    I haven't been in a position to proscribe process, I'm just a consumer. We have tried leaving messages in Slack but that process always ends in a matter of days from disinterest.

    I think it's mainly that was is messy and hard to report on in the moment. There's propaganda coming in from all angles, of course, muddying the water further. FWIW Washington Post…

    Slack huddles have poor ergonomics what with their use of global keyboard shortcuts. I avoid them whenever possible.

    It's too bad we don't know the names of the other companies that bid for the rights, not the amounts. They might be just as bad as the winners.

    Further, people are too quick to dismiss the culpability of engineers in the design and implementation of these technologies. It was programmed by software engineer; people like ma…

    To me it sounds like a 70 year old talking the way they think 19 year olds talk.

    I'd be interested in reading more about this. A lot of the cost of medicine is overhead interfacing with insurance providers and all the layers of profit therein, but I don't know …

    Have you read the relevant research on the subject?

    We're using Bitwarden for this, on the free two-person organization. It works pretty well when we remember to save passwords to shared folders.

    In addition to all that you said about key management -- if you do manage to leak your keys and you chose a bad passphrase good luck proving to anyone that any correctly signed tra…

    Your citation doesn't entirely support your argument. The court said "[vast] economic and political significance." This seems like a power grab by the court because now they and th…

    I haven't found it yet, but Twitter only shows me two or three replies at a time. Seems like this post should have just linked to that.

    I think I'm missing all of the context. Who is this person? How do we know he was fired (or worked for the company)? All we have here is a video of someone talking to camera and no…

    I'd love to have multiple windows. At some point in the last few months Slack broke the command-up/command-down shortcuts that would take you to the next conversation with an unrea…

    That does make sense. Of course it's the result of lobbying and not some high-minded concern about privacy or espionage.

    I didn't like Trump but that wasn't why I was opposed to the TikTok ban. I was opposed because it was pointless and stupid. If we want to ban Chinese businesses because of human ri…

    If China really is as bad as all that (and I think it probably is) why are we wasting any time or energy on TikTok? It'd be a lot more effective to sanction China over those human …

    And then there's Mary Miller (R-Ill) who celebrated the ruling as a victory for white life. She claims it was just a mistake, but she's also the person that used a quote from Hitle…
