There might be more offered by SAP than you are accounting for. You would have to re-create all of the features for things like demand management aggregated forecasting by product line, including integration with supply chain ordering and

I once worked with an SAP consultant who had worked on SAP projects that were 100% custom development. They used it strictly as a form-building app dev platform with solid scalable transaction processing and reporting capabilities, and use

I was a project leader on a successful SAP implementation at a DOW 30 firm back in the 90's. This was a third attempt at it, and I think I may be one of the only people who was on the team for attempts #1 and #2 which failed. One of t

Well you used to be able to buy a nice craftsman home from the Sears catalog, and many of them are still in use today.

Where in that AMA is there a reference to zoning being defined at the state level? I did not see it in the long starting post.

Google "Geoffrey Baird Theranos" Geoff Baird plays in my regular poker game. He's probably one of the smartest people I know and has been regularly denouncing Theranos' methods for several years.

Offering an API is great. Just don't expect developers to voluntarily restrain their use of the API according to some words you put on a web page. Maybe most will do so, but a significant portion will growth-hack their way right past

Similar to how they "prevented" apps from abusing their API through policy, while simultaneously doing nothing with their construction of the API to prevent apps from breaking the policy. Apps are prohibited from filling in conte

At the risk of looking a gift horse in the mouth, the ePub versions I tried are rather unreadable, at least for me. Too many erroneously omitted spaces between words, odd hyphens breaking a word up in the middle of a paragraph, and mis-spe

This reminds me of the scifi first contact novel "Blindsight", which while not the best writing is chock full of intriguing concepts, one of which is the role of the "synthesist": a career where your job is to act just

This highlights the ultimate irony in the modern convention of referring to those with a career in marketing as "creatives".

Why don't they try to personalize or target the ads on my Kindle? It would be nice to not see ads for books I've already purchased from Amazon. They inscrutably leave a lot of missed opportunities on the table.

The bit at the end about social responsibility seems bolted-on and gratuitous. How does AI even factor into the blood donations example they cite? It sounds like a simple database query, not AI. Also the talk about what they are doing inte

The iPhone walled garden is what gets my goat, particularly when it comes to the impact it's had on my children. Combined with an observation that there is a distinct subset of people who buy iPhones who seem uninterested in how techn

I think these OEM disks are the media that is sold through the system builder channel within Microsoft's OEM licensing model. These are intended for small-scale mom and pop PC builders who are obligated to provide the technical produc

Biggest change is a pretty accelerated deprecation of the publish_actions permission, effective now for any new apps and August for all apps previously granted this permission. This is the permission required for an app to post on behalf of

It seems like there are some product categories where there are known reputable reviewers and this is an attempt to formalize that and make it more discoverable. A cure for the fake reviewers ' influence on review aggregations. Sound

I just spent 5 minutes hunting for these new capabilities and figured it was only a change made in the mobile app, which I never install. Figures. It will be interesting to see how/if they surface this via browsers vs. apps "It’

One of the problems with the Facebook API is that it is disconnected from policy on too many points. The policy is all hand-wavy honor system, and the API lets you trample all over the policy. Case in point, one of the most common policy v

I was curious how the figure leaped from the 270k cited in the Facebook press release to this 50M figure. It sounds like they never had full access to the Facebook profiles beyond the 270k who installed the app, but just harvested the frien

I feel this is unintentionally going to the lowest end of this space with the whole "buy me a coffee" message and brand. I run a site which is 100% monetized through voluntary donations and I would never use language like buy me a

There is an argument that the tax breaks mean that some portion of the money is really the public's and should serve the public interest. When you give a million to a charity and get a tax break for 250k or 300k or whatever, is that m

When you are successful and have stood the test of time, who needs a website? In 100 years or so, there probably won't be such a thing as html in popular use any longer.

If all of your parts are good from the start, I agree. But if you are building a computer for the first time and get just one bad part, it can be difficult to isolate where the problem is if you don't have a box full of spare parts yo
