this means we need more visibility on what's sucking up so much data. and then we need to start boycotting and deleting any and all apps that insist on wasting so much data. i bet, those services and sites that are so huge will quick

it has nothing to do with ideas. It's about opportunities: and right now there's not very many of those.

Two fatal issues I discovered: - the apple store was so biased, even when I typed in "piano tabs", it couldn't find your app in the top 10 results. I had to type in the name of the entire app: "Piano Tabs: Learn & P

Absolutely. i so often do a search and it presumes to think it knows what i want rather than giving me what I ask for, sometimes even when I'm being quite specific. I will say it does a great job for programming stuff but a lousy job

There's nothing wrong with sympathy. I have all the sympathy in the world for anyone who works at a software company. Those FANGs can be especially toxic. The fact is, how you spend your money, it's a choice, especially if you&#

I'm so relieved someone is working on this. I mean, the cars of the 60s and 70s, many of them were so much lighter. Now all the sudden, cars have become fat and heavy and bloated. Of course it all comes down to consumer demand and re

The major selling points of metaverse is that you can do work or play from anywhere (why else would you wear a 1500$ helmet that makes you look like a goofball). The push to "be at the office" is proof that metaverse does NOT wor

here in CA, the CPUC is trying their best to prevent people from adding Solar to their roofs. They've even got rid of Net metering almost entirely with their new NEM 3 rules.

This isn't the first time humanity has improved productivity. Productivity has already been increased by x10 or x100 in the last 10,000 years and yet the unemployment rate is at record low levels. this latest round of efficiency gain

production costs decreasing doesn't mean less wages. A widget worker in a factory who produces twice as many widgets an hour can still make the same amount of money or maybe even more.

the problem is not efficiency itself, necessarily. The problem is, what are the side effects, what are the negative impacts? In theory, efficiency in a competitive landscape should bring down production costs which then brings down consume

i mean by having inflation run hot at 5-10% for many years or decades, they're defaulting on their obligation to provide a stable value currency for the people.

There's two kinds of spending: assets and liabilities. assets make you richer, liabilities make you poorer. Car is the later. It's okay to save every penny but you can't keep it in cash. You've got to buy some real as

in other words, shorting the dollar. it's the same reason you buy just about any asset that's not bonds or cash AKA real assets. People know, it's only a matter of time before the feds default on the value of the dollar.

We are well aware of it and extremely unpleased with that. They force everyone to drive a minimum of 2-4 miles to get to the closest store and chances are it's a stupid mcDonalds or some other nonsense like that. i really don't

Personally, I like to plant as many different types of fruit trees, fruit vines and berries as I can and as much diversity as I can. But, I find sticking just to natives is kinda limiting. It's nice to prefer natives but I wouldn&#x2

I'm not a big fan of using 3rd party recruiters. but, one advantage of using those is that they do a great of job of lighting a fire under the buts of all those HR folks. They find a way to create FOMO in the hiring manager and their

Working at a company like that you really have to come to terms with the fact that any second you're working there, could be your last. Act accordingly. I take that to mean, that one definately should not be working evenings and week

Yeah, the zoom replacement looks really cool. Butt... The biggest problem I have doing zoom calls with family is an unstable internet connection at their end and I don't think the metaverse is going to be able to solve that. And besi
