    Its interesting - the salary cap comes into play as well - but this article (and the parent article which is a bit more detailed into the tennis aspect itself) basically summarizes…

    I had tried this but found it a little bit weird - switching back and forth on the same device between the 'hard drive w/ full files' library and the 'primary drive optimize storag…

    This is awesome! This might be a great replacement to attempting to get the Windows app to work. Has anyone had luck with the iCloud app on windows? Similar to some other folks in …

    I don't have any particular horse in this race, but looking at this exchange, I hope its clear where the issue is coming from. The original post states "I am seeing Codex do much b…

    Never hosted or surfed, but joined the meetups in a couple of different cities when traveling, and it was great every time. (This was 2013) Seems like it just had a nice group of p…

    Seems like a fair point, given OPs opening says “crowdfund independent testing of specific products you actually buy” - having the top products be more commonly bought items may be…

    Posting the same link 4 times in 18 days, by the author, certainly seems like self-promo, but somehow allowed? I don't see any URL manipulation, and it certainly took off today. (I…

    That one Apple is still allowed to collect fees on (which I'd love to see the provided justification for!). Per the article: "Apple can no longer collect a 27 percent commission on…

    People leaving is definitely a step-function of negatives as the responsibilities get shared between the (now smaller!) team. I think GP was more saying that improving retention, a…

    Likey buying - 800k for a 800sqft - sounds about right for major Canadian metros like Toronto/Vancouver

    “The American Telephone and Telegraph Company (AT&T) was listed on the NYSE on Sept. 4, 1901. Only 11 other companies have been listed longer than AT&T.“ Yeah, impressively wrong g…

    FWIW to avoid the plugging in (which I hated) Calibre can be configured to send emails as well, which works well with the email to kindle feature, and with a little fiddling you ca…

    Don't work for Google, but been to the Toronto office (it is on the smaller side). It is in the heart of the Toronto downtown, near Richmond & Spadina, next to the old & new City H…

    I'll agree wholeheartedly that the analogy needs some work. Tools are different - we have our literal physical tools that we don't generally dive into (keyboards, mice), we have to…

    +1 - Finished reading it this year, very fun read and much in the same vein as this article.
