That’s exactly my point. You want it done the way you want it, and complain you want more. Seriously, the entitlement. It’s like this because you chose this path. DOn’t use the phone and they’ll change course. But you whine and whine and us

If you want to LARP as a pioneer maybe do some research about their mortality rates. But cynicism aside, this is just the beginning. This will scale to a lot of the US. Even folks in the burbs.

It is not socialism. Socialism is when the workers control the means of production. Not a fat windbag mobster president and his thugs.

Some people just like to complain? Or at least make it clear they are working out to everyone around them? Or they are working out too hard for their fitness level? Lots of reasons.

The stock market has been a bubble since the 90’s but the bursts have been minimal because the elite class uses the stock market to extract wealth from normal people. Once they find something new (enshittification) they will suck all the va

I had a line of freshman out my dorm room door in college because I was one of three kids with a PC in my dorm and the only one with a printer. My good ol epson mx80. I charged each procrastinator a beer for last minute print jobs because t

This article was a relief. I’m always a tiny bit worried Amazon will change some thing drastically and I’ll have to migrate. I’ve had an ec2 instance running since 2013. It requires effectively zero maintenance. So I am glad there were no s

I think it is negative: it actually drains knowledge. It is an anti knowledge field because experts won’t be hired if they can be vibed. This sucks all the brains out of the room. Hence less than zero.

Agreed. I can see how people who approach it like social media find it adversarial. But I think that is on them. If you don’t look at the feed, it’s a great Rolodex like you said. If you do look at the feed, then you’re just hooked on socia

I have hired “outsourced, offshore workers”. Anyone who has similar experience knows the challenges of finding quality talent. Generally, you don’t know what you’re going to get until you’ve already written the first check. Sometimes it is

Mensa really needs to be left out of these discussions. It’s not scientific, it is just a money grab for people who need intellectual validation. You can be admitted with a top 10% SAT score and no in-person testing at all. The in-person te

It was literally less than 48 hours where the president went from fully negative to fully positive on the intel ceo. I don’t think the ring is all the ceo kissed. That’s the president’s plan for every ceo.

We are clearly seeing this happen in real time. The fear started in right wing circles as civil rights expanded and now they are in control and acting like a “lifeboat in hostile waters” yet their policies aim to hurt everyone not just the

Warren Buffet is a very carefully crafted “aww shucks” persona. He’s spent megabucks inventing it and keeping it safe. And I lose the argument because I cannot find the article from a decade ago that really dug into it. Either SEO has vanis

I disagree. Point to a centibillion+ company that isn’t fronted by a toxic asshole.

I was a Folsom resident for 15 years. If you’re referring to physical goods, Folsom didn’t produce any. Perhaps you thought Intel site there was a fab? (FYI: Folsom was a small post-goldrush dwindling mining town that turned into a suburban

It takes a village. Also to be successful in tech it takes an asshole. No way around it. At some point all successful companies share an overly aggressive visionary. The entire company doesn’t need to be toxic, but the apex does. If you don
