Surprising to see them ditch their cloud product. Especially considering the number of startups out there based around offering a cloud database.
Wow, this is beautiful.

Ironically, I cannot send messages on Signal right now. They can’t handle the extra load?

> He added that managers, especially male managers, should turn off cameras during these times or employees will otherwise feel pressure to show their faces.

What a ridiculous article. In this time of remote work, connecting is hard. Humans are not input/output devices. We need to be able to see each other in the eye. Managers, especially, should set the right example and turn their on cameras - and ask their team to do so too.

I can’t believe we’re still in this postion. 20 years ago, a fresh new browser entered the market that blew the competition away: Internet Explorer 6. It’s hard to overemphasize what a crapfest the browser scene had been up to that point. Netscape was a buggy mess (remember Netscape Gold?)

5 years later, everyone hated IE 6. It was the new browser to hate. It was a buggy non-compliant mess, much as Safari is now. And again a new browser shook up the scene: Phoenix (which would later become Firefox).

Later, Chrome entered the market. It’s the superior browser now.

Browsers come and go.
