This doesn't help. Not everyone has access to the same infrastructure in their home town/country. Let alone the fact that a class at $X AM/PM in the US may be in the late evenings, late nights in their home country.

At some point is it possible that Amazon buys UPS or FedEx to boost its own fleet?

We migrated from Compose to Atlas and their support's been quite good and responsive. Compose was utter crap compared to what Atlas provides.

Technically how does Quill compare to Trix? https://trix-editor.org
Is there any blog post on their design/architecture? I couldn't find one.

Re:What is the worst thing about working at Microsoft?

>> It is working at a company that people don’t believe in, despite the immense importance it plays in their daily life.
Very true, Microsoft's business level software does not have as much visibility IMHO. People underestimate the role their software plays.
>> Imagine you got out of that chair for a second. Walked across the street to get a cup of coffee. Got hit by a bus. The ambulance that picks you up? Microsoft. The hospital that saves you? Microsoft. The doctor? Trained at a school running Microsoft, using delicate instruments running Microsoft. If you prefer not getting hit by a bus, think about the role that Microsoft has had in making sure your baby was born healthy.
What role, Windows, SQL Server, Azure? Microsoft may have helped there but so has the janitor who keeps the hospital clean, the barista who makes coffee for the doctors. Doesn't mean I'm going to thank Microsoft for saving my life when I get hit by a bus. This is a valid argument, but a very weak one because Microsoft is one cog in so many that keeps a hospital running.
Rest of the arguments in the article are quite valid, but when some tells me my ambulance is running Microsoft software I have a horrible flashback with a BSOD.

I don't think they're shutting down over this warrant. This warrant doesn't seem to be related to Snowden as it was executed on March 28 - http://ia800908.us.archive.org/9/items/gov.uscourts.mdd.2362... Snowden's expose didn't happen until April/May
It seems a case about Child Pornography - http://ia800908.us.archive.org/9/items/gov.uscourts.mdd.2362...

The learning curve for Vim, Emacs is much higher than textmate. If you can afford to buy Textmate, then do so. It is well worth the money and will increase your productivity.
