Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I'm failing to see the ambiguity here. He repeatedly says it's in the devices (PC, phones) and then that it's on the edge. So those devices are what he means by the edge.

This comes across as failure to read the text.

Yeah, im saying that for laymen the term edge is vague, and that it is explained by the context of the piece. I'm complaining about the industries weird jargon, and how easily it slips into everyday usage.

And then you hear people say stuff like: "Just put your logs into splork so you can look at the seim (which people pronounce as seam)".
