"Enterprise" slack is $15 per head per month. This would equate to an recurring annual expenditure of nearly $4.86million for Uber's 27000 employees. Given that Slack can be seen as IRC with some pretty decoration glued up to

The poetry of Rabbie (Robert) Burns. He led a life of grind, hustle and debauchery, and his poetry is remarkable for its thematic breadth- Burns talks of love, solidarity, nationalism, drinking and everything else that concerns an intellige

It makes me sad to see the negativity that this experiment has attracted, even in this HN discussion thread there seem to be a lot of dismissive and patronising comments directed towards Feross. I'm genuinely unsure if this is because

"WeWork may not be a tech company when it comes to what they're selling, but it is when it comes to how they deal with tax." I've never thought about it that way before- interesting.

To be fair, Google did a really bad job of explaining what Wave _actually was_ when it was launched, which was not helped by the naughties tech-tradition of being "invitation only". Had they simply said it was a cool chat applicat

As a European I was really surprised at how cycle-friendly San Francisco and Palo Alto (especially Stanford campus) are- its much better than you might expect. Room for improvement, but no worse than many cities over here.

No. This is the latest in a series of good moves that Microsoft has been making lately in order to regain some integrity. Microsoft's toxic and manipulative partner program has been used to extract excessive license fees from customers

"Great" is probably not a good term to apply to a manager because it panders to an unhelpful "David Brent" mentality. As this thread ages, you will probably notice a lot of managers detailing the ways in which they are &
