Yes, but the COL is dramatically lower (and lower than other major city centers in Europe), its comparatively low crime, and the quality of life for the price is quite competitive. I'd move out there in a heartbeat...although it does h

Some folks don't like to deal with a swarming mass of tweaked out people. They just don't. As someone who survived early 90s acid house and rave culture in the Bay Area, people falling over, spilling things on you, or being rambli

It is now, but wasn't originally. It was a touring show the first half dozen years until it went on hiatus. When it was revived in the (mid?) 2000s, it became a solo Chicago event.

He was/is one of the very few "open source luminaries" I actually think highly of as a person. Ted Tso, Jeremy Allison are a few others. Highly intelligent, highly thoughtful people. Working with them was a treasured experi

It's IFTTT as a wearable...only expensive, dumber and likely an ethical/legal morass waiting to happen.

Oops, wrong one. John Hall (often used the faux middle name "Tiberius" for reasons no one understood) was a young exec from Stanford who now is an exec...somewhere else? (It's been a while since I even had to recall the guy),

Arte is spectacular. I've been a fan for a while, and it keeps popping up good surprises.

Yep, VA paid for the shirts from the Community groups petty cash fund, much as we paid for events at LUGs and other non-corporate events (my first two years at VA we gave out endless amounts of swag, distro CDs, various and sundry, but the

You won't get downvoted, but you make a few factually questionable statements (disclosure: I worked at VA from 1998 to 2002): 1. VA didn't sponsor the event, but a chunk of the staff of the company's Sunnyvale HQ attended (an

This is just more standard FB PR theater. It's not only meaningless, I would suggest it is likely intentionally deceptive as the latest way to distract from it's disingenuousness while it goes suing Apple for explicitly making it&

Zuckerberg is angry someone is gaining traction by playing against his 'needs'. Good.

You have not met the staff of these orgs. It is actually not exaggeration to say they live in a media bubble where their studio chiefs are captains of industry that are infallible and are to be served with total fealty. I once sat in a meet

As someone who worked in that industry for a long time (for BayTSP, which eventually got bought and pulled into Irdeto), the MPA/A is one of the more fervent (and obnoxious clients) we had. Not as dumb as say, Disney or NBC, but still.

"Makes me wonder what I'm not appreciating enough today." I wonder that frequently for myself. I still regularly catch stuff post defacto that I feel stumped to have somehow missed at the time.

"I could have made this" That is a common trope but it misses the immediate counter...."but you didn't". Many can code, not all come up with something that takes off, regardless of talent or skill. Any number of thi

This has been the same for me, although I do find for content created by others, there should at least be a monetization split.

Yeah, the one conversation I had he was thoughtful, a little bit sardonic, but seemingly very thoughtful, maybe keenly aware of the skills he had and felt no need to posture about them...just sincerely curious and probing.

I only met Mudge once (a few decades back in the days of VA Linux, he visited the campus....this would have been maybe right before the @Stake days). The guy was wickedly sharp.

I can't say I'm "unhappy" but i do feel like te redesign is a bit of a stack of dark patterns meant to turn IG into something other than what it was intended for...a marketing automation/CRM platform.

"I don't know what their vision is for product" Unless it pipes ads at you, after collecting as much telemetry as possible, they don't have one either.

Google Play long was mediocre, and had a growing list of dark pattern violations in its UX. I've since moved to Musicolet and am quite happy.
