   I’ve heard that Chicken Mary’s and Chicken Annie’s were featured on some foodie show as having really good fried chicken. If I ever make it to Pittsburg #KS, I need to stop long enough to try both places.

   It's finally happened. For over a decade, seeing a #Windows update (either OS or application) has triggered an "oh, no, what's it going to break?" response. Now, #Android and #iOS do the same thing.

   I wonder if avoid April 1 was intentional. I always side-eye when there are real announcements on April 1: https://blog.chef.io/chef-software-announces-the-enterprise-automation-stack/ #chef

     @musicman Very likely was intentional. Even when I see them months later, announcements dated April 1st always say “this is a prank” to me.

   Enjoying my daily #YoCo ( #yogurt and #coffee ). I temporarily have half-caff instead of my usual decaf because I bought a "pumpkin spice" flavored coffee and mixed it in.
   
   The flavor isn't great, but it smells nice.

      TopTal is a recruiting firm. I guess the idea with these articles is to get devs to actually come to the site.

      It’s probably five positions posted multiple times, rather than fifty different positions. I’m sure I’d have heard if these hospitals were short that many nurses.

    When Moon Zappa’s song “Valley Girl” was popular, someone I knew moved to MN for work. They soon returned to SoCal, because everyone in the town where they moved expected them to talk in ValSpeak (and had some other misconceptions about Californians that the person I knew did not fit).

      I was a business major, and we did have some discussions in Business Law and Legal Environment of Business about antitrust (US term) and competition law (European term). However, that was a _really_ long time ago. For example, we talked a bit about one of the railroad barons (JP Morgan?) forcing a steel baron (Andrew Carnegie?) to sell by refusing to carry their products, and h…

      Actually, a company doesn't need to have *monopoly* market power to be too big and powerful. If it is part of an oligopoly (a small number of companies that together control a market), it and its co-oligopolists are too large and powerful. I believe it was John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil that was actually organized as a series of "trusts" which owned majority interests in do…

      If a company is able to leverage dominance in one market to catapult to the top of another market, then that company was too large and powerful in its original market. Probably the canonical example of this is Amazon. They started as an online bookseller, then expanded to other products as other booksellers closed up shop all over the country. They added their marketplace and t…
