Do you have the impression the Twitter web application has been improving since Musk took over?

Also, the Steam client has to be one of the most stagnant applications I ever had the pleasure of using, not sure that makes Valve super efficient.

Well nothing, this is news to everyone as of today.

And the Q&A discussed audience questions like "What can I do to be a better employee?" if you need an idea of the type of questions being asked there.

Have you taken a look at what Dropbox actually does today? Just open their website and hover "Products" and you will see that the company does much more than "just" file syncing today (and they're profitable doing so).

Looks really polished and I love the minimalist design.

One thing I've been wondering that a lot of web platforms offer: how do you allow users to bring their custom domain with TLS? What's the tech behind that and how does the process work?

Are articles on BI not proof-read before publishing?

CERN should try to mediate between the software company and the student.

The high fine of 30k was probably set because the company thought CERN was violating their licensing. For an institution or large company the size of CERN, 30k might be a justifiable fine.

If the company knew the infringement was done by a single student, they probably would not have set such a high fine.

Also, I doubt 30k would hold up in court as a reasonable fine, given that the student had access to the software anyway. Although him downloading the software illegaly shows some criminal energy.

But maybe I'm wrong and the company knowingly fined 30k for the single person's license infringement and CERN tried to avert that. Would be nice to know some more details.
