@jamiexml Even if Known was a plot to control all global content, we give you your data, so you could thwart us.

@jamiexml Best is certainly running it on yourownplatform - but there's a longer runway to get there accessibly. @dangillmor @kevinmarks

@dangillmor That's a fair description. We do also support your own domain (and of course there's the open source version). @kevinmarks

@coaxmetal @jonbeilin Strong suspicion: they won't be using Bing for much longer.

@jonbeilin But I do read it as: okay, now Mozilla has 5 years to diversify its income.

@jonbeilin Agree, but revenue is obviously an issue. A robust choice between Bing and Google is still better than just one of those.

What I'm hoping for: search engine competition is a good thing for the web, and all of us. It'd be cool to see @Yahoo back in the game.

Fascinated by @Mozilla switching @Firefox default search to @Yahoo. Points to something bigger, separately, from both companies.

@heyjudesue That's true - although often for me it's like finding my keys. I need to be looking for something else for it to click.

Really great to catch up with the @poetica team. Lovely people, with a beautiful product for collaborative editing. http://poetica.com

@heyjudesue I'm definitely in favor of 40 hour weeks, 28 vacation days a year. Good for creativity, too.

@heyjudesue -- weekly hours actually help create that diligence. If you're working all the time, you can't maintain that concentration.

@heyjudesue Not German but this is accurate afaics. I think it misses a crucial piece though: the longer holidays & enforced cap on --

This is a little sick, but I'm tempted to use it to build an offline desktop app for Known: https://github.com/naetech/nightrain

@linkletter Yeah, I'm genuinely concerned; California grows a huge proportion of America's food.

Lollipop is really a lesson in the power of animation. Every interaction is a story. Beautifully done; lots to learn from.

@mapkyca I mean, this is actually a very serious drought, but you're welcome to come here any time :)

How many days of rain have we had so far this year? Struggling to remember more than a handful.
