Nothing matters as long as a company is growing. You don't have to improve or have the best tech or the best sales or do everything right or have the best culture. The only thing that matter for a company is to grow.

Visa and mastercard can do anything they want as long as they want to do it. They just don't want to deal with porn by choice

The problem with storage is that it needs to be planned for the worst case. Imagine three weeks without sun nor wind, even if that happens only once every 5 years it should be planned. And the cost of having batteries that can produce energ

We should also have the fight to hold journalists accountable for writing BS. Anything this article talks about can be said about Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Pinterest, VK, Telegram and any company that allow user submitted content.

It is normal to advocate for your needs but asking for it to be included from day 1 is weird. The same way you don't start a saas app with localization from day one. I'm not blind so for sure I won't really care about accessi
