He doesn’t want to use Startpage because “I really don’t like their purple colour scheme.” Interesting. In terms of DDG, I wonder if a non-invasive search engine is viable. I can’t think of a company (Apple?) would has the resources to do i

It looks like you’ve been voted down, but I agree regarding housing. The housing market is absolutely absurd. It’s time for a reset there. Majorly.

It’s hard to say if your experience is isolated to a single job. No?

“A lot of people” are returning their Teslas due to no messaging and game support? Unlikely.

US resident here. I’ve never seen a handle like [0]. Every car I’ve been in has handles like [1]. I don’t know if I’d be able to get out of [0] in the event of an emergency without being made aware of it prior.

Same. In fact, lofi seems to really disrupt my focus. There are times where a beat/kick is so loud it becomes disruptive. I also like background sounds and true ambient music.

>“Well why does the entire internet say to use dd then?” Because they copy from each other just like you copied from them. Great statement. This brings me some much needed internal clarity on my own thoughts and actions.

>With tech in full meltdown The stock market does not reflect the reality - in fact, you might say the market is coming back to reality. There’s been small layouts but to call it a “meltdown” is a bit much.

While I have no data to support this, I don’t think “regular people” are purchasing OEM parts, renting tools for a $1,200 deposit, and risking self-repair. To me, the idea is almost absurd.

Here’s an important part: >Riad had initially set his car’s speed to 77 mph; he then set it to 78 mph, and then finally changed the speed to 75 mph. At the time of the crash, the car was going approximately 74 mph. For me, I’d convict. T

> For Apple, 10m phones is peanuts. But for an independent company 10m units per year would be spectacular. If Apple kills the Mini, those people will need a new home. Hm, I’d suspect most of the customers are more attached to the Apple

If that’s the case, why come back at all?

I worked for a company that was saved from bankruptcy due to COVID (i.e. product was instantly of high demand). Instead of using this “gift” to stabilize the company, management used it to raise their wages, hire outside consultants, and fu

I’m strongly in favor of gatekeeping. I know that’s a bad word to some but that’s how you retain focus and purpose. It used to be the “normies” that you’d shield your group from, now it’s the “normies”, griefers, and the perma-offended.

I’d agree that it’s in the top 3 non-kernel/os pieces of software. The part it plays in finance, accounting, and engineering is staggering.

CEOs need to be compensated on business metrics - not all financial. The metrics should account for short- and long-term growth, employee retention, public relations, etc. If you tank the company, you walk away with nothing.

There has to be more to it. If not, a simple refusal to sell would allow you to move the market. If the sellout bundle is profitable enough, why doesn’t everyone start a generic drug company to be sold and retire rich?

No. Google’s hardware is lackluster, their services come and go and are bloated with telemetry, their search is worse than ever, there’s no live customer support person to talk with in the event of a problem, and there’s no unified vision.

How does one determine it was a “bad day” verse a bad person? The answer to which is critical in a job acceptance.

I agree with you. I have Bombas and Hanes socks. I don’t notice much of a difference. I don’t care about the 10x life as I don’t plan to keep my socks more than a couple years.

I agree with most of what you said but when you compare COVID to malaria (at least in the US) it’s a bit silly. Malaria kills ~5 a year, COVID has killed ~500,000 and had life-long impacts on many more.

I agree. Plus, politics (internal) will inevitably start taking up more and more of your employees time.

The “developed world” is who is holding the values up. Crypto is not a savings account for poor people to avoid authoritarian governments. It has no use. It’s nothing more than gambling at this point.
