Replying to @Google
@Google did you know that the manage your current domains link and manage domain button on domains.google/ is broken ? Clicking on either simply takes me back to the domains.google/ page. I know you're transitioning, but I should be able to manage what have.

And while I hate the idea of trying to do support on Xwitter, there's no other obvious / appropriate feedback mechanism.

Modern filesystems are an awesome general purpose tool

Did you know that you probably CAN use a file system in your unit tests, and even your microtests? Things are FAST and HEAVILY cached these days. It's not 1996 anymore. Just use tempdirectory calls, so your tests start clean and leave nothing behind, and small data.

No Russia started it by getting Yanukovych to flip on the process for joining the EU which had taken 10 years to arrange, and then sent in VDV to start shooting protesters. Even his own party impeached him unanimously

Data delivery should be ethical .. "the right data, to the right people, in the right way, at the right moment, and for the right amount of time" .. (paraphrasing Nicomean ethics)

A great example of why digital marketing still needs direct sales and personal service
My SaaS business hit $1,500 MRR and then got stuck. Until I learned an important trick… Here’s the exact method I used to scale to $100k MRR in the next 12 months:

A great thread on website transformation and simplification focused on CX rather than mirroring internal structures and priorities
Over the last 9 months we’ve deleted close to 80% of the marketing footprint off ibm.com. Tens of thousands of pages. The result is that traffic, conversion and all our experience and NPS metrics are up. It was a gross project but I’ll tell you about it.

Australia is really good at this. I fervently hope that we remain a nation that can keep welcoming those in need and sharing our wealth - and recognise that the more generous we are, the more we all benefit.

A naïve assumption would be 100% of NEM for ~2% of the time, but it seems unreasonable to assume there would be no wind contribution somewhere and during the day there’s at least some generation.
