It's almost like they created intentional ambiguity here when they renamed the company (dotCloud) to match the name of the open source tool, then renamed the open source project behind the tool to something else (Moby), but kept it for

Two assumptions there I'd challenge. 1) Pageviews do not equal revenue. The purpose of every website isn't inherently to make money. 2) The purpose of analytics is to understand your visitors and their interaction with content. Th

I don't think I understood how poor graduate student wages were until years after I was employed as one. I had worked at a natural foods co-op for a few years between undergrad and grad school, and although my marketing role paid more

I think you and I interpreted the parent comment differently. I meant, the point isn't to read every comment, the point is to dive in to the conversations that interest you (including reading and participating in those conversations).

What's interesting to me about this article isn't which politician said what, or even TikTok. It's the complete lack of discussion around the huge authoritarian overreach it would be to give any executive of any political par

Cherrypicking violent crime in a discussion about child safety is misleading and fearmongering. More children die from non-violent crime. The person who drives 10 over the speed limit down a suburban street is a child-endangering criminal,

I'm objecting to the parent comment where this originated, where the author juxtaposed the safety of a child growing up in a "suburban or rural" setting with living "near a highway though, or a high crime area." Cri

The use of the phrase "high crime area" in this context, when just referencing child safety, is itself problematic. Everyone who is reading that phrase right now is forming a mental picture of what it means, and I guarantee it&#x2

It all depends on how you draw your Venn diagrams, I suppose. Is Chrome a massively complex browser, or is it some window dressing and bookmark syncing sitting on top of Chromium, that itself is really just a simple UI around the Blink rend

You may be right in terms of where people are gravitating. But the irony in this is that Messenger only exists to keep people coming back to the ad platform. To me, the question is, how to we convince more people to take a position of rejec

I'm actually amazed this license is still there post-acquisition, and perhaps equally amazed this license didn't tank the acquisition in the first place.

What a weird premise. The purpose of an organization is whatever that organization decides that it is. Shareholders can choose to invest in that vision, or not. If the majority of the owners are dissatisfied with that purpose, they can chan

I envy a good grid. Here on the east coast, in many cities only the very center core is gridded, with the rest being most of a hub-and-sprawly-spoke model. The only corridor through my 40-mile wide, 2M+ person metro area is a single Interst

Why did you write this comment? My intent in asking isn't just to be dismissive, but rather to point out that there are complex, overlapping reasons. It can be incredibly difficult to even pinpoint your own motivations, to say nothin
