Not one but 3 appearances of Malcolm Turnbull, all as the Communications Minister no less, on Qanda and there was not a single mention of the NBN.

We had Malcolm Turnbull appear 3 times on Qanda as the Communications Minister and there wasn't a single mention or question of the NBN on any of those appearances. So you have a Communications Minister, in charge of one of the largest public infrastructure rollouts of the last 30 years, appearing on a public question and answer show 3 times without a single mention of this project. You would have to be exceedingly naive to believe that wasn't deliberate.

Honest thoughts about the move to SSPL?

I know there's a strong business case for it, particularly for cloud focussed products, but is it not just a ploy to get people to switch to commercial licenses?

As someone who has done serious data analysis as well as DBA / SQL work, people who say to never use Excel as a DB don't know what they're talking about. I've been through the whole wave of pushing data analytics suites (cognos, business objects, SAP Hana etc) through roll your own stuff like R Studio and sometimes Excel IS the best tool.

Not to say that some people don't use it in horribly bad ways, but there are entirely valid use cases for where it genuinely is the best and fastest way to process a dataset.

We should rename it Freedomite, you guys would be all over it then.
