This assumes everyone in all weather conditions, would prefer to brave the street traffic routes...and frankly how many 'reasonably fit cyclists' there are commuting, out of the superset of "people going places, including wor

That is a fairly fractured statement. Lightrail actually connects DTSJ with several areas people live in (e.g. Sunnyvale, Campbell) and its transit station is Diridon, which also includes Amtrak, CalTrain, several bus lines and a taxi stan

I still bounce between physical notebooks, and Laverna. I spend regular time consolidating stuff into stack order I can follow up on.

I was at Natural Bridges a few weeks back, which is supposed to be a haven for monarchs...there were almost no clusters there (maybe 3, when there should be dozens or more at a minimum).

Yes, I worked in "anti-piracy" for some years and that whole industry is a mass of delusions of adequacy, coupled to a client base of some of the most morally torpid, personally horrible people I've ever encountered. The pro

The last few years I have suspected this idea would eventually take off...but I'm not sure it's quite there yet (and still requires more transparency than this is offering).

SV in general seems to be operating (for the most part) in "make X regardless of privacy/security, to save time/effort on Y".

They absolutely should not. FB is either lying to the public, or to itself. It has shown zero capacity to self-regulate, and as soon as someone there has a monetization scheme sufficiently powerpointed out, its a toboggan run down a mounta

Part of it (I suspect) is that while Equifax's issues were egregious and woefully under-responded to, it still is essentially one thing...your FICO score and the info that feeds it, that was the main loss/breach. To a lot of casua

The problem is with FEE, that as think tanks go, there isn't much thinking, and just a lot of trope repetition. They make AEI seem like RAND.

SF per se didn't. Most of the worst decisions were done TO Sourceforge by whomever bought it and the team. Frankly the site was dead to me after the last of the original four founders bailed.

I took a MUMPS course at University (my professor at the time at UC Davis was one of the language maintainers IIRC; a fellow named Dick Walters. It was baffling in spots, but the M database was kind of neat. Overall, someone else in this t

I worked for Lila when we were both at SugarCRM, and I never got the sense of what is being claimed at WMF was her modus operandi (I found dealing with her a fairly transparent affair, which is why I thought she landed at WMF). It's r

I worked in anti-piracy for half a decade...this is more or less probably due to diminishing funds for DMCA factories (which the RIAA contracts) and their overall lack of coherent success on the prosecuting of half the globe for downloading

...except for Jeff's own habits. Now I don't actually have a bad view of Amazon on the whole, but Bezos and his personality is well known for many years as demanding to the point of monomaniacal, and often cowing of others. That

"users are not going to adopt it unless it solves their business problems." Pretty much the truth of any product (software or otherwise) really.

Having worked in an industry that supported Disney as a client once in my career, I find that whole firm contemptible, and this behavior doesn't surprise me at all.

SF.net died years ago. This remnant that continues is a farce.

Regardless it will be a failure...combining SFDC with Oracle or MS is pretty much the step before total organ failure from morbid corporate obesity. Every time these megamergers occur they rarely if ever succeed. If its ORacle, the compan

I think I'm pretty much in agreement with you, particularly on the 'conformism' part. There is a certain sameness to the "failure" and "disruption" these days.

I don't see how it doesn't engage, inasmuch as it does beg a question about the changing makeup of who is polevaulting into the valley. I say that as someone who is a native and has indeed watched some striking changes in the las

"Any CEO not wearing a smartwatch by year-end is behind the curve" Anyone who writes insipid fodder like this should be behind a fist that has passed through their brainpan at high velocity, Voltron-style.

I wonder how long before they either reverse or otherwise make it boneheadedly easy to opt out. This strikes me as wholly to appease the gov entities and as soon as it negatively impacts the numbers...

The odd part here is that Firefox has gone back to being my primary browser. The fact that it now disables/disallows extensions the Play store doesnt like and flat out locks you from doing so manually really annoyed me. Don't try

This is inane. Most of us aren't that interesting, and those that are generally are also smart enough to do it without broadcasting it to the universe.

It will be interesting if PayPal holds FB hostage the way FB holds others. Swings and roundabouts....
