Would you rather get on a rocket shop at ground zero or after it's achieved escape velocity? I imagine only founders want to get on it at ground zero. People who get on it after it's reached escape velocity seem to do just fine

I'm not so concerned. I think the only thing that would kill Slack is financial factors (financing if it turns out people don't want to pay for it anymore) or bureaucratic factors (if it gets acquired and then mired in corporate

Have not. We don't do much screen sharing among our own team, and external screen sharing is done using other tools. Interested in other people's opinions about it though.

Honestly, it was so smooth. Deleting old unnecessary channels seems impossible, but whatever. Have all of our chat history migrated over, no complaints. One team member missed the old Slack colour scheme, but he found a Slack skin for Ma

This is the main reason why my team switched to use self-hosted Mattermost. Unlimited message history is important for us, but not worth what Slack would cost when something like Mattermost is available. If you're a tech team with peop

If it was a disgrace to draw the sword, I imagine that swordsmanship and sword styles would not be so highly regarded, and there wouldn't have been entire dojos devoted to specific styles. If that were really the case, I imagine there

It's either that or lose the deposit I paid for the bike. This is cheaper. And if I'm at fault, what's the big deal? I agree I'm the one at fault for not locking the bike.

Mobike rides have the first 2 hours of each trip free. If you stay on longer you need to pay. However, you can just switch bikes after 2 hours to avoid the fee. That hasn't been my experience with Mobike. When I had a paid membershi

I get that. It's of course completely possible that we're only in honeymoon stage. I also understand the psychology that if you're looking for others to fill up your own inadequacies, you may run into trouble. But in my ca

Reading my comment, I can understand why you'd advise this. I think it's unnecessary at this point because I understand a lot more about myself that I didn't before and was getting to a good place just before I met her. Tha

What company out there doesn't do PDFs? Genuinely curious. I'd hesitate to say that switching to non-PDF data would raise investor confidence all that much.

I got married last year. Before I met my wife, I wasn't sure what I was doing with my life. For a time, I was fairly depressed about lots of mistakes I had made. I wasn't sure I had anyone who could understand me or help me. M

If we accept lighter baseballs as a way to get more home runs, what's wrong with corked bats or any other mechanical mechanisms that could be used to juice home runs? Sammy Sosa was suspended 8 games for using a corked bat, which was

I'm not sure why they would ban Winnie the Pooh. If I were Xi, I think it would be a fantastic image-softening strategy. Look at him, he's like Winnie the Pooh, so cute and cuddly and trustworthy! I would have totally taken the

Don't keep your feet parallel. Keep them in a V-shape, with heels pointing towards each other. Much easier.

The implication seems to be that gp has never interviewed and hired people who "had this sort of independent and outside-the-box thinking".

Hah, that reminds me of the scene in The Wire when a mayoral candidate asks a popular former mayor why he didn't run again. The guy replies that all he did was eat bowls of shit that various constituents brought him every day. One

I believe Chinese cash is contributing to soaring real estate prices in specific cities worldwide, though I do not believe it's the sole root cause. That being said, I was attempting to clarify what the article was discussing, not my

I bought a Pebble 2 and it was delivered just before the sale to Fitbit. It's great value for money, and I love the battery life. It's too bad they couldn't figure out a way to become more independent.

The article doesn't say that drug money is used to buy properties. The drug money is loaned out to people who are already homeowners. What they've done is created an unexpected mechanism to launder drug money by loaning the mone

When I read the article, it doesn't seem to say that Chinese cash is propping up real estate prices. Rather, Chinese drugs get smuggled into Canada, the Canadian proceeds from selling those drugs then get loaned to homeowners who don&#

The unfortunate thing is that to get complete data, you'd need full web cam coverage of your home in order to catch all instances of your cat sleeping over 24 hours. Otherwise your data risks being incomplete, or worse, skewed. The lev
