    Your framing seems somehow backwards. Based on the other article[0] Nate and David bought out the business from Blue Systems. Jonathan (previously employed by Blue) proposes a co-o…

    It’s commendable to want to start a “cooperative socialist paradise”, you can pitch it and see if there’s interest with others. But it’s totally OK as well for others to not want t…

    We bought our .com after we became "successful" and had significant revenue, however it just redirects to our non-dot-com, because it's too much of a hassle and SEO risk to change …

    If I as a SaaS provider get my SSO SAML integration via a provider like Okta or Auth0, the auth provider pricing itself is also on a "call us" tier, with a per-federation pricing i…

    The code running in my browser isn't a multi-tenant production server, with access to the filesystem and DBs.

    Does Deno have some built in way to vendor / download the imports pre-execution? I don't want my production service to fail to launch because some random repo is offline.

    Let's keep moving those goalposts 'til the other team can't even see the goal anymore!

    If business travel is reduced, you can expect the cost of regular coach class tickets to increase massively as the former pays for the flight and the latter is just there to wring …

    Zoom works great on Linux, it's a proper native app and the quality is excellent. Screensharing is notoriously tricky on Wayland and has been a shifting target that is just now sta…

    It's still the exact same potato-cam in every model, from the Air to the $$$ MacBook Pro "16.

    A primary driver of SaaS sales is trust. Nobody wants to bet on a platform that is going to pivot or shut down within 12 months. It's not about price, it's about disruption to busi…

    My biggest worry with React is that it has restless developers with idle hands. I have (a lot of) component code that will never be converted to hooks. Can I rely on you not to fla…

    As a user of a library, I don't really care how it works. Under the hood it can be arbitrarily complex or simple, and please feel free to change the implementation weekly for all I…

    I feel that with class components I have a really good understanding of what is rendering and most importantly, when. componentDidMount, shouldComponentUpdate, PureComponent, etc. …

    At the end of each PPP application with your bank, you get the same SBA PPP form to sign as the SBA has publicized on their web page. You then have to sign and pinkie swear that th…

    The IRS has the capability to put money directly into business bank accounts, or require businesses to sign up for EFTPS.

    That sounds like an ad business version of the efficient market theory. E.g, that can't possibly be a hundred dollar bill on the ground, because if it was someone else would surely…

    That was however the intent of the statement: Companies that pay dividends or make share buy-backs are more vulnerable in a crisis [compared to otherwise identical companies who bu…

    Companies that intentionally run with razor-thin balance sheets and don't have any buffers built in to withstand shocks, are more fragile than companies with some buffer, all other…

    And they can definitely still do that. AFTER they've paid back the state aid they received.

    If the company is itself not based in NY or SF, it makes little sense and often isn't possible to offer NY and SF salaries. If remote work became the new standard, it doesn't mean …

    Firms applying for Danish state aid must promise not to pay dividends or make share buy-backs in 2020 and 2021. Companies would be allowed to pay dividends again if they pay back t…

    Unfortunately the demand for SAML is 100% customer driven. As service providers, we don't control the other end (the customer's IdP/AD). Even in cases where the IdP supports both S…

    I've looked at Cognito in depth, and it seems like an abandoned service. Hundreds of open issues that got rolled into the Amplify issue tracker, with little to no response. It lack…
