tallerholler··on LinkedIn shares drop 40%, erasing $10B of company's value
this... I've refused to ever sign up for LinkedIn despite many peers asking me why not and acting like I should be on there.. I've thought their spam tactics were dispicable and harassing. I've unsubscribed but still get emails trying to get me to sign up. No one "has" to use LinkedIn or any other software for that matter...

tallerholler··on How the Epidemic of Drug Overdose Deaths Ripples Across America
This really hits home to me as one of my best friends and one of the most brilliant people I have ever met died 6 months ago from a fentanyl overdose alone in a motel room. I met him in the #django channel on irc about 10 years ago when I was learning python an django and we ultimately later became great friends and he came to live with me in California for a time and did consulting work. He was always way ahead of the curve with technology - he knew about technologies, platforms, and architectures before anyone else I ever knew would know about them. He also suffered from the disease of addiction and ultimately his life ended all by himself in a motel room in Texas after taking a bad batch of fentanyl. It was a complete and total waste and if pisses me off more than words can describe. He could have been working at Google but instead all he got was a short obituary in some small town in Texas. His death has motivated me in many ways in my personal life and in my professional life and I really hope that we as a society can figure out a way to prevent other people like him from losing their life at such a young age and having such a horrific ripple effect through their friends and family that is a total preventable waste. It sucks :/

tallerholler··on Pandora to Buy Rdio Assets for $75M, Rdio Files Ch.11, Will Shutter Service
ever since I discovered rdio a year or so ago I am always telling friends etc.. I think their UI is superior and the experience is just better than e.g. pandora imo...
tallerholler··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
yes. the damage goes way beyond the death toll. it will be interesting to see how (if) this impacts current policies towards the middle east/syria/isis, personal freedoms/surveillance laws etc.

maybe it will also have a side-effect of uniting people and countries against a common threat to all humanity.

tallerholler··on State of emergency declared across France after Paris shootings and explosions
this is what I thought too.. France is a Western country and is probably much easier to target than e.g. the U.S. or even the UK

tallerholler··on Gateway Inc. co-founder Mike Hammond dies at age 53
on the one hand I agree with you.. death is a personal affair. on the other hand I feel like if they are going to put it in the public domain, they should expect that people will want to know the cause of death, especially (as someone else pointed out), if their death seems to be at a reasonably younger age...
