It doesn’t seem especially strange to me that they don’t allow the use of Slack, since they would already be on Teams.  I’m sure there are companies that use both but there’s no reason to invest internal support resources in two ecosystems that should be doing the same thing.

This seems to me like it’s cook telling the rest of Silicon Valley to stop fucking up before you ruin it for all of us.

I think the author may have misunderstood trump.

“So perhaps Cook has a bit of a point here—or at least the most effective brand rhetoric.”

Ive seriously been expecting him to veer off into flat earth territory for some time now. Every day, I feel it getting closer. 

Can’t confirm identity without credit history. Can’t get credit history without credit. Can’t get credit because, well, there’s just so many reasons...

I KNEW IT!

I’m sure that Trump would be the last person they told if there actually were alien visitors.

I was caught up in this today in the DC area. I went to Target to buy a single PS4 game for my daughter. The guy at the electronics desk told me to buy it online and use the “Pick up in store” option because the registers were down. I did that and ran to customer service where they proceeded to tell me that they…

That headline is incredibly sad, and depressingly accurate. 

Seriously. I hate hate hate the always-on-voice-recorder-assistant-things, in part because IAAL and good god way to waive your 4th amendment rights (WHO VOLUNTARILY WIRETAPS THEIR OWN HOUSE?!), but come on. Did you look at who the Plaintiff is? The named Plaintiff is the child, but because children can’t bring suit…

I don’t think the problems lay as much with the technology as they do with both the safety and logistics of this sort of thing. To truly make this economical would require a massive build out of infrastructure involving some type of mini airports at the same time that the pipeline for small craft pilots starts ramping…

Uber’s really dangling that shiny bauble of promises to keep the cash flowing in, aren’t they? You have to wonder when venture capitalists are going to put down the coke long enough to realize what’s happening. And what it’s going to do to the economy when they finally expect their investment to produce more than …

And yet this is exactly what both Amazon and Google have been putting out (the standalone devices, not the “connect to your TV” stuff) the past couple years. I also get it. It is the perfect “grandparent device”, something always tied to the same spot, easy-to-use, and something that just works. That latter part would…

“I will only pay a reasonable licensing fee,” said the man handing over his wallet.

Wow. “Left leaning” news sources are actually just the ones that favor factual reporting and intellectual honesty. Shocker.

I had Mexican earlier, which was good, but it gave me heartburn which has been pretty unpleasant. Tums didn't help much, either, which is pretty annoying. 

UTC purchased Rockwell Collins right after Rockwell Collins purchased B/E Aerospace. UTC already had a huge percentage of representation in every airplane, be it Boeing, Airbus, or any of the smaller guys, but with the these two one board (plus the 2012 purchase of Goodrich), they now make pretty much everything in…

...with analysts projecting muted growth over the next several years.
