You could also install am app like Tasker or Macrodroid and set up triggers for handling incoming SMS (e.g. If SMS received, forward using another mechanism) For outgoing SMS, have Tasker or Macrodroid watch an email inbox and send emails t

"at gunpoint"? Seems like you're painting with some very broad strokes there. In any case, it seems there's more than meets the eye here. Her team INCLUDING her manager appear to be standing by her and they would likely

Through Cainiao, their logistics arm. It combines a massive logistics setup with pick-up points in some places to improve efficiency. They also have massive sorting machines basically sitting in idle parts of their warehouses until the next

I'm a huge fan of Metabase and I've used it extensively but the pricing model is really tough. Taking myself as an example: At the growth stage we're at, we'll start to need more data access logging/auditing, per ro

I think OPNsense (an offshoot of pfsense) has this capability built in.

They're great. I've had less downtime with them than DO and I have several VPSs there. I'd highly recommend them.

Using that quote in this context essentially represents the epitome of first-world problems and privilege.

That certainly looks like it's in the right direction, I'll re-familiarize myself with the docs again since it's been a little while

Big fan of Metabase, thanks for all your work! I've always been curious if there is a feature in the works for charting or displaying comparisons across defined timespans (e.g. total page views this week vs. last week)

I'm a fan of your work! We use Metabase pretty frequently. The only nitpicks I have are around the concept of Metrics (still not quite sure what those are or how they're useful for me) and the initial download size of the librarie

This "human" factor was also characterized in the movie Sully when it was apparent that just a few extra seconds for pilots to process the issue made all the difference between landing safely at a nearby airport vs. landing in the

Regarding mobile payments in general, it seems Kenya/M-Pesa is always the standard that people refer to but we don't hear much about mobile payment adoption in other African countries. In your experience, do you think others still

The Palm Pre (and WebOS) When it first came out I thought it was kinda cute so I got it for my gf but I ended up loving it. The slider mechanism was solid, the OS was a breeze to use, and it was years before Android and iOS fully caught up

Did you mean the Nigerian song by P-Square featuring the words "chop my money"? Because that's not about scamming.

Same here. Just picked one up a few weeks back and used the stock web-gui to upload the newest OpenWRT. Worked without a hitch.

One thing I noticed when I tried it out a year or so ago was the high data usage on mobile devices even when messages weren't being sent or received. I had set up our own Synapse server but the high data usage, quirky 1-1 vs rooms chat

Having lived in a country with similar (and fluctuating) internet restrictions, it's always interesting to see how small design decisions like that can have such significant ramifications on so many people. I remember one SaaS product

One of my biggest concerns with Matrix was the amount of device data that it exposes. It's extremely easy to fingerprint the devices that someone is using (it literally tells you right within Riot) and by design could make it easy for

I use it almost exclusively on Android. I'll use Brave if I want to keep tabs open for a while and Firefox Focus if it's just a fleeting read.

I also work in tech in Africa (2nd largest population on the continent if that's any indication) and it is certainly challenging. Love to chat/commiserate more about your experiences

You may be surprised. Certainly the number of people with disposable income will be less than in many other places but those that have disposable income often pay more. Tax on cars is upward of 200% and traffic is becoming a major issue. Wh

This opens up a lot of investment/business opportunities. Ethiopia is land-locked and given its not-so-great relationship with Eritrea, uses Djibouti as its primary port. The time-savings of the railway will bring down port-to-Addis sh

The title makes me shudder. 1. Africa != Ethiopia and Djibouti. It's a massive continent 2. "Joyous Africans" conjures up some pretty bad stereotypes 3. The reason they're "joyous" is only because someone else

In Ethiopia's case, it's not so much the connection speed in Addis. There's a great deal of interference from the national Deep Packet Inspection filters that leads to timed-out requests, reset TCP connections, etc. JS-heavy
