We were forced to move to Slack as well. Do not like it. It is more distracting than making us productive. I enjoyed HipChat [ https://www.atlassian.com/software/hipchat ]

The govt blocking the access of similar foreign apps (Whatsapp, Skype etc.) to the Chinese people has some role to play in the popularity of it. But yeah nice to see "Made in China first, for Chinese first" idea working out well f

They provide free services. What do you expect? The data they have collected is so lucrative for them that they would never offer Facebook, Gmail, Google Search on a premium basis to daily consumer. I mean I would take premium package if th

A lot of metropolitan cities already have bike-to-rent programs e.g. CitiBike in NYC, GoBike in SF. This looks like a quickly and sloppily put together plan to hush noisy investors and shareholders. But hey it is never a bad idea to have mo

Greedy realtors would want this to happen in their city as it will inflate property values and fill their pockets deep. They certainly can influence city officials (via campaign funds etc.) to throw tax incentives at Amazon which will come

Quality ads would be like "hey see that you are buying Topo Chico. Why don't you try these new flavors as well at a discounted rate?". Instead of "Buy Nestle water" ads. Or something very unrelated. Basically a win-

We see (or are forced to see) ads on Google, Facebook et al. is because they are free to use services for consumers. Eventhough that bother some us so much that we use all sort of ad blocking plug-ins at our disposal to stop seeing those pe

As long as Google dose not regulate it for the interest of its stakeholders. There is always a lot of corruption happening at city and county levels that goes unheard because it does not pick national level momentum. Nor do I have time nei
