How can one tell how much is being saved through your service compared to contracting directly with a SaaS (Box, Okta, for example.) keeping in mind, that rarely are list prices what small companies pay to begin with, though admittedly, la

How else is the article going to create discord if they can't take a kernel of truth and extrapolate it to make it seem like something bigger?

Being that we are animals, this trait is not restricted to humans. Animals don't observe much when another type of animal huts a different animal but may come to the defense of its own kind, if related.

With 77 Billion they could have: -Built better transit to North Bay. -Built/Complete Bart circuit around the Bay Area. -Built HSR to reach exurbs of Gilroy (S), Tracy (E), and Napa (N). That would have given breathability to the bay ar

Presumably they'd be used for FEMA-type issues; which are generally about imminent hazards.

I definitely prefer the old logo. The new one is extremely generic and does not convey any feeling via the logo.

If you need RAW file archival, then most photo sites will not work and you will have to use OneDrive, Box, etc. Most free photo sites will convert or require conversion to popular compressed formats. That may be okay with many/most, h

Maybe Wired knows that and all they are doing is trying to create discord in order to have more engagement and drive more views.

One "hidden" cost of people over replacement numbers is "footprint". The more people the more we encroach upon wilderness. As people gain purchasing power, the more they plug-in to consumerism. It all adds-up to a leg

Does that mean the countryside will now have a tax deficit since those taxes collected will now be (rightfully) counted for the city?

You make a good point. However, you imply that the watchful eye of HR would prevent this happening and yet Google is not sex-crimes free. I grant that it may show up in lower numbers but these things will show up in a years-long program.

Google does decent support for their paid services. Free is different but paid tends to be decent.

They have probably worked those issues out by dogfooding this internally already, don't you think? It's not like they just thought it up and didn't test it out internally as they are wont to do. Those issues were likely disc

That only goes so far. One only has to look into "gutter oil"(1) to see that reputation is not always paramount in vendors' minds. (1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutter_oil Also, the GI tracts of peop

Companies like Netflix have the cachet and can retain people despite an anti-worker culture. It's also a self selecting group of over-achievers who may like the environment. I'd argue most above average but not stellar workers wo

I'm ambivalent about that. It's one of those words whose meaning has changed in a context. Like trying to take back the word senile to mean "old age". Generally people take accident to mean a "collision", whet

I think the city charter contributes to the pattern where supervisors focus on their core constituency and keep city-wide issues at the periphery. The different districts have different concerns and often do not overlap, so its hard to get

bus drivers do more than just drive the bus. -For example, keep some modicum of discipline. -Help in the event of emergency (health or otherwise) -Guardian (against kidnapping, etc.) That is to say, adult supervision may still be necessary.

It's a bit late for the economist to come out with this. They should have come out against the invasion of Iraq or the campaign to destabilize the middle east after that. Why now that we're beginning to disengage from the world? I

Are you saying they are withholding information or that they only get one side of the information? They can't publish what they don't receive.

Hasn't Assange said that the campaign reached out to them? Opposition research is not extraordinary. Wasn't it revealed the Trump Dossier was paid ofr by Podesta/DNC? They all do the same stuff. That said, what has WikiLeaks

That's interesting, so at first Twitter wanted RT to spend more on the election, to do more exposes and journalism with the elections as a backdrop because having RT and others on their platform would be good for the company (and the e

That would make sense if the odds had been plus or minus 5 pts but by all accounts the odds were something like 93:7 in Hillary's favor. I don't think Russian intelligence had better understanding of our electorate than the DNC i

Has a conspiracy to have someone elected been confirmed? IFAIK, Russian ops was to sow distrust in the electorate not so much to favor one candidate over the other. The ultimate goal would be to have the elections questioned by the losers
