Do you support a kind of internal "yes, but..." note so that opportunities for improvement can be drawn from the questionnaires themselves and tracked? I always wanted that to be way easier.

> A Remain victory wouldn't have come with a 25% drop in the pound, rampant inflation, the worst growth rate of G8 countries

Why do people spout such provable nonsense?! Inflation is around the BoE target rate of 2% having just nudged down a touch (consensus forecast for Jan 2019 is 2.1%). Rampant inflation is what you see in Venezuela and Zimbabwe. A moment's thought should disabuse you of this opinion.

Back in late 2015, the UK's growth was around 2.9% based primarily on fundamentals that are largely unrelated to Brexit (IT and software). Those fundamentals haven't changed so there's a high likelihood that growth is dragging due to overall negative sentiment as a result of Brexit uncertainty.

Clear that fog, and growth should bounce back. The fastest way to clarity that honours the referendum result, though many don't want to hear it, is a no-deal departure with appropriate WTO exceptions based on national security assertions (de-risking essential supplies) during an FTA negotiation period coupled with the (already given) assertions on the EU citizens' right-to-remain in the UK.

Thanks William. I look forward to hearing from them. We only have 10 days left on our trial.

Only if you actually then invest some time in selling it. I've had radio silence from their sales team when requesting to purchase an self-hosted licence. The one thing I know about Microsoft (GitHub) - they _get_ enterprise sales.

- Atlas Shrugged - Ayn Rand

- V for Vendetta - Alan Moore/David Lloyd

- Heat: How we can stop the planet burning - George Monbiot

These are the books that quite literally changed my world view and interpretation of our place/purpose in it.

I was quite sympathetic until I hit the mini-bio at the bottom:

"Matt Kulka works for Local Motors in Phoenix, Arizona. He loves to drive cars around race tracks, his expensive hobby that he just doesn’t want to kick."

Care to elaborate why that's so surprising? Nokia's been investing externally like this for a couple of decades. PayPal (Confinity at the time) would be a good example!

As a Brit I'd just like to say that _that_ is how a country should grasp an opportunity. Rather than the bitchy whining I've seen from many of my compatriots so far!

Just installed this via homebrew. Looks pretty good to me so far. Just a wrapper round the various web versions of the messenger services but saves me pinned tabs in my browser at least!

That's awesome. And covers the area traveled by The Martian too. Just spent rather too much time zooming in and out of interesting features!

It's like Mariah Carey's running through a forest of wind chimes and you can just make out her voice through the chaos!

Is there any plan to allow the service to point at one's own DO or AWS account? That would remove one more privacy concern some folk seem to have.

Well, at some point you have to trust the legally binding contract you enter in to. Otherwise you're proposing to put servers in your garage (or wherever) which is precisely the complexity this service is attempting to get away from.
