Huge +1 I really only listen to whole albums. Especially Tame Impala, Father John Misty, Mac DeMarco, Lana Del Ray, Fleer Foxes, St. Vincent, Sufjan Stevens, and on. Those type of artists won’t change because of whatever the Spotify CEO bel

Oof yeah you're not wrong! It was well-intended for sure, but you've made a good point regarding regulatory capture. How can we achieve both a) increased security beyond a your basic acronym certificate* and b) democratized access

I'd love to be a part of that postmortem, and perhaps a new compliance standard could be formed if root cause turns out to be a technical shortcoming.

A recent thought I had. Before a service can be authorized for use by public officials, it should go through security compliance similar to PCI, PII, or SOX. Most public offices obviously don't command armies nor nuclear codes, but one

Eh but there's a couple reasons in my mind why this might be reasonable. First, Reddit isn't a 1st Amendment platform; they make the site, they make the rules. Like it or not, that's how it is today. Second, you have to stop

That's disappointing to hear. Something that's been made clear to me over the past month is that law enforcement actions without true consequences enables further transgressions against the public that they're meant to serve.

Though I could also say that's an overestimation of people's ability to understand that looting is pre-coordinated and planned by outsiders. Local news broadcasts play a big part in this, because that's the only thing my pare

2 things, 1) Why do you consider Google Docs to be any different than Word? They both serve the same market, so you might as well be asking why not standardize around Word. And 2) given the intended uses of Google Docs/Word, the bigges

I don't trust an engineer that can't troubleshoot their own software running in production. I think the "you write it, you own it" adage is really smart and raises all tides when engineers are empowered to root cause eac

Microsoft seems to have tried to unify their developer story in many incarnations now. So my biggest question is, why will this one succeed where others have failed? I see absolutely no evidence to suggest this is better than previous attem

Hi Torkel, this issue has been open since 2016[1]. There is incredible demand for it yet complete silence from Grafana on committing to the effort. Can I get official word on this please? [1] https://github.com/grafana/

You might not want to hear it, but those that were fired recently were using their company email address to organize union discussions. You just can’t do that, no matter how justified one is to pursue unionizing.

That presents a big problem because athletes are also living a fantasy where they all imagine going pro. Less than 1% of college football players go pro! Same order of magnitude for college basketball players.

Yes, this is self-sabotage, I would never hire him and I would leave a company if they were to hire him. Yikes. Edit: and I didn't catch the audio clip at the end until just now! Wow. What is this guy thinking??

This is an interesting exchange if only for the thread developing instead of a single reply from a rep; it’s nice to see that level of engagement. More importantly, this dialogue speaks volumes to Google’s stubbornness. Seth’s/Google’s

LinkedIn has one! Yesterday it listed my time with my current employer as 2 years and 9 months. Today, it’s 2 years and 8 months! Can anyone venture a guess on how I time traveled?

It's not mutually exclusive, Congress (whether they exercise it or not is another question, but) has the capacity to do both.
