Yes, this notice itself explicitly makes them non-compliant (IMO, not a lawyer), better to have nothing.

Well it's always been under resourced and you could fairly say it lacks product/commercial maturity so will have many rough edges and gotchas, but at the same time it's a very complex problem space where all of the solutions

Drupal 8, plus integrated ElasticSearch (so you don't have to build UIs and can also integrate search into displaying collections generally), and Drupal Commerce if you like.

The fundamental principle of presumption of innocence means you shouldn't go around spying on everyone looking for signs of criminality. And the idea that the tech is more dispassionate and therefore fairer than humans is a step on the

That's exactly why Russia has done it so openly - to sow greater division and chaos.

Initially VC, then advertisers. It's more of the same shit but ridiculous given FB's size to think the market can only have one player. The way to accelerate network growth is base on an open source standard and encourage competit

Yes, and this also nicely self-regulates the media marketplace to balance monopolies like FB. Want to target a narrow niche, advertise in specialist media to a smaller audience at higher rates. Want to carpet bomb, advertise in mass media a

We can leverage the element of luck and improve our odds against others by playing a smart numbers game. It's a fundamental of sales.

This is terrible advice and frankly it's a bit shocking to see so little insight into contemporary CMS architecture and why it exists on a tech site. Yes UGC is a very important driver, but many organisations have an internal communit

> set up triggers to build the site statically whenever content is updated That's not only the same gnarly problem as cache invalidation but with a metric ton of filesystem writes on top of it.

That's how the early CMS's like Vignette worked and they evolved to solutions like WP and Drupal which are better for the web publishing use case - easier to maintain, develop, and capable of real-time UGC and publishing (real-tim

Standardisation would have been a better choice of words. But this sounds like the old proprietary vs open source arguments. 1. The biggest tech companies in the world have struggled to keep up with the pace of innovation in open source. 2.

You can build 'a facebook' in Drupal which is more or less functionally equivalent and people have been doing that for years. But you still have the real work - building the network of users, which is where the value lies and not

I think decentralisation is the wrong way to look at it. The protocol itself becomes the point of centralisation with many providers implementing in federation. Nothing to stop any of them being commercial (they may have all kinds of ease o

Maybe financial independence isn't for you. It doesn't suit most people in fact - most choose the greater financial security and predictability of a decent job. This is very helpful if you are an entrepreneur as you can hire peopl

That's a level you can contribute to by being frugal. It's tough to get to but easier than you'd think. The barriers to moving to this level tend to be as much social and psychological as financial e.g. families, mortgages, n

You can have as much purpose as a cat or you can build bridges, write poetry, study philosophy, invent new things, and help the poor. Your choice might not fit in with how you saw yourself but that's a higher level problem.

On functionality (not google product history etc), is this worth switching a small 40 person company from slack? Killer feature in slack for us is probably granularity of alerting and mobile desktop handoff (read a message on one and that c

Maybe the Neo4j guys would be into helping as they are quite into marketing. This could be a neat showcase speaking to both business and tech types.

The trouble here is that the more you know about something, the more it must necessarily form part of your identity. I could otherwise dispense the most dispassionate (and apparently therefore excellent) advice on topics ranging from Micron

The interesting bit of Wave wasn't the product but the underlying framework components they created for it e.g. salmon protocol and the pubsub system. They made many of the components needed to create an open source federated social ne

Wave was highly ambitious, but under resourced with a horribly botched rollout. It could have killed Twitter, Facebook, and preempted Slack, or better shifted them to a common open source framework which would have allowed a thousand twitte
