Sorry, I wasn't clear. I was referring to "the sky is falling" news in general.

Curious what others think. In my small real offline world, it seems this has caused people to get worked up about the sky falling a few times and then quit paying any attention to the sky or boy crying wolf at all. Which means when events a

Good reminder that exactly this time last year we had a big blow up that was short lived and blamed on the yen carry trade.

I will be very concerned for MSFT if small companies start outperforming larger companies. That's when Microsoft's advantage disappears. If AI truly encourages smaller, flatter organizations. IMO large enterprise adoption is their

Please explain more. I haven't seen anything of quality. Best I can observe is they've increased ads on videos and pages.

This made me go down a rabbit hole. Looks like Mac Minis had a 64 GB model (hard to get now) for roughly $1,600. You could get a 3 of these (192GB) & thanks to the Thunderbolt 5 connection, they out performed any single board AMD for a

I think a tricky thing is names like WMT, COST, TJX already have high p/e ratios. You could usually try utilities or energy but those are also high due to AI buildout & Iran. I think gold could make a come back since it's beat

They have original thoughts! It's just that those employees get squashed by other divisions or having to meet short term quarterly profits it seems. There's also the whole giant trillion dollar company doesn't want to invest

I've found less friction in my experience. I prefer pair programming remotely over in person. Pair Programming in person - one computer & one person looking over another's shoulder usually. Pair Programming remotely - two comp

If you can get people to sit down and think through topics, many of the right and left people are often very aligned. Unfortunately to many people just take headlines and memes from terrible sources as to how they should think without putti

A lot of the loopholes are really simple. You don't need a sophisticated tax scheme, just enough money to do the simple ones.

You need to apply it to staff as well and also the judicial branch and all of their staff. Then to all of their family as well. The way I understand insider trading is usually prosecuted is you find out who made the bet & then you have

Google famously just did this with their Captcha service. Had lots of people signing up for a more complicated version on Google Cloud that they didn't need to do.

Strong agree! They had great devices before iOS/Android and then again after. That Lumia phone was awesome. They had one of the best cameras. Their live tiles they had on the phone & desktop OS were really good. Even Windows 8 had

Giving a field a year off and cover crops have been done for hundreds of years by farmers who also till. There are a lot of different combinations of variables done for both tilling and not tilling depending on many factors.

Has it always been a case of incentives with Microsoft? Builders - let's build awesome stuff with great experience. Execs - need to meet next earnings reports goals. Let's sneak a few features to help M$FT stock price at expense t

In my experience, it's really hard to get someone good who can do a plumbing job, or electrical job, then patch the drywall & match the texture well. You need to search for a "Handyman" service for this & often you&#x

I can't remember the names. Best bet if you don't want to listen is to just get summaries or transcriptions of the episodes you can an LMM questions on. The info on his podcasts isn't telling you who to short. It's more

Highly recommend using JetBrains Rider instead if you want the best IDE experience. It's not a Microsoft product & is used by a large percentage of .NET devs.

Part of me agrees with this & says we have been doing IFTTT thing for 20 years. Other part of me is arguing that old annoying Dropbox/Box Hacker News scenario where all us tech people aren't impressed but this makes it easier

Changing my title to "Astronaut" right now... I'll be using that line as well anytime someone asks me to do something.

Strong agreement with this. The whimsical, fantasy, fun, light hearted things are great until a large enough group of people take them as a serious life motto & then try to push it on everyone else.

I recommend John Boehner's book. He complimented Obama often, stated he & his team were far more ready than McCain to work with Bush on the economy. They were smoking buddies.

Maybe some Microsoft Devs can publish a book about all the secret regedit hacks they use to make it function for themselves. I think Dave Plummer or another Msft vet mentioned you can remove hibernate & get 25GB back on your hard drive.

Nadella had it easy when he took over. Stock soared before he did anything. The only improvements seemed to be made by others using the CEO change to try & push a few better agendas. Acquired podcast had Ballmer on this past year. Gives
