If you read the Liberal platform, the way the TPP has been developed flies directly in the face of their commitments for running government. It's a great opportunity for them to highlight their platform using a law that will have real

Maybe it should be expected from any article claiming a revolution, but the first 15% or so seems nothing but strawmen placement. The most egregious one is the entire base of the article, that we aren't making significant progress in m

Are you suggesting that 15 minutes on the E3 stage is worth $2 million+? I suppose that's possible, but it seems high. Or maybe there are additional promotions you are referring to?

As a remote worker, my obstacles, both technical and personal, are often brought to resolution through washing the dishes, or some similar task. Our ability as humans to take a problem and insert space between it's demands for attentio

A quick google says 18.6 million for the US, so I think you're right on to question this.

Management isn't just about who's working or not. There's a lot of what makes a successful team that requires careful consideration to replicate when everyone is remote. Yes, modern technology makes much of this easier, but i

This is absolutely true also, but it is generally easier to address than the need for physical interaction often felt by people in management. (I'm not trying to be derogatory here, as good physical interaction is often closely tied to

My work has required daily VPN use over most of the past 7 years, and I have yet to find one that is reliable. I'm certain this has more to do with properly setting them up then an inherent flaw in the concept, but it still means when

I think you are mostly right here, sadly enough.

Fair enough, but that still limits potential employees to a certain physical proximity to Google offices. While there are a number of those, and I aim to bring one here eventually, it is still a limitation.

As a remote worker, it's delightful to see things move in this direction, as VPNs are a regular thorn in my side. Of course, there's a certain irony that Google isn't fond of remote workers. :)

At 30 GB/day (still quite high for a consumer SSD), it's 70-200 years, depending on the drive.

That title seriously misrepresents the findings. These drives lasted orders of magnitude longer than they were rated for. For 99% of people on the internet, you could write all your daily traffic to any one of these drives for the rest of y

It's fascinating how much this engineers experience shares with mine. We both appear to have similar approaches to working with technical systems, that has led to skillsets that are more broad than deep. We've both had interview p

Seriously awesome. Since making this post I have set up the domains and account I needed, and tested it. All that's left now is the mx records. :)

I've had lots of good experience with Rackspace in the past, but in this case I only need one mailbox, but I need all mail for the domains sent to it. Maybe my case is too specific.

Hmm, this looks like a language I would design if I ever got around to it. If they have a good distribution system, could be awesome.

I grew up middle class, and statistically I'm upper-middle-class now. The closest I've got to a new car was when I got together with my wife, who had just purchased one. Currently, we operate two cheap vehicles, less than $10k bet

We're currently evaluating Terraform for an H1 2015 rollout. This looks like another interesting option, though it might require more modification to our services than we can commit to.

Ok, trying out WingIDE now, and it's definitely a step up from PyCharm. Touch support is still not great, but the text is crisp almost everywhere. Now to figure out how to use it....

I'm pretty sure after the iPhone 5s announcement, when he was floored by the 64-bitness of it, I posted something along the lines of "it would be really clever for a mobile company to hire Anand". Maybe it was just in my head
