I share this optimistic take. I'm Canadian and when I see these stats, and see that they are rising, I get the sense that there is a greater number of people able to experience a good death. I'm old enough to have experienced a re

A surprising number of people are optimistic and hopeful about technology while not experiencing an existential crisis about it. FWIW I’ve noticed with some confusion that over the past years HN has become more cynical and pessimistic towar

This was an easy decision. I appreciate the kind push. I continue to use and rely on Pinboard regularly. Also, this is the first time I've noticed © Nine Fives Software which is just the best tech business name ever.

I only know Canada where one owes taxes when an event occurs. Being issued stock is not an event. Exercising options for stock is an event. IANAL nor an accountant and this is not financial advice.

Quite a few people asking about my experience porting my number to Twilio. A few years ago I was frustrated about paying CA$100/month for my phone plan in Canada for unlimited talk/text and a few gigs of data a month. I realized I

This is great. I ported my primary phone number into Twilio years ago. Most apps/websites have no problem with a `voip` number type. But some systems, including Twitter, have refused to accept it.

We're considering making the jump from Jira. Has anyone else done this? How did it go? I especially wonder how well Asana deals with estimating tasks.
