You are trying to tell me that its an unlucky coincidence that the businesses are shutting down right around Brexit deadline, and Brexit nothing has to do with it? Sure.

I'm literarly hanging on the edge of the seat in this self inflicted catastrophe that is Brexit. I view it as an experiment in what happens when common sense fails to win in an election. I'm a EU citizen and Brexit will have negat

Reading the comments bellow its really funny to hear all this bull about caps being there to protect the providers and their lack of capacity. I have 300 mbit link for 50 USD and no caps. I have full lte and 2TB downlink cap for 25 USD. But

We had to migrate ~100 instances from Azure to GCP. It took us one month. At the end of the month we changed the dns entries and flipped the switch. Its true tho that we never wanted to work with managed services, so there was literarly no

I'd like to jump on this bandwagon. IMO a decline of a company can come in various forms and here we're seeing an empire built on mobile market growth starting to feel the reality of 1% yearly growth in a mature market. Apple is s

There was no accidental mistake by the media. It was a PR spin by IBM, hyping up the tech to sell the IBM brand.

Look no further than Portugal and their solution to heroin problem - decriminalization of drugs. This enables NGOs to work with people more easily, removes the stigma, provides access to save consumption sites and safer drugs, allows for fu

Call me a cynic, but I don't trust anything IBM puts out on AI. There have been so many bullshit PR articles, with lots of nice working packaging bullshit. This one feels the same. It's so discouraging hearing all about Watson and

I like the look of Azure as well, but getting something done is such a chore. Eg: firewall. You need to drill down to the network card primitive, figure out which subsection you need to configure and applying the same rule is again an exerc

For me support is: 1. Reasonably priced (especially now, with role based) 2. Fast 3. Helpful That was my experience when we needed something. Dont get me started on docs and operations. Eg: Using Azure we found out the hard way that the Fir

I would really hate to see anything bad happen to GCP after the changes in leadership. Based on my own experience as the CTO: After being an Azure shop for a year we've migrated ~50-100 VMs to GCP and I love the GCP products. GCP is: -

Come on guys, they are just ripping us off. There is no sane reason for removing m2 connector. SSDs can run pcie over m2 and there is no way they run something custom there. Its bullshit marketing that enables them to sell you overpriced ss

Interesting study, but this totally falls under Betteridge's law of headlines. No, influencers aren't overrated. There is no way in hell I will get the message across as effectively as if I have an influencer spread it. This shoul

A couple of suggestions: - If you enjoy going out, like laidback attitude - Berlin. Not super cheap, but way cheaper than SF. - If you like the sun, sea, surfing - Portugal. - If you like outdoors, security, ecology, arts - Ljubljana (Slove

Nobody in their right mind would invest 100M in a production line that is likely to be shut down.

We shall see if you are correct very soon (for display tech anyway). Key (initial) patents have already stared expiring and will continue to do so quite quickly (1-5 years). Check : - https://patents.google.com/?assignee=E+I

You're basically arguing that CTOs mostly cause damage and it's better to hide various vanity metrics from them with the purpose of them not meddling in the process. My view is that looking at scrum metrics will provide you with a

I really don't get this "management can micro-manage developers". Sounds like you work at a very shitty company / unhealthy environment. Dailies are for the actual working team, so they work better together and not a too

We actually massively profited from implementing standups and agile-ish process and we really do not feel the downsides mentioned in the article. Standups: 1. The standups are held in very small groups that work on the same thing and where

I've been a user of gitlab for 4yrs+. Its a great tool and a nice alternative to github for all us crazy "i want to have code on-prem" folks. That being said gitlab ce and its relationship to ee is more and more complicated.

Yes. ICOs give investors (better said: "token purchasers") no security rights. This is a point of contention between people running ICOs (tokens have utility value and are used to pay for services) and regulators (ICOs do not pass

Was Color raising 400M to buy color.com domain a scam? How much did the AR guys that are showing 3D renders raise again? The ones that everybody is calling scam? I can also present to you an alternative viewpoint (non-scammy) on Telegram: T

It's more likely due to the fact that the Telegram founder is waging a war with Russia and publicly denying them access to Telegram. PS: I'm still not convinced all of this is not some charade, but then again I don't trust a
