Look for "Object Storange" for instance and in the row will be links to all the competing services, so you could pretty easily do this to learn about competitors through the one you know... At least for the big players.
Generally refers to the idea that a microservice should be designed to scale horizontally (with more instances) vs. vertically (more compute power). If you can scale horizontally you're more likely to be able to meet changes demand at a lower price.
The phone was literally only a couple weeks old. Nothing new had been paired. I changed the name back and figured I would look it up later. The failed file transfer was automatically cleared (just a phone thing) and I wasn't able to find information about it.

It is an Apple branded Mastercard, with some level of iPhone integration. It is something you've had for years.
I think about this from time to time -- how people build up this sense of personality related to a forum or site. I think what tends to happen for an individual is that when you're talking to millions of people you don't have the perspective on who says what anymore, it becomes "twitter thinks" or "reddit says" instead of "these 10 people."
I think the reason everybody knows everything is that because we don't look at the individuals when we talk in a forum like this. There are always going to be some 'famous' people whose names pop up over and over, but as general responses you don't really know what a person thinks about something. We internalize a consensus of opinions and then it becomes just "well, HN said this."
This is most apparent when the forum contradicts itself. If there isn't another way to denote the opinions (like a sub-forum) then you start seeing comments like "everyone was against it yesterday and now everyone is in favor?" when in reality it's unlikely to be the same people responding anyway.
> Steem is a form of esteem, which means to prize or value. Steem is also a homophone for steam, which is frequently associated with power, and a step further, steam powered trains gave influence to English idioms, such as ‘this conversation is picking up steam.’ The associations with prizing, language and empowerment only felt right.
How did the cryptocurrency markets handle that, anyway?
Well, if so, they have a lot of company: https://goo.gl/zfz0pp

One thing I found especially interesting is toward the end, where Katie Couric sits down with Renée Richards and Hari Nef. It was interesting seeing Hari talk with Renée and realize they disagree on the binary topic.
I don't kid myself into thinking I'm doing anything meaningful here, but to have so much of process put so bluntly is eye opening. I suppose it's comforting to know that it's so common it could be put into a list like this.
There's always people with something to say.
I think stand ups are not replaceable by this or much of anything since the face time and active communication are what is most important to me there. But, my memory isn't great and 30 minutes later I probably couldn't recap the meeting for you. Having something like this would help solve that, but I also know that I probably wouldn't keep my own up to date.
I could see something like this having really nice Jira integration, for whatever that's worth.

Well, yes because that's the accusation, but no because you're correct in the sense is that you have to assume the worst if they aren't making it clear. Once the catch-all is in place they can do what they want and there doesn't have to be a clear indication that anything has changed.
I attempted to find something that would indicate they had to suddenly include that clause, but the closest I found was the introduction of Google Voice to the iPhone[1] a month before the SMS[2] was first mentioned. Apple's site makes no mention of metadata collection so I assume this has nothing to do with it.
The more I try to defend it the less convinced I am.

Many times, criminals illegally clone valid payment cards
on to non-descript pieces of plastic like hotel room keys
and subway cards, making detection and interrogation
nearly impossible. Since virtually any plastic card with
a magnetic stripe can re-purposed as a credit, debit or
prepaid payment card, being able to determine the
identity of the card is critical to your investigation.
The whole thing is moot once chips are (finally) in major use.Edit: Also interesting, the new Time 2 has an MSRP $50 cheaper than the Time Steel.
