tried to crush Flipkart by essentially dumping their money into long term growth in India and Flipkart survived through it.
The Flipkart board would rather side with Walmart than Amazon, even if Amazon matched Walmart's offer. Walmart has ties with manufacturing in India. On the other hand, Amazon and Flipkart run a marketplace (mostly) in India.
Pretty sure Flipkart would have seen this and has taken the right decision in siding with Walmart.
Amazon's loss unless they can really do something about raw materials and manufacturing in India. That is the real deal now.
That's like telling people not to use their own primitives - or abstractions - or whatever.
I don't use Onenote to store more than a few KBs of data. I really don't see people loading GBs of stuff into Onenote - this article seems to be having made up engineering problems and then telling people not to write stuff where it really matters.
Are you implying that because you went through a couple of good interviews with them, and because one director who works at Google said that they don't hire this way, it doesn't happen?
That's the worst logic ever.
I'm blaming Google for doing this, and you take it to imply that I said you work at Google? Maybe you didn't accept those offers from Google. It still doesn't mean those things didn't happen at Google - and it is extremely shameful that you resort to defending them.
Congratulations, what you have done is just free PR for Google. I'd rather listen to everyone else than you.
They were finally getting to have a fully built out environment - which could lead to better end user packaging, stripping down a library to its bare essentials.
For instance: what have jpackage achieved for a distribution like RedHat? Does anyone's Java App even pick up these RPM based dependencies for Classpath? Heck no.
Every known large scale Java application pretty much bundles a bunch of JARs. (Probably not logstash - but only one exception)
It is very clear that JDK9 will not be as awesome as it was originally supposed to be. Deeply disappointed.
