Who is being deceived? Non-Tesla owners?

Or are you suggesting that there are Tesla owners who are (a) sitting in their driveway wondering why their car isn't driving them to work or (b) returning their cars upon finding out many of the features on the Autopilot page require regulatory approval?

I've been digging the last few months of blog posts that nginx has been putting out, especially the articles around microservices. They're very well written and have inspired our company to think differently about a few of our applications. When we were offered the opportunity to talk with nginx directly for a private webinar, we were left with a very underwhelming feeling. It may have been the specific sales person, but they couldn't explain how nginx's paid services could help our company.

I don't think the article is saying that we should. In fact, it's talking about Saudi Arabia's efforts to move on themselves. They apparently even created a University with guards so that students and professors can exist w/o the typical religious expectations of their society.

They showed that side by side. Imagine the page reloading every 2 seconds instead of at the rate it is now. The improvement is incredible to see.

I think the larger issue is that investors (specifically ones with board meetings to attend) want to invest in companies in clusters so that they don't have to travel four times a year to a city with only one portfolio company.

It's crazy that we're actually talking about reddit having a problem with remote workers when even state and federal government agencies are open to it.

I hope this is true as a T-mobile subscriber. T-mobile is great in cities, but it's terrible when you leave. You can make a phone call, but there will no Internet. I just finished a cross country road trip, and if I were ever to do one again, I would get a Verizon phone for a month.

DDG gives me freedom to better craft my queries, and it's won my browser's default search engine for years because of the bang syntax. I can !anything and it almost always gets me what I need. I still !g and !b quite a bit, but I do so deliberately based on what I'm looking for (and I do think about whether I want the search affecting my Google Now results).

My tmux setup 13 years ago

Couldn't agree more. Switching and committing to tmux (and wemux for pairing) has helped immensely.

You can make the same argument. OneTab is a partial solution whereas using another browser which consumes less memory per open tab isn't a solution at all if you want to use Chrome's features.

The product is the thing, and the product can be viewed differently to different people in different regions with different motivations. A landing page shouldn't dramatize anything. Businesses need landing pages to allow for segmentation and to continually refine your message based on the audience. I have yet to come across a marketing agency that recommends against the use of landing pages.

His arguments are poor. These are the two most egregious.

(1) It Costs More and Takes Longer. Yes, designing something additional takes longer; however, if he compared the time required to add responsive code to the time it would take to setup mobile detect and an alternate theme, than this point may have some more sense even though I'd still side with responsive code.

(2) Non-Responsive Designs Usually Work. No. That's why we're having the discussion. If regular designs worked, there would not be a need.

This is a problem that a lot of companies struggle with. It's fine to criticize responsive design, but bring something to the table.

Not the same, but similar story... 6-8 years ago, I chatted directly with the person responsible for breaking into a web server on the server itself. It's a strange feeling to ssh in and watch someone browsing through files. I did a 'echo "hello?" | wall', showed the guy how to answer me back, and we eventually moved the conversation to IRC. I was using some website to convert English to Portuguese.

Turns out it was a (young) teenager from Brazil. His compromise was that he wouldn't touch our files or deface our websites so long as he could remain in control of the server. I carelessly tried to kick him off, uninstall the rootkit and restart the server only to find out that he could continue to use the same exploit to get access. Then we just called our host and asked them to take down the box. Lost a whole day to it, but I walked away understanding a little bit more about motivation, and learned about an exploit that I hadn't known about previously.
