    "everyone"? What are you talking about? Have you ever worked in any sector that has security policies? Even if you haven't, perhaps spend 2 minutes using a search engine? Here is a…

    They don't have to match the market leader, they just have to be "good enough". There are oodles of use-cases where sending your data to an outside provider is a complete no-go. In…

    Tipping is great, if it is optional. I feel in many parts of the US it is now expected, if not demanded. This is bullshit. If your business model doesn't work without tips, you nee…

    Elena Buckley can write; this was a well written text. But I didn't find anything much interesting in the writing. Sad. I think this will be the only bit I remember: [Fifteen-year-…
