Most choices come with a cost as we can only pipeline execution of our aspirations, and not multiprocess. It would be interesting to know to what degree the regret is felt around the priority as opposed to failure to achieve. The control re

I am in the process of transitioning now from OSX to Ubuntu Budgie on a laptop and here are my takeaways so far: - Cloud reliance has been key. GSuite and Dropbox have kept me from having to install much on the Budgie system. - Budget a hal

Where is the HN relevance? Did Psy-Group or Black Cube employ tech to conduct its influence operations? Were systems compromised? Was there a troll center posting in forums? Influence ops via technical means are a real problem for journalis

Radically honest assessment: - BTC volatility makes the contract pricing (budget) and proof of funds a moving target. - Its not even a semi-autonomous smart contract, so enforcement requires the same legal expense to enforce as a normal con

Appalling. Anyone planning on buying Microsoft products or stick will hopefully pause and consider this case beforehand. Gsuite works nicely as an office replacement.

Reinforcement, not organization is critical. Its simply not enough to make knowledge available. You have to reinforce and reward its use, contribution, sharing and security. At my company I do internal nurture marketing (thank you MixMax) t

Another sign (among many) that China is preparing for significant social unrest and probably global instability. I suspect the CCP has concluded that a rebalancing of its economy is inevitable, close at hand, and will be painful for most Ch

Let's celebrate AFTER we see what Dropbox does with the IPO proceeds. Here's a to-do list: 1. Resurrect drop.io product killed by FB. 2. Acquire HelloSign or build it internally. 3. Acquire and fix Scribd, and restore document pub

Not at all true. 1. Zapier is very flexible if you're willing to write a bit of Python code. 2. Zapier integrates with really any API that supports webhooks, and even those that don't via a CLI and custom language support. I don&#

Makes me wonder if we will see a Zapier IPO soon. It's a crowded space, integration as a service, and in need of consolidation. Zapier doesn't have MuleSofts enterprise street cred because IMHO weak B2B marketing, but the infrastr

A quick test using Zapier's webhook functionality tells me I can duplicate this with their platform. Doesn't seem to work with link shortener, but I have the sense more time invested on that will yield a result. So, I think the co

Slack is barely useable, and I use it every day. Grief includes: - Huge, rigid, unskinnable UI. - Difficult, multi-step access to configurations and settings. - No OS integration therefore no desktop automation. I probably should have stuck

Think back to about 2009... there was a company called drop.io that was purchased by Facebook and their product summarily executed. It was a simply and elegantly executed Dropbox, Slack, Box, Discord-ish all-in-one solution. It was about 5-
