Every company, once it reaches a certain size, only can grow materially through certain venues: government contracts, financing, advertising, etc.

They are an "X for Y" startup in a space that...really doesn't need disruption? Normal banks with tellers named Maud are likely the ones eating their lunch.

The local farmer's market that I patronize (not a coop) has been around for 60 years. The one nearer me (a coop, the doer kind) has grown to multiple gigantic facilities, a few satellite locations, and regional name recognition for qua

There is a local group trying to "disrupt" coops in this way: find members to shell out $$, have a steering committee, do a lot of marketing, all before the coop even has a location in mind. Meanwhile there are actual coops (thoug

My least favorite statistic is that roughly 50% of an individual's lifetime medical costs come in the last few weeks of life. This is seriously problematic. Families need to learn to let go and doctors need to be more honest about outc

Splunk is great software. With no details, hard to read this suit. Would need to know what evidence Splunk has that Clint Sharp stole source code. All the rest seems superfluous.

A friend of mine recently graduated from college with some amount of debt. He put up a "lemonade and tequila" stand outside of his home, with an "out of stock" sign under "tequila." It was silly and a bit child

Being across the continent from this, the only thing I'll say in response is that none of the photos in the OP look like old growth forest to me.

A mast-producing forest with a thick and high enough canopy to create its own microclimate takes 80-100 years to grow in some places, and yes thousands of years in others.

"The provincial government of British Columbia says old-growth forests are particularly important and that companies should put off logging them." That's not really enough. BC should regulate these forests heavily. Old growth

Libraries and APIs 25 years ago were expensive, well-documented, and stable. Users had much lower expectations. Programming was slow and intentful. Programming today is much more stressful, I think.

Adding a CSRF middleware to your app is something that you need to do once, ever.

We just switched to Taiga for our task management platform. It's enjoyable to use, opinionated but just a little, and works great out of the box. As an aside, does anyone know what software this page is running: https://comm

Sorry, what I meant was: "If FB decided to try and break into search, then they might decide to attack the HTML/CSS/JS stack." Not the other way around.

The word "trust" doesn't factor into ~90% of users' decisions. If FB says "hey install this app," they will install it.

I think that this is the case (right now) because of Apple's stranglehold on the browser on iOS and the complex relationship between Google/Apple. If FB could launch a browser on iOS that was in their walled garden, not only would

I don't want to sound like I have an axe to grind (but I do), but this is the kind of feature/wart that shows the age of the HTML/CSS/JS stack. The whole thing is ripe for a redo. I know they get a lot of hate, but of al

A bait and switch is an intentful swindle. I don't believe this is the case for most OSS. Many of these companies (e.g. Sun) had the greatest intentions, however at some point the purpose of a company is to make money. Some (like Autom

The other factor is that Regan's process is designed to not produce false positives - if it says you are cheating, you are almost guaranteed to be cheating.

I almost never eat steak in restaurants. The most critical part of a steak is the butcher + the aging. Yes, you can screw up a steak on the grill or in the pan, but you're not going to turn a poor steak into an incredible steak, and yo

But in a muscle ? That seems to be the argument here, unless it's just bad journalism.

Not a biologist, but I would wonder why only this muscle would be capable of this. Metabolizing fats is a complex process.

I have an entire speaker setup that runs on the chromecast protocol(s?) They've been repeatedly bricked (features rolled back, support changed, can't set up complete groups, etc) by Google in the last few years, to the point where

The ad-supported giants are barely treading water while they absolutely plaster their platforms with ads. I doubt that will sustain them through the next quarter, which is usually the biggest quarter for retail consumers.

It came out recently that a streamer exchanged lewd photos of herself for a ban on one of her "competitors." Twitch has some serious, serious problems.

You don't need to be a fast talker to get a job as a programmer. If you haven't left your job in 10 years you might be able to double your salary with a move. Send me your resume, my email is in my profile. Happy to take a look. B

This is important. Locally, we had a sheriff who was being heavily, heavily criticized due to several deaths at the county facility. This was at the height of the protests a few years ago. It was a lot of work to find data on policing natio
