Government and corporations are natural enemies, they are two halves of an ecosystem that must be maintained in balance. This is a good thing.

So the laws that Parliament votes on just appear in session magically? They're not written by EU citizens and politicians?

That only reinforces my argument. Apple could have waited, but they decided to go ahead now and bring it to the EU later when they can address the concerns. That's great, that's the law working.

Lots are bad, some aren't.

> It's not as if Apple doesn't have the money to dedicate a team to matching the EU's requirements on a deadline. They just choose not to. Exactly, that's actually why I LIKE this decision so much. I'm not on App

I think for most companies EPIC is too much, and EPIC tends to agree, they won't talk to you unless you have at least a thousand providers. I can't pick one over all, it really depends on what your health care company does. I rese

8 pieces is easier for a human than 10. You halve it, then again, then halve the remaining quarters. For 10 you'd need to work harder to get the angles right and that's a lot harder.

That is both an excellent question and the root problem at that company. The PE firm was a majority shareholder, drive the board, and there were two board members who were HEAVILY involved in the company. Too heavily, they kept making decis

Oh yes, I've had proposals rejected for terrible reasons. "I like bragging we can afford Salesforce." "We're special, other companies can't do what we do and other platforms can't do what Salesforce does.&

SF has worked very hard to cultivate that reputation, and at the end of the day they're mostly an overpriced application host. Once you communicate to the stakeholders that what they have in SF is just another application, and not actu

Misleading headline statement, no clarifying statements later that is restricted to HTTP traffic, graphs chosen to support the misleading message. Putting out the truth behind an asterisk isn't being honest.

It's aggressive but true. Spam traffic exceeded real email back in 2003. He's not even in the right DECADE to declare a first for non-human traffic. It's pure marketing BS that is only remotely true if you accept the conditio

I'm work-friends with one of the project leads on Portal, and I felt terrible for him when Portal launched. It was right after all the Cambridge Analytica stuff that gave Facebook a massive privacy-blackeye. I said, "I think it&#x

SpaceSniffer is an even better version of WinDirStat but I rarely see people talk about it, too.

That's not the problem, the problem is when they take it out of these companies, where it goes after that is irrelevant. Once the exodus starts prices will plummet and lots of people will lose a lot of value.

In my opinion the amount of money poured into these companies is the definition of irrational exuberance. And even if you want to call it dread, once they start to deflate people will panic and flee.

Irrational exuberance rarely transitions to a rational drawn down. The minute the first selfish-actor flood-liquidates, everyone else will too. That's now runs work.

I see both sides, having a removable dock-cable is nice but then you run the risk of users using low-spec cables that don't work with the dock, and people blame the dock.

I totally agree. Right now the apps that can notify me are phone, text, email, what's app, and a few bank apps. You are 100% right about turning it off on everything else. I also stopped doing store loyalty cards about 7 years ago and
