Oh yeah, I guarantee that's on all the emergency checklists. "Ask very nicely if all the passengers can turn off their bluetooth headsets". Also, I'm pretty confident that Lufthansa's Airbus and Boeing planes are th

For someone who claims to have worked in big corporations and accuses others of not having worked in them, you sure are optimistic about the capabilities of the average user. Not every company is Google. For starters, how do you register th

> Eliminate capital gains tax. That's a terrible idea. Capital gains is basically the only way to tax the uber and intergenerationally wealthy. If anything, capital gains tax should be at the same level as income tax, so that ther

Your analogy fails because it's not the people doing work in science that are capturing the returns. It's a bunch of rent-seeking publishers whose entire business model is extortion. This is more like if a VC funded you, but Googl

I'm not sure GCP really comes up in discussions about "either major cloud". Distant third place, looking more like becoming fourth before they get to second.

Ok so, again, my point here is that Open Source funding isn't a technical problem that can be solved by a technical solution (and that I think quadratic matching is stupid for funding solutions to high-impact problems). But, I did look

... Has it though? The problem here isn't that the tech doesn't exist to support open source. It's that companies don't care to. There's no budget because there's no clear business benefit. Using advertising ad

I've set aside this afternoon to update my macbook because it refused to do the 12.4 update by itself. Then it refused when I asked it to restart manually. Then it looked like it worked and was restarting but actually it just kernel pa

Not really to be honest. If you've got an RFP to respond to right now then it's a little too late. That said, I've never had an issue copy pasting the answers to similar questions. As long as you answer the question with th

Entire (excellent) start-ups exist to fill the role of 'RFP library' so that you don't have the whole sales team rewriting the same answers 100 times a year. Loopio saved me hours in the last role I was in that had them - eve

Reformed salesperson here: bullshit. Atlassian famously eschews the exact sales teams whose job it would be to manage direct customer comms in an outage like this one, and to be the lightning rod for the understandable customer frustration.

The TOS on quoting someone ? You're saying that if I want to quote something someone says on Twitter in my book or in a newspaper, I have to follow their TOS and style it their way? No, I think not. Applying Twitter's styling to

> Certainly I have some level of expectation that if I delete something, it may very well actually be gone, right? Really? For me this is like saying that just because you stop actively publishing a book, people can never quote it again.

I know that blog post is from 2009, but it has a typo in the title and a typo in the first sentence. I'm not sure it's great content marketing for a company whose primary business is writing.

I'm sure this was a long time ago, but this is one of those "consult a lawyer" moments to me. Going back and finishing CS was probably the more productive option, however.

I disagree. Twitter doesn't own that content. Someone posting the Twitter JS on their website to allow Twitter to format the tweet to Twitter's brand standards and allow a link to drive traffic back to Twitter is a favour that t
