Also worth using a premium domain service like CSC -- if there is an issue you have a 24/7 contact and for overseas domains they usually have local agents who can hold the domain if rules change that would ordinarily disqualify you fro

I was only thinking of it last night when reading the Deja News discussion -- so many useful services that got acquired and ceased (Wunderlist, Skitch and many more)

From G side they gained users interacting with 50K+ topics and occasionally posting views, sentiment etc. (and likely all Deja News historic interactions) In addition to the search history, email content, geo location etc. G have for many p

You think that realtime ad impressions is all they get from you reading granular forum posts? Sadly, even in 2020, nothing has yet replaced what Deja was at the time it got acquired and destroyed.

AI on the algo side is only half the story -- it has to sit in a domain specific framework to be most effective I see a lot of 'bolt-on' tech emerging -- it looks mostly snake oil -- there is no obvious way to be competitive again

IPO valuation aside -- it is premature to write the WeWork model off It could end up being a strong counter-cyclical model -- and outperforms as the economy tightens Traditional office space is a 2, 5, 10 year commitment and a pain to move

There is an argument the model they run is counter-cyclical -- some FDs would rather pay more monthly for a service they can quickly scale up/down against revenue in region vs 5 or 10yr commitments -- time may show revenues grow in a p

In my experience some of the biggest problems are solved best by the slowest thinkers Those slow thinkers might have a good idea of the answer they likely want to give straight away - but maybe want to take another day or two before committ

I use Virgin Euston to Manchester a couple of times a month and it's a great rail service. Painless, clean, fast, tables, power etc., quiet off-peak and such a good work environment I've almost stopped driving.

There was little enough memory to get an asm program doing anything material using HiSoft DevPac assembler let alone using a high-level lang. The instruction set was very limited (in comparison to i386 etc.) so the learning curve was not st

Same risk with domains and DNS - when people question why CSCGlobal or UltraDNS charge so much compared to cheaper alts - it's because they have your back when you miss something

I had a quick look at the protocol but couldn't see anything on handling that case Regardless of the protocol - it's not unreasonable to return a 422 or 403 by default for that (malformed) request when first seen - as it would ind

I've used 1password since 2010 when I paid $69.95 for a family license. It seems to need upgrading for each new version of OSX - but I still only use the features now that I used in 2010.

If that account is a true reflection of events - it's really disappointing that engineers got fired (edit: or resulted in engineers leaving). A company needing hours to identify/fix a minor code issue that affected 40M people is a

Interesting it uses lean pork leg and beef fat over lard. 300 years ago the pig breeds were often fattier so there was a lot of lard around and was the easy choice - it's an optimisation the cook has made or learned to use beef fat. I&

So how would you fix the national treasury impact of profitless megacorps moving in to a country and taking out layers of smaller businesses (some of whom make profit and pay tax on it)? Are you really going to threaten those countries with
