Congratulations on the launch! - Are the analytics pipeable via API/sockets, or are they planned to be behind the GUI? Are you curating a plugins ecosystem with Stripe/Gusto/etc. or can anybody use the API as long as you have

Ahh I didn't think about this. I was thinking more in the lines of Photoshop, where you can have multiple layers and then compress them together when exporting and lose the metadata. But yes, this is definitely sensitive enough to not

It's disappointing that the PDF is not machine-readable; definitely a regression from the Obama years: https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2013/0... Can anybody give percentages of redaction

Congrats to Touchtech! Acquisitions are always exciting :) I'm wondering what this means for multi-factor authentication with regards to payments. Why bio-metrics instead of a physical security key and U2F? Convenience? Customer reach?

My impression of most databases is that locating the data physically close together (i.e. an internal network connection ties together database nodes) provides assumptions for performance optimization (e.g. based on internal testing we thin

I think this is really cool! It's really nice to use a standards-compliant persistent file format; I think a lot of companies have their own persist implementations that render the data only visible at the SQL or REST layer. I'm w

Hopefully, but I'm not sure I share your confidence. These are irrational actors, and irrationality is difficult to model. It's also difficult to reason your way out of a position you did not reason into. There's definitely n

I was thinking less end of humanity and more a general expansion/growth threshold.

You are correct, and I apologize for making such an assertion without any evidence. I think what I meant more was the conflation of wealth and power, and the need to look beyond just the name of a certain corporation. Autocratic rulers don&

Power must always be exercised to be retained, yes. But I doubt power must be publicly exercised in order to remain viable. And rulers never rule, they hold court, and they must retain the favor of the court to be viable. See "Rules fo

I don't know. That's the point :)

Yeah, but many of those are fixed costs, given immutable characteristics of the fields themselves, which means given a certain profitability threshold, you have a very predictable income stream. That given of course varies on the highly var

This isn't terribly surprising to me. Pulling money out of the ground is a high-margin, low (relative) cost deal. Like selling $1 for $2. I do wonder how many people know that the wealthiest companies are private, just like how the wea

Hmm. I appreciate the sentiment behind the author's desire to do this. But I'm wondering: - Did it void a warranty if it was still valid, and the tampering with the case had damaged some hardware that the end user can't fix o

Today, degrees are a way to communicate and verify to others that you have generated and currently possess some amount of intellectual and social capital, which in the right situations can be converted to financial, political, and other har

We did have far bigger problems :-) The April Fool's joke just added a cherry on top of a shit sundae. I could have lived without it. I haven't worked at a company yet that implements April Fool's jokes correctly (defined as

We did April Fool's jokes at my previous company, and we had to implement code/data changes in order to do so. We never got the time to implement the jokes correctly so it introduced technical debt. Then we never got the time to r

I think so, and I think Apple does a better job with macOS app bundles than Linux does with either snap or AppImages. In particular, I really like the macOS permissions design; snap upgrades in the background I think and compatibility issue

Hasn't happened to me. If it did, I might have switched completely already :-) In fact that was why I returned the XPS 15, the OEM version of Ubuntu 18.04 (which did have correct sleep/hibernate behavior and worked well with the O

I don't know if people will switch per se, but people will be less inclined to purchase the latest and greatest from Apple, and less willing to invest in new things like AirPods or iWatch. If my MacBook Pro dies, which I really hope it

Oh, don't get me wrong. Apple hardware from 2012-2015 was really great, and I recently reversed my decision to "upgrade" to a Dell XPS 15 w/ Ubuntu 18.04 in order to stick to my MacBook because it honestly wasn't an

I'm pretty sure at this point Apple has lost the trust of the professionals community. I personally don't think I would ever buy new equipment from Apple again. At most, I might buy a refurbished iPhone SE downgrading from my iPho

I think that "high mobility across borders" is an assumption based on existing trade regulations. From recent developments it's clear countries can and do force companies to do things they don't want, and companies will

I really like this way of thinking! It gives an air of clarity and calm to your decision making because you are looking at the big picture, which is really hard to do.

I agree wholeheartedly. Developing a "blue-ocean" mentality lends itself very well to profit creation and market leadership. Since everything is new, you have to be able to design and iterate on systems and processes that can muta
