softliving··on Twitter to ban political advertising
ads are nothing but propaganda, someone trying to sell something it could be good or bad.

I see twitter where there are fake profiles and their posts. twitter allows anyone to register with a fake email using services like mailinator and continue spreading lies. They should be banned.

I think ads are okay as we have been manipulated by ads via media newspaper etc. no one questions them, what about the news reporter who is biased and writes news like the ads. Atleast the ads we know are ads and sane person can determine based on history that ads are not truth.

Hmmm, merger slowdown market, employees beware of the trickery! this happens and then the mgmt thinks of redundancy to show markets how efficient they are ... is there a humane company which maybe does not pay much but secure enough and challenges us to rise together ... seems like a distant dream!
softliving··on Elastic files for an IPO
I like to see open source backers going public, they give a boost to open source community who want to share but do not want to just spend energy where they cannot get something out of it (money/fame/recognition or just a satisfaction of doing good). I am sure the people are proud of their work. Good luck with the IPO!
