We can argue this all day long since neither of us has data to back up our assertions. So, I'll reframe this somewhat. Technology in the past created new more efficient processes, freeing people to create new processes. That describes

> Aren't we supposed to be destroying jobs I've never actually thought of it this way. That's potentially a revolutionary thought that we should be seeking to destroy jobs, not create them.

Cirques du soleil is the reinvention of the circus (yes they do have a travelling tent). It's a great lesson for us to see how a stale industry can be transformed.

An interesting fall out from this case could be the requirement for platforms to provide open and equal access to their APIs. So specifically in this case the APIs for installing an app. But thinking more generally the APIs for iCloud Drive

Gitup for the Mac http://gitup.co Definitely my favourite client, and OSS to boot. I can't really think of much I'd want changed to improve it.

This is corporate policy to protect the corporation. It is power gone too far. People need to know that it's ok to speak up when something wrong occurs. For example, If I were to see Jimmy stealing some GoogleBot servers then absolutel

Sadly a little light on detail, but does offer up: > 1. keep emotions out of the exchange, 2. discuss, don't attack (no ad hominem and no ad Hitlerum), 3. listen carefully and try to articulate the other position accurately, 4. show

Casinos where the rules ensure you loose even when you devise a method of skill and intellect to win, you still loose. Isn't that the very definition of a rigged game?

Simply amazing. I still thought antimatter was a theory. Can anyone recommend a book on this topic for the layman?

Good point, I never thought of applying that technique here, it always struck me as a no brainer decision. The reality is you need to hear a few objections to start understanding the mind of the prospect and how to counter their objections.

Which is all fine and good when you have VC funding and can run at a loss for years, or are growing at a rate where you don't care about a few cheats using your product. But, for all those bootstrapped business' your argument fall

Have you had success overcoming that? I suspect a rational counter won't win over an irrational objection. But will an irrational plea (eg play to their ego) work?

Yes, I purposely choose colourful language. Github is an amazing product, in part because they had $66M to spend making it amazing. Think about all of our other favourite pieces of software, and many will have the same story. This results i

Agreed. B2B still knows what software and support really cost, and they are willing to pay when it solves their needs. But, at the individual level people just don't realize it. Heck, look at all the free software your new Mac comes

This is an example of how VCs distort the market for other businesses. I had a recent conversation with a prospect and they took issue with the price of our software. Our app is in a specialized industry (ie. a smaller market). We charge a

By 'pull too hard' I assume that you mean scrolling back to the top. At least on iOS tapping at the top of the screen performs a scroll to top. Knowing that you'll likely never accidentally pull too hard again.

I never thought of it from their perspective, thank you for the links. I suppose I see it as a structural problem. That is, the company positioned their business lines to put them in the unique position to bundle in a way that gave them dis

Having worked at large corporations myself I can assure you that the CBC does not have a monopoly on mismanagement. Yet somehow despite corporations mismanagement they still are more productive than many a small business.

That's easily solved by securing their funding for several years into the future (possibly to the next government). That way the government can't retaliate for any hard hitting journalism.

I assume it binds to the loop back interface so that other hosts can't send messages. Regardless UDP interface does seem odd for this sort of tool. Edit: nope. It listens on all interfaces. At least an attack can only maliciously chang
