@realdonaldtrump How much do I have to donate to get you at (1) my wedding? (2) someone else's wedding, hypothetically, for a "lark"?
@audreywatters They live in fantasy. If they're caught in a landslide I will be very, very upset. No escape from reality.

@jf That sounds excellent. I miss the smell of Oxford, where the scent of the old books under the streets wafts up through the drains.

@derek5coms It's all about the value chain. Open software is often less polished because it's been built with far fewer resources.
@navybook @derek5coms There are 2 kinds of open APIs: standards-based & proprietary (their own design). News orgs tend to build the latter.
