Imagine trying to compete with a new cloud patform (like Digital Ocean does?):
The ability of these companies to vertically integrate all the way down to the level of the physical infrastructure of the internet itself reduces their cost for delivering everything from Google Search and Facebook’s social networking services to Amazon and Microsoft’s cloud services. It also widens the moat between themselves and any potential competitors.

Can’t defend why I find this cool, but I do:
«For the purpose of finding the number of auto-repeated tracks, the UA must floor the track size to a UA-specified value to avoid division by zero. It is suggested that this floor be 1px.»
“We’re just writing a spec here, but we think implementors, like we are in our day jobs, would like this hint. But y’all can do what you want. Who knows? Maybe you’ll find a better algorithm! Also, we’re thinking about implementation as we write the spec.”
Lots of really good replies to this tweet.

Worked in public education his whole life (was going to retire this year), fixed anything and everything, and always supported me. If anyone has grief advice or recommendations I’d really appreciate it. I miss him. https://t.co/A6rsP3QKZk
We two have run about the hills,
and picked the daisies fine;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.

Seems about right.
A.R. Moxon, If You Can Keep It (@JuliusGoat) Tweeted: What is meant by “we’ve never been so polarized as a country,” anyway? What if instead we said “It’s been a long time since the moral demands caused by the injustice suffered by marginalized people have been made so unavoidably present to so many otherwise comfortable people”?

Caroline Orr Bueno, Ph.D (@RVAwonk) Tweeted: As I’ve said, I think Julian Assange’s despicable conduct sets him apart from real journalists, but that conduct is not what he’s being charged for. The conduct he’s being charged for is indistinguishable from the activities of real journalists, and that’s cause for concern.
