Hey @Spotify , super impressed that you found a Freddie King concert in London. Particularly since he’s been dead for almost 50 years 😅

Product failure is expensive.

And look around, it’s common.

Why do products fail?

Anyone else think it's really annoying that in 2020 you still have to download and install Skype for Business for a single call with someone from @Deloitte? Which then leads to installing a bunch of crap from @Microsoft 🙄

@alfakini É obrigatório que todo mundo tenha plano de saúde, e se vc não tem como pagar o Estado ajuda. Um valor cobre a família toda independente de quantos são. Zero perguntas sobre condições pré-existentes. Medicamento pra criança (com receita) é “de graça”. Pra adultos, no máximo 5€.

@alebruck Here’s what German efficiency looks like, in my previous office building. It might be a hundred years old. Alas, no undo...

[Fernando Garrido Vaz @garrido]

@alebruck It was in Brazil, actually. Here I’ve not seen that yet.

[Fernando Garrido Vaz @garrido]

@alebruck I’ve seen one - and only one - that does that with a long press.

Completely unfair how the media picked the #FaceApp privacy story. It’s not like they are doing anything unexpected or disallowed. The media should pick on companies that knowingly do funky stuff with user data such as, just for instance, Facebook...

@dataquestio It seems the data file from the Jupyter Notebook tutorial now gives a 404...
