That is their choice though - they could setup a technology services subsidiary, and then provide IT services to the other subsidiaries, transparently to the end users in those subsidiaries.

> decent amount of start up funding in the form of a grant

This is fascinating? What was it in absolute terms, or relative to your base salary?

Did you have to have a viable startup idea and it was paid to the incorporated company? Or was it just extra cash in your personal bank account?

Did you do that, or did you just get another job?

Good point - plus the conditional writes recently announced. Did anyone else implement that?
So the goal would be to eventually move that graph into running code and query it. But it’s never going to be large - easily fit in memory.

Obsidian is PKM right? Does it have the idea of labels on the edges?

Tacking on a related question - what software should one use to interactively create/update/see a small graph?

Thinking specifically about a graph of knowledge, so will be an iterative process.

Just looking for anything more than a text editor really!

I like this way of putting it. I find a LOT of technology questions and problems can be easily answered once you have a good understanding of the layers of the stack, whether that’s OSI, Kubernetes, or a large enterprise cloud platform on top of AWS.
Say you're a small or solopreneur company, and you don't have any enterprise customers yet.

What do you put on a features/pricing page to help you start finding out what your enterprise customers might actually want? (Not the generic stuff like SSO and audits, but specific to your product/market).

Just a generic "Don't see the features you need? Email us!"?

When I was a kid Star Trek Voyager broadcast on a Sunday night, and it was the last thing on a weekend before bed. So I had exactly the same issue with the end credits music, just more frequent!

And this is why you pad the bucket name with random chars.

Does Confirmation of Payee even exist outside the UK? Even if it did exist within other countries, I highly doubt there is international integration.
> The old public key’s certificate revealed it was issued on April 5th, 2016, and expired on April 4th, 2021, and its thumbprint matched the thumbprint of the key Microsoft listed in their latest blog post, named “Thumbprint of acquired signing key”

Am I reading this right? The key was expired? And still in use??

The AI summary is hard for me to visualise/validate. How about exposing it free for the top story of the day?

I’ve wanted to build something very similar for quite a while. Mind dropping me an email?

Yep, prices are prices, but switch and bait on the mailboxes is the issue here. Really struggled with the title length limit!
Are there any reputable registrars with APIs with Terraform providers, outside of Gandi and AWS?

Just not sure I can give that up!

Do we know that this would be mitigated by https://tailscale.com/blog/tailnet-lock/? My instinct is yes...

Uhh, need more details! What happened?
De-Google your life. Perhaps Search is fine - but absolutely remove all dependency on Gmail or Google Accounts.
