No online businesses. 1) work email (access from the office or through blackberry work, ugh) 2) personal (that’s actually two addresses on similar domains, but I only actually send from one) — google hosted, read through iOS mail or mail.ap

So why not build two rail systems — in the NE and in California? A lot of people in the thread are arguing the impossibility of even that. Nobody takes passenger trains across the continent — any continent.

This only works for certain types of businesses (which are, for some reason, particularly well-positioned to take advantage of the additional investment). Most long-established businesses should pay me my dividend, I can decide where to inv

DAX is unrelated. There’s M in PowerQuery. It is also not SQL, but I do believe that it’s better for the task.

Which regime do you think built the Autobahn? The American railroads also weren’t built by the nicest, human rights-respecting, non-genocidal, people.

As are stored procs, user-defined functions, triggers, scheduled jobs,.. SQL databases are programming environments, not pure datastores.

Why doesn’t matching in-store prices make sense to you? You are not taking up valuable table space, so it ends up cheaper for the restaurant. The delivery service is certainly taking a share of that benefit.

Why? They have access to the same data, and a similar incentive to monetize. It will just be an _additional_ profit stream, not the only one. (I trust a vpn to not be my isp or someone at the next table at a coffee place with WiFi. I trust

In a typical bank, AML is not part of the CFO responsibility (instead directly subordinate to CEO), and no sane bank will have a CFO whose experience is chiefly AML.

StackOverflow / SuperUser are decent for those kinds of demonstrations these days. Better than anyone I worked with, anyway.

The (urban) solution is socialized housing, rent controls, and density. Not whatever this is.

Rents will go up, as will prices for existing, rentable, houses. So current homeowners benefit at the expense of those who will continue to rent. I have no opinion on the movement of new housing purchase prices. It depends on the kind of la

Good time to be a landlord in Amsterdam. This looks like it’s designed to penalize poor/young/foreign people, who will not be able to benefit from a decrease in new housing prices, but will be hit by the rent increase once new sup

Folders are notes (text+attachments), tags via grep.

I can tick those boxes with just a filesystem, a text editor, and grep. Except, maybe, Evernote import — no idea how that works.

Bose QC35 are, I think, AAC and SBC only, so this is to be expected.

FTPing HTML was infinitely easier than Git+Hugo+S3+Cloudfront. And even if you can somehow cut through all the complexity of modern hosting — you still have to make those HTMLs. Only now they have to be responsive, look no worse than whatev

You could set up a “reader” to download full pages, using RSS as basically a notification service.

Google Reader had a little-known feature — a bookmarklet that opened the next unread item (the original page, not a google reader page). That, for a while, was my preferred method for rssing. A magic button that brings you somewhere good an

Yes, that’s my thinking as well (also — I already pay my ISP for access to the web, why can’t they all just work together and find a way to share?) There is a tricky point though. “allocate the revenue to sites based on which content I read

What I’d love to see is an email-like system where each message is accompanied by a small sum of money (1¢ or so). If the message is not useful to the recipient, they are free to take the 1¢, otherwise, if the message is useful, they wouldn

Out to fuck over competitors, not users (because to microsoft’s business, users = customers). Google is actively making users’ lives worse.
