A voice based BBS could probably trace some kind of cultural or technical lineage to TikTok today, interesting to think about.

It's funny to think that not that long ago businesses would pay a premium for that feature set from their voice service provider. Maybe not the SSH part lol, but I worked with plenty of small and medium businesses in my career that pai

Great piece, I definitely enjoyed reading through it. I don't have a question about ASML or the machine in particular, but I am curious about your thoughts on something: I've recently noticed a fair bit of media (blogs, YouTube vi

I think on average it's a safer assumption that the union made up of your peers are more aligned with your interests than the owners of the company are. All of my friends that are teachers do admit their union has flaws, but also are v

That's actually a great point, and probably touches on the broader trend of chasing profits now at the cost of long term health. For what it's worth, the two Disney adult couples I know are both having kids and besides bluey every

I agree, I think it does simply make sense to cater to the customers with the money. If I were starting a business selling products or services to consumers directly, I wouldn't target a customer base that could only afford to buy it o

I guess that is their hobby, consuming the products or experiences and sharing that with others.

The reality actually is you do not need to spend a lot of money to participate in any hobby. Some hobbies are expensive, and may have gotten more expensive in recent years, but at least in my experience and social circles it's very eas

Yes but in my fantasy world I'm the king because my morals and opinions are best for society. And of course I'll always be reasonable and never have a bad day or let my personal interests take priority over the good of my subjects

I have the same dilemma. Privacy and anonymity has always been a top priority for me, but we can't excuse malicious actors, we shouldn't even accommodate people with good intentions but misguided means if the outcomes are so clear

The people committing TARP fraud may have been the same people that caused regular working people to lose their homes, businesses, and retirement funds, but unless that venn diagram is pretty clearly overlapped I think you're misunders

I like supporting my local community - so I guess I don't have much loyalty to a company in Arkansas but I do have loyalty to a company down the street or a town over.

I thought it was a good video, but similarly I had an issue with how he discussed the loss of the skilled trades and professions in the US. He did a good job highlighting that these jobs are rare, don't pay well and are important, but

For most commercial companies you'll see pharmacy benefits split similarly: 1% - 2% of people on the health plan will account for ~50% of the pharmacy drug spend. That's regardless of overall health of the rest of the members. It&

That is a great point, the things I value most from my time in FIRST are the friendships, connections, and soft skills I built. The engineering is fun, but I definitely use my teamwork, leadership, research, and presentation experience more

I can generally agree with lowering barriers of entry, even if there would be some social stigma of having a doctor who didn't go to school. My reservation would be around ethics classes, but I guess I just don't know if any of th
