Although it reduces competition in short term, it’s likely to give more competition in the long term by creating a strong competitor to Microsoft.

And based on the numbers in the article, it seems like Atlassian had less than 4% marketshare (Slack expects single digit growth - and assuming they have around 50% of the market)

This deals seems like the last step before a full - and in competitive terms logical - merger between Slack and Atlassian.

They dont say they delete it. They say they clear it. I dont think that wording is an accident

I wonder how wayback machine will work after GDPR? I can't imagine they can just show content that the authors deleted from primary sources?

Sounds like a copy of the new Techmeme Ride Home podcast - which is a pretty good summary of today’s news:

This is really great research. I don't understand howcome Google didnt react sooner. It's the biggest black hat exploit I have seen in years.

We almost went with contentful when we chose a headless cms. But their pricing for large multilingual sites was through the roof.

Directus is an open source alternative that has the same features for free. So we wet with this. Very happy with this CMS.

If someone can write 13 pages in bullet forms about things you need to change, you're not doing your job very well...

“Look, we’re watching the Russians. We’re seeing them penetrate some of your infrastructure. Here’s what we’ve seen. What can we do to try to assist?”

"In mid-March, researchers with Trend Micro, the cybersecurity giant based in Tokyo, watched the same Russian intelligence unit behind some of the Democratic National Committee hacks start building the tools to hack Mr. Macron’s campaign."

How does US Govt and security firms monitor such hacks? What are they looking for and how do they do it?

The most interesting part of this article is how big incumbent companies fail. Not by direct competition, but by a new product category/service that makes the current one a pure or irrelevant commodity.

Being a statement piece does not necessarily have anything to do with hardware. It's much more about branding.

Thats Ben Thompsons point, right? That being underwhelming on features doesnt matter in any country but China, because Apple has a moat there: iOS. But iOS doesnt matter in China because there is another OS on top of it: WeChat.

Isnt the first point about Apple's global marketshare, and the second about China in particular?

IMO, the market is vastly overreacting. It's only natural that the customers that grow very big (e.g. Uber) eventually build a proprietary alternative to cut costs. That doesnt mean that the need for the service is generally declining

This is most of all a story about instability in Western societies. In my 34 years on this planet, I cannot remember any time where one would enter a plane with a valid visa, only to realuze everything changed so swiftly.

I'm concerned that this will be the trend many places in society now.

There is a good article about it here: https://backchannel.com/the-final-days-of-obamas-tech-surge-...

"I also spoke to a number of former team members. Publicly, almost all of them expressed optimism that the work would continue: The transition was proceeding cordially, the efforts to reform government IT were bipartisan, and Congress would back their efforts, which had already saved money for taxpayers and delivered services for citizens. But lurking behind every statement was an existential dread that Donald Trump would either pull the plug on one of the great achievements of the last eight years, or worse — he might order the best and brightest to work on projects that violated their moral codes. If those fears were confirmed, it would mean the end of one of the most inspiring developments in government in years — and a backwards step for a bureaucracy that had for too long ignored the nation’s most powerful tools."

Didnt we all knew this would happen eventually?

I dropped Dropbox because of too close relation to NSA. Switched to jottacloud. Not quite as good, but at least its in Norway.

Gotta love American hypocrisy: "Proving yet again what a fabulous idea it was to stage the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, NBC has discovered that all the Games' attendees can expect to immediately get hacked as soon as they get to Sochi."

Wouldn't the US do the exact same thing if it was in the US?
