   In a world where Raspberry Pi exists you’d think we’d be able to make such a TV happen.

   I have a Samsung smart tv which I’ve never accepted t&c and never connected to wifi. I’d love to make it dumb or at least get rid of the nags to accept t&c or connect when someone accidentally hits the wrong button on the remote. An

   I really like the hide my email feature in iCloud for this reason. I’ve had to burn an email after making a campaign donation this year. They email you and put you on a million lists but then they also share your email with every other camp

   I have worked with so-called “product minded” engineers who 1) do nothing, 2) do what they want, or 3) try to tell product how to do their job. It is dysfunction at its finest.

   I was expecting it to address the common practice of product owners often not owning business outcomes. Also would have loved to see mention of the hijinks that goes on around half-ass features often in conjunction with the abuse of the ter

   Dated experience here. I used OpenBSD a long time ago (20 years ago) as a primary desktop as well as within data center (physical not virtualized). I absolutely loved it, however expect you will spend more time configuring for your liking.

   Popular ideas are exactly the problem in the industry. I’ve been really put off by what I believe is a lack of critical and original thinking in tech. Bad leadership within management, cult and fad following seems to abound.

   Thanks! Now I just need to filter my LinkedIn feed and the corporate AI leaders at work.

   I sort of wish there was a filter for my life that would ignore everything AI (stories about AI, people talking about AI and of course content generated by AI). The world has become a less trustworthy place for a lot of reasons and AI is on

    Is $1.5B a lot or a drop in the bucket?

    Reminds me of autonomous vehicles a couple of years back. Or even AI a couple of years back, remember Watson? The hype cycle was faster to close that time.

    15 years ago I worked on a couple of really high profile rails sites. We had millions of users with Rails and a single mysql instance (+memcached and nginx). Back then ruby was a bit slower than it is today but I’m certain some of the chall

    This. Companies typically get these non-compete and non-solicit clauses in place when you accept RSUs or other equity award. In some cases they don’t even vest for a few years or could be worth only a few thousand dollars. It’s hard for me

    The other day I looked myself up online and was happy to see a bunch of fake data that I enter into signups have made it to my public profile. I wonder how much GPT and friends will distort our realities.

    On the flip side, it’s also amazing how much advances in the technology have made cellphone ownership accessible to the public.

    Hard to imagine it getting worse. Browsing search engine results these days reminds me of post apocalyptic movie scenery.

    Agree, it was by far a much better story line and set of characters than The Force Awakens and so on. I generally like a lot of the series on Disney+ and get the sense you have a few different creative teams pushing this stuff.

    My understanding of Alexa is the thing doesn’t support a business of its own so it’s beholden to showing value to the enterprise through soft or derivative metrics like engagement or LTV. I believe that when a venture doesn’t stand on its o

    There’s a lot of jargon in this, is there a lay person explanation of what problem this solves?
