It’s brilliant that someone would do this. There is no problem statement, a series of bad design decision and component choices, and a rather silly price. It reminds me a bit of the British tradition of shed engineering and it’s great to se

Apple are a patent troll company, often using their size and weight to beat down competition. They have stolen functionality at will to make the product they want, and then fought it out in court. https://en.wikipedia.org/

The nature of the article is hardly in question. It is the headline, and purpose of the piece. My best advice would be to apply your vigilance to submissions as diligently as you do to the comments, nipping it in the bud, as it were. That&#

The submitted article is a flame war against non-developers and promotes the same attitude in the workplace. Other people have jobs too. It's condescends : "Your non-techie peers just don’t get it, no matter how many times y

TSLA has far more speculators in the stock than users of the product - which was the criticism levelled at bitcoin by OP You mentioned TSLA has future earnings, which is true, but it has 12bil of debt of the balance sheet too. Bitcoin has n

Seems like the real pressure, rather than perceived pressures, is your Visa dependency. I'm speculating a bit - but the fact that you perceive this job as a pressured environment, suggests that it's not right for you. Very simply,

I don't know if you think its clever somehow, to wilfully avoid the point & attempt a low brow straw man, but I can tell you that it isn't.

so what bitcoin (and of course other crypto) is, is complex and ultimately subjective : it's different things to different people, just like money. It does some things money can do & does some things that money cannot. FIAT mone

It's amazing! Hundreds of SciFi writers predicted such surveillance, I dont think many predicted it arrive by invitation - i expect many parents will support this. Same for smart speakers. It's a hairs breadth away from compl

It would interesting to surrender the whole process to AI. Let's have AI decide what the productivity requirement should be, given biological constraints of us meat sacks. Feed it all the data - churn, sick days, the Geneva convention

a lightbulb moment for the author, in which he happens upon the idea that films made for mass appeal are somehow limited in artistic scope & ambition.
