Has anyone tried LinkAce? I'd love to hear someone's thoughts on YaCy vs LinkAce. This is great timing. After looking at YaCy for my Synology NAS a few week ago, I looked at some a…

Can you please elaborate as to what causes that hidden power structure (i.e. what goes wrong)? In your opinion, is the idea of flat management inherently flawed or is it just hard …

I am so, so confused by Uber's marketing video. I feel like its satirical. I'd love to hear if anyone has the inside scoop of how it was made/ how Uber employees feel about it.

Woah, can you expand on this? Are you a contractor or a government employee? What makes it laid back? Are the deadlines just more reasonable?

Guys, please don't go to Zero Latency. When I was in Melbourne I coughed up the 80 bucks and went, and it was truly a horrendous experience. They had the worst tracking I've ever s…
