Performance and reliability is indeed terrible. It is a mystery that a word processor crashes so often and take 10s of seconds just to quit. But the fact is that they get the job d…

Anything Microsoft other than Office+outlook sucks. I don't know about azure though as I have not endured it yet. Adobe wants to have you by your balls the moment you install their…

#1. Internet is no longer the source of truth. I can buy it by CPC or CPM. #2. Within the first paragraph of the first hit on search results, a policeman is enforcing the restricti…

>Wow, how did it take the public so long to wake up? I thought the default was that it was public property in most places on earth. Sorry it will take only a minute. Let me check w…

>And now somehow he has people on the internet arguing that a billionaire should be allowed exclusive benefit to public land- as if of all people, the billionaire is the one that n…

Then he should be kicked out of the court in a less than 5 minutes. Why is it being discussed?

The property rights are what they are. Who the owner is should not cloud the argument. If you are a middle class person and have a lawn in front of your house, would you allow the …

What is worst than being popular? Perhaps bought popularity. A team member decided to boost an instagram post(same FB platform) expecting a few tens of likes to start the virtuous …

I don't feel qualified enough to advise. But here is what I did after folding my startup 1. I used it as a very expensive resume. Costs me a few hundred dollars in running costs on…

Instagram and WhatsApp are the bought step kids of facebook and by all indications(ok just hearsay) are more relevant(read popular) than the original product i.e. the facebook. A s…

Should I be worried about the branding? Or the fact this behemoth of a company is buying it's way into every corner of my life. Close your eyes and imagine a few drones trying to s…

Well done Google. So now you won't spy on me only when I am typing something on a computer or phone but also when I breath or when my heart beats. *uck FitBit. There it is in the d…

I agree with he sentiment as an outsider, but let's build 5 bar charts and talk about this stuff again :-)

No idea about Portugal, but in some countries you don't need to register a company or any other legal stuff unless you do more business than a certain threshold. Find out in your c…
