I like how the SEC filings now contain slides like from a round pitch. "Here is a graph. Here are reference. Buy our stock. Go technical! Underlying?, meh... we chose not to"

I feel that over-focus on the interplay undermines core product. Power Point, RDP, Office. Outlook has significantly dropped in usability with introduction of 365. Overforced Win10 with Metro sandboxing undermines usability in many regards,

Mathematical model matches, since a mathimatical arbiter eliminating Head Of Line blocking also incurrs the additional latency penalty due to the extended path and additional switching elements. However the latency penalty is incomparable t

A lot of uproar, but have you ever tried to teach a 60yo veteran working his paper trail to switch to python? The laid off personnel did not have the required skillset, and would be fired regardless of the source of replacement, H1B or loca

Very interesting Tesla's response: 1. The car was not brand new and was actually driven, which is horrible. 2. NHTSA did not investigate anything, they just asked us for the documents. 3. We don't ask customers to sign anything, j

Material science lifecycles are measured in decades. Just because you "haven't seen it before" does not mean it can't happen. It means you're not testing well enough, or that your data sample is not good enough. Noo

The title is misleading, as the first words on github are: "This repo contains a select number of files". The title should say "Dump of some of the files". Considering the state of popularity if the Edge, maybe even &quo

So what is "IP Score" in the car analogy? A World-wide DMV? With all user information exposed to either a closed-source entity, or an open source effort?

The car-analogy is a good sign that the speaker is not able to express the thought directly. The networks are not that simple, and the analogy breaks down at depth for every comparison. Like the modern drivers who consciously chose not wear

That's one way to look at it. But Chinese view US regime as oppressive, and any opinion to the contrary would result in the downvote fairies of the 50-cent army slashing your karma to oblivion, in a similar way I lost about 25 points o

That's their business model - people are their product. That's how they make money. That's the only way they make money. They sell people to advertisers. What's not wrong with that?

I love both GitLab and DigitalOcean, but why do I feel so devalued by IT deflation? The longer I'm part of something and the more effort I put into promoting a platform, the less perks I get. Why? I understand the importance of new cus

Came here to post it, but too late! Good job @fweespee_ch! The importance of this announcement is that DigitalOcean is all over Fortune 500, and GitLab partnership means that Git is not only mainstream - it's THE stream.
