I'm starting to think the EU is loud but rather toothless when it comes to merges relating primarily to digital services and products. They've certainly blocked their share of telecommunication, retail, and airline industry merges

It's a fallacy to believe that all projects are just sold to the lowest bidder. There are probably a dozen reasons why something like this might have occurred, and not giving the vendors a free pass, but assuming that a more expensive

I wonder of spammers are just mass-creating Gmail accounts, getting hit with their own spam and flagging it as "non-spam" to confuse the filters... (If you are in a position to build spamming infrastructure, you are certainly capa

Largely, no. Community building is a slow and cumbersome process and Reddit already has critical mass of users and topics covered. You could clone it, offer more features/better support, but if the clone reached a similar scale it woul

Remarkably its cheaper in Australia ($3,368 post-tax, $3,060 pre-tax USD) — which is a shock as price-gouging by tech companies in the Australian market has always been a huge problem. I would assume its a number of regulatory and supply-ch

UK professional services industry — lay-offs over the last year were light compared to what I think is coming in the next 6 months. Agencies were first to rapidly downsize just after COVID, and I suspect the larger professional service firm

Making Slack more expensive to an organisation is not a sensible tactic. (Had the disfortune of being part of a Slack evaluation on two occasions where it was later decided to switch to Teams, as cost was the biggest factor.)

I wish the reasoning here was a bit more established, as it sounds like there is a particular interpretation of the law as it exists in Japan which could have been eye-opening with more context. From my own reading, it looks like Japan alre

010editor's templating language looks very interesting (and something I had been trying to accomplish with my own mixed-bag of tools when reverse-engineering). I suppose as a hobbyist, the price is a hard one to get over...

"Mass psychology" is an odd way to interpret "people are having fun." I think the opposite is true — its easy to sell people on the importance of powerful hardware when the success and exclusivity of your games is a not

So, I know nothing of Illinois or State Attorney Kim Foxx, but I do have a litmus test where I search the author/person in focus and note the top results who are sharing the story — New York Post, Daily Mail, Fox News, etc. Does such t

You've clearly used a throwaway just to be contrarian, but have you considered not posting at all if it adds no value to the discussion?

I think the larger challenge is competing with the broad business value that Shopify provides — Its not just payment processing, but also email marketing, theme and API services, a app marketplace, shipping integrations, etc. Wix/Squar

Shopify also bumped their prices 33% earlier in the year. As a small-business Shopify merchant, I would appreciate more competition in the market.

They're likely speaking of their liability should a employee's laptop, containing sensitive information, ever be stolen or re-sold (or simply, left in the hands of an ex-employee with a grudge.) It would be difficult for a IT depa

Independent film-maker Kirby Ferguson has a series called "This is not a Conspiracy Theory" which goes into great detail the human biological need to find patterns and connections where they do not exist. Its a great watch, and I

As long as there's no "session identifier," even if unique and completely unmarriable to the PII, it doesn't matter. Any session ID where an ID represents one person runs afoul. Makes meaningful telemetry really hard wit

I think AI will cause mass unemployment -- for whichever companies lay off staff after their AI pivot fails to materialise significant new revenue. Which is not to say AI is going away, rather, every Silicon Valley tech company that is chas

AI regulation, or lack there of, will be a bi-product of the present semi-conductor cold-war with China. I can't imagine any government intentionally restricting AI research and use where the outcome is of strategic benefit, not only e

I agree, it feels like it was a reaction (no pun intended) for the CSS-in-JSS trend which started in React and complicated with Webpack pipelines. In my mind, Tailwind is just "Bootstrap for CSS-in-JSS." Honestly, as much as I dis

Yandex's image search is fantastic. I don't think its a capability thing, however. Google was and probably remains a big target for lawsuits — where as Yandex... whose really going to want to fight copyright violations in Russia.
