Fair enough. But this isn't exactly humble chat app David versus ubiquitous groupware Goliath. Slack is growing fast, has had very large investment and is also trying to dominate this space by bundling as much as it can too. Their asp

I'm no Microsoft fan, but this press release is a bit embarassing. For most business use cases Slack is more expensive, and less featured than Microsoft 365, and it's having to work very hard to justify its existence. Slack could

I agree with your first 2 points, but the thing which I can't wrap my head around is point 3. The ability to run a cable from your home to your car will always be a physical impossibility for millions of car owners. From what I can t

My point was that the page as a whole is not clear, but even the sample you have selected is problematic. "will need" also implies certainty. This feature may never be available within the lifetime of the product being sold today,

So how would I go about determining whether a company I want to buy from doesn't do unethical things to avoid tax? It's everywhere and nowhere. For larger companies it's just a cost/benefit exercise - there are professio

Yes, but ending lemon socialism should only happen when a society is able to handle the effects of businesses failing gracefully. Going back to your apple - the requirements for society to gracefully handle an apple's owner allowing it

Unless there is a robust social safety net, it doesn't take much to go from "fire everyone skilled" to serious effects on the most vulnerable: children, elderly dependents, etc. often reaching far beyond the employee. Maybe t

I wish it was native too, but I just meant it's not as bad as it could be on that front - 200ish MB RAM compared to some of the famous Electron examples. The sounds are from the zen/focus software trend days, when you have minimal

I'm not expert in meetings, but increasingly I feel like the modern approach of "everyone invited to the meeting is there to say something" doesn't work. Someone who has nothing to directly contribute to the meeting need

Well the clue's in the name. But I'd argue that Google analysing metadata about who's loading what/when through GTM is a lesser evil, when compared to normalising everyone sticking megabytes of mystery scripts on their s

Seeing as your list is pretty comprehensive, it might be worth having a look at Writemonkey. It's been in development since 2006 - so long before the markdown editor trend in recent years, and probably even pre-dating the distraction-f

I see GTM being used (abused?) by marketing teams regularly, but I'm really surprised that a bank with its own development team would allow it. It is really powerful and sometimes incredibly useful in some scenarios (e.g I once built a

I actually find it refreshingly anti-commercial that Bandcamp has a fairly basic app and a low key approach to curation. I think having a very basic player in the app fits well with a kind of anti-DRM "it's your's now, we don

Interesting that auteur theory is being applied to the morality of the production of film - usually it's just for artistic content. In much the same way that it's not fair(?) to attribute the artisitic merits of a finished film wh

Google Analytics is the default attribution tool for many (most?) small and medium sized digital marketing agencies. Most businesses have some kind of GA account set up with a few years of history and it's quick to leverage the data. W

Branding does matter, but doesn't your example demonstrate the opposite point - overall brand experience is more important than a name? Riot.im's potential brand association with the act of rioting stops with the name. There is no

I completely understand your point. I just can't imagine a scenario where some state authority takes the time to look at your phone and then: - gives you a bad time if they see the word Riot.im on your phone - or, lets you go about y

The name of the mobile app is Riot.im . If that in itself is enough to be used as evidence against an innocent person, then the party doing the accusing is clearly comfortable with much more underhand techniques and it hardly matters. Some

Maybe "it didn't matter if it didn't work" is a better was of putting it. The UK's COVID-19 repsonse has been PR driven - a constant stream of headlines to fight public opinion fires, with a sprinkle of corruption t
