This is less of an issue than the headline suggests. I worked for a publicly traded US company remotely. The company was based between Ft. Lauderdale and West Palm Beach Florida. I…

Tokens are becoming a hard commodity. Subscriptions don’t work with hard commodities. Subscriptions work fine where fixed costs/capital investment are massive and service delivery …

After 3 years in a US public company’s IT department between 2013 and 2016, I had been working in private closely help companies with revenue between $100 and $500 million the last…

If you want a bit of irony, look up the Flock CEO’s home address (not terribly difficult). You will see it’s blurred out on Google Maps Street View

My propensity to participate was definitely decreased when I would always see others editing and nitpicking my contributions. The value and character of my contribution was unchang…

Correct, many people get worked up over the idea of the patents that could be in play here; plenty of good reason when that is a consideration. The court has already decided that t…

Well written. This applies much further than just equity raising startups.

Farmers are not anti-technology, they are against technology that locks them out.

You are spot on, this is why I am conflicted. How I feel does not matter. The net benefit to the company may not be the same as what I see.

What do I do when the entrepreneurs I work for send out AI slop in their communications? I work for a great group of entrepreneurs as CTO/fCFO. They are all sales guys. In my child…

It’s an overstatement to call the 2021 incident a “hack”.

I feel the same way. I only started using Mercury about 6 months ago and I’m continually impressed that it just makes sense.

LinkedIn is far from the only actor doing this. Browser extension fingerprinting is not new. LinkedIn‘s size, scope, network effects make this especially concerning.

I disagree with the characterization that this is a security flaw unaddressed by Strava. Does anyone (French military in this case) really want Strava to be responsible to decide i…

At some point you commit the time to learn what you need to. I like to think of the analogy to SEO. The veterans in the industry are not who they are because they were at the front…

This is 12 years old… He was incredibly lucky. Assuming there was no other criminal penalties, he screwed up royally and gets off with a fine he will be able to pay and a life that…

Nothing says it like this quote: “quickly discovered that readable syntax didn’t eliminate the complexity of logic, data structures, or system design”

I have had great success in the past building business event alert systems for underlying salesforce data with Notify on Heroku data warehouse replications of salesforce. The poten…

Considering that Microsoft perfected change control in the legal industry (ms word’s track changes), something can be done to add a degree of change control to spreadsheets.

We are unfortunately getting to the point where the only option for non-power users will be to create an online account to run local hardware you own; just like Windows 11. I run O…

Many fears of “AI mucking it up” could be mitigated with an ability to connect a workbook to a git repository. Not for data, but for VBA, cell formulas, and cell metadata. When you…

17 years ago I wrote a short VBA macro that takes the high life’s range of cells, concatenates the values into a comma separated list, then opens the list in notepad for easy copy …

That’s my rap sheet…

This seems to be a case where the error was that the 2nd diversion was to another commercial/passenger airport. The situation after it was determined Edinburgh was a no-go was dire…

A few years ago I spent some months consulting on a large FL based residential insurance agency’s order creation processes. By the end, I was floored by how much Citizens (FL’s las…
