CIO's love calling Office365 "cloud" and "digital transformation"

Right...

"phone manufacturer that respects people's privacy"

Small market (outside of HN) :)

Can't believe how Joe & The Juice are allowed to play so loud music at airports

Airlines at LAX must love their LA plans...

Heck - even HPE are selling HW for a monthly bill based on actual consumption.

In the enterprise world, many companies prefer recurring payments (opex). Reasons include...It's risky to invest large sums early on in a project without knowing the outcome. Also easier to get approvals for a smaller recurring payment than a single, large sum

Wouldn't you get paid extra for working on such a day?

Yeah, just like Sharepoint developers

You forgot support as main driver

Gotta love HN as there's always someone with deeper understanding who can give a critics view of "breakthroughs" we find in the news

In the Nordics few salespeople wear suit (especially in tech)

Am not too well-read on this - what are some good AWS/MS alternatives to Google Maps?

As someone who works in sales, I totally agree.

People in procurement are often measured on the amount of discount they can get. Try getting that when you purchase online.

In the Nordics you can't compare the "salesforce" of AWS and Google with the army that is the Azure-team.

Yep. I actually like Mondays

Everything Red Hat does is open source.

You can't just change the code - then you also change the whole product development model. If IBM wants a change - then it must be preferred by the upstream community in order for it to happen. If they bypass this, then they kill the existing model and will find most engineers leave

Quite clear that this has not happened at IBM.

Imagine Jim Whitehurst being CEO of IBM in 2 years.

OpenShift is a Kubernetes-based container platform that can run on AWS, Azure, Google...

This reminds me of Spain where a colleague said it was safer driving motorycle there, than in the UK. I asked why, and he said Spanish car drivers usually anticipate motorcycles passing on the inside when turning, overtaking etc.

In Swedish there are two ways to say "one" - "ett" and "en". Ex. one table = "ett bord" and one cat = "en katt". There is no rule for when to use either. And yes, this makes it extremely difficult for foreigners.

A good start is to look at the interest rate curve (cost of borrowing money has gone down dramatically). Here is the US Fed Funds Rate since the early 80's:

Read about this in a book recently, not sure which.. Parents who abandon/do not care about their child, will raise a child which believes no one values them. This causes them to believe they are not worth much, thus they will be afraid of going out and getting their voice heard as an adult - because deep inside, they believe their voice to be worthless. This person will avoid risk, avoid being heard as it may be "punished", according to previous experience..

We don't need legal resources

Customers' wallets will decide their faith

Agree.

Open Source values will still remain - working in a transparent, open (not always nice) way.

More with CoC, harassing people will not be tolerated

Just reading their Google headline proves your point - looks more like CNN or Fox News:

TIME | Current & Breaking News | National & World Updates

One of my favorite books.

Mindset by Carol Dweck

Exercise, and books. To name a few (in no particular order):

"Choose Yourself" by James Altucher "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill "Mindset" by Carol Dweck "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie

Please. For innovation, Denmark and Finland plays in a different league than Norway. /the swede

It is, if you ask Ben Horowitz
