I worked at a big bank and knowledge management was an after-thought. Confluence was seen as a "A place where knowledge goes to die". I heard about StackOverflow for teams and thought it was a good fit -- we have a lot of siloed (even worse with Covid/WFH) developers and a lot of large complex systems. Just knowing who to ask was often a mystery. Having a place to ask and share would have been a great tool.

Unfortunately management churn ensured it never made it to the funding stage, and then co-pilot (which totally lacked our institutional knowledge) was posited as an alternative. That was the end of that. Sad.

What we've all be clamoring for all this time: better ads. Wow! Who knew?

Until you forgot to shave, try to open the door three times, get locked out and need to make an appointment at the "genius bar" in two weeks just to go home.

The first Mac users are now in their 80s. They'll never think to look there. There will be phone calls.

"We don't make products, we make money".

Yeah, good luck with the TWA capitalism game. Let's sell the factory to make our quarterly! Shareholders will be happy (this quarter, never again after).

Both hemp and bamboo grow many times faster than trees. Wouldn't that be a better carbon dump?

The idea that we want personalized, relevant corporate content is Bespoke Spam. We don't actually get to personalize it ourselves, like shutting it off. It's all push, push, push by marketing departments and and poor tools for us to make our own decisions about that content we actually want. The dog wags you.

Your privacy is our marketing program.

So, to workers get to write off Apple's slice as an "expense"?

.....they're merely projections. No holographic interference found here.

...who will be taught that labor laws are for losers, so are government regulations. Lying about your product is "free speech", and that performative photo-ops in Israel are better than actually doing anything about antisemitism.

Sooooo.... just like Musk turning off Starlink service to Ukriane?

Nothing like putting your country's survival into corporate hands. Hmmm...

Cows eat agricultural waste that would decay into methane anyway.

...and shouldn't the landowner have a dangerous road/bridge barricaded?

That on-board navigation system is like adding several kilowatts of power use. Doesn't come for free.
