Yes, I am probably being too jaded here, and I really hope that I'm wrong, but after last few years of similar hit pieces against Facebook, Google, and other big, juicy targets, I can't help myself.

I wonder whom did Salesforce annoy enough to warrant a media smear campaign against them.

The movie had an interesting idea (presumably stolen from any number of old sci-fi novels), but unfortunately turned it to a generic "the rich hoard all the money, we should redistribute it to the masses!" action flick. While ther

There are pirates who are in it to make money, and pirates who are in it to get the art itself. The former might focus on most valuable art, the latter focus mostly on art that is the best - they're not going to pirate something they d

"Do we really need all the little incompatible changes, new UI shells, multiple marketplace stores and multiple messaging clients and crapware on Android OEM phones?" Yes, we do. If different people did not try doing new things (o

You do realize that "cloud" doesn't mean the services are running in water vapour up in the sky, right? There are real computers with real operating systems running beneath all those trendy virtualization concepts. One of tho

Yast was never good. I still have nightmares of it happily overwriting and destroying my configuration on several occasions. No warnings shown or questions asked.

Indeed, SAP wants you to run their products primarily on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, with RHEL being an "also ran" (despite enjoying full support from SAP). This despite SLES' controversial and never-working-quite-right &qu

Shouldn't the monitoring websites be able to check the DB status for you before you even look at that red text? :)

Multicast was designed exactly for this - same data streamed to many endpoints at the same time. Too bad it's not being more widely used, the bandwidth savings would likely be huge.

I'm pretty sure I'm at least partially it. I like to check the site out every now and then to get a point of view from the other side. HN, although having a lot of high quality discussions, can sometimes be a deafeningly loud echo

The license they used was and is exactly about giving away free stuff to anyone who cares to take it. Including multi-national conglomerates.

Sorry, but that's nonsense. The Received headers in an e-mail can already guarantee that your company is the source.

So, basically the same approach that spammers use - maximizing your gain while inconveniencing everyone else. I hope you're proud of yourself.

Eventually, SpaceX will improve the accuracy so much that they will be able to get random celebrities to pay for having splashdowns in their private Beverly Hills swimming pools. :)

A little bit late to the party, but this article about a prematurely released game seems like a good addition to this thread, as an example how the releases are rushed by executives: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2019&#x2

It is difficult to determine what constitutes "better" if there is no real feedback on why the current comment is "worse".
