Stop.Just stop.You guys always begrudge success when Africans do good things.It is pathetic and low.You ought to learn to appreciate and celebrate people when they work hard to achieve success rather looking for ways to belittle their achievements.
Yes.It is time for Cubans to have access to internet.
You are quite naive to think every human being in the world must learn how to code in order to earn income.
I like this.Google can sometimes do good than evil.
Good job.We all need privacy on out data one way or the other.
And with all these MA,MS,MA,PhD in CS and their curriculum,you end up working for someone with a high school diploma that still bosses you around.
Well,you guys are part of the problem.That is high school kids end up spending/getting loans to go to college to study course they can easily learn at a fraction cost by themselves.
And not too distance reasons why boot-camps are everywhere.You try to make computer science/tech looks like extra ordinary adventures.I repeat you don't need four walls of university to learn almost everything you need to know in computer science.
If i had had information that i have now,i would have dropped out of college in a heartbeat.I don't need to give you any example of people who drop out of computer science study and still excel.They are everywhere.Don't say that these folks are exception because they are not.
I understand that some folks need structure to excel in anywhere they find themselves in life.
With all due respect,i disagree with you.I have a master degree in computer science from a university in Chicago and i can tell you that most of these courses can be learned by yourself.You just need to be self-disciplined and self-motivated.And constantly ready to learn.This field is all about continuous learning.Nobody teaches me Chef,Docker,Ansible,AWS in the university.
Infact, American tech industry moves faster than most computer science departments in terms of new technology.
When i look at the course outline of online Master in Computer science from Georgia Tech last week,i laughed.You know what,you can learn it by yourself.Please see
http://www.omscs.gatech.edu/courses/I am a big fan of college education.But computer science is just not one of them.That is my experience.YMMV.My CTO has a degree in Visual Communication.He taught himself all what he knows.You know what,we both earn six figures,i can tell you that you wont know that he does not have any degree in computer science.
What can we do to these Chinese hackers as this is getting common from them these days?
Competition is good for everyone as almost everybody(developer) benefits from lower prices.More Iaas and Paas need to compete with Google and AWS too.
Some people in San Francisco just cant stand progress at all,no matter the benefit. Too bad.

These are not scientists at all.These are coke lobbyists who sell their souls for coke's money. Shame on them.
