Slack's bait and switch: another company against the IRC and XMPP standards

Slack has finally decided to close down their IRC and XMPP gateways.

come to close the gateways.

They're of course being economical with the truth here.

La revolución fértil: los países pobres están dejando de tener hijos a una velocidad récord

mientras países como Polonia o Reino Unido tardaron más de noventa años en reducir a la mitad la tasa de fertilidad (de seis hijos a tres por mujer), otros como Bangladesh o Irán han tardado apenas la décima parte (entre veinte y diez años). Una evolución salvaje y precoz.
