Time to F*$k the internet. The whole concept of anonymous IP addresses was broken but worked for a long time. Now it is just stupid. Just like domain names. (Are more names used by squatters than real?). And email as identity? Time to engin

What I am proposing is that community email servers can talk to each other. I have email servers setup - all the hoops - for my community. I want others to set up community servers and be able to interoperate. My server can send and receive

Email has been turned into a by-the-corporation, for-the-corporation service. Corporations need DMARC so they can control email and the ability to spam. The spam I cannot block is spam from Google. If you decide to think about this, you wil

Do not bother with the youtube video.The essential ideas is that Putin could scare European Countries into surrendering Ukraine. This video legitimizes that scare tactic. Nor does it deal with the underlying issue, which is that like Hitler

Hunting good bugs is something every good software developer should experience. A good interview question is "tell me your favorite bug". Bugs are about reasoning, not intelligence. And I will take someone who can tell me what is

Interestingly, as a result of this discussion, I have a much better understanding of the whole artificial intelligence issue. This: There is a strong distinction line the ability to think (intelligence) and the ability to reason. (just ask

What I find interesting is the concept of dead food versus live food. This is just something I wonder about. For example a dead apple is one that was picked a year ago, sold today, kept in storage until now. Long shelf life - is the crucial

Here is the fundamental issue. We use the word "intelligence" for different things. Can you follow a recipe for making sour dough bread? Pretty easy. Can you make sour dough bread? Not so easy. Does following a recipe require &quo

Interesting point. I wonder if "easier for them to read" is too simple. I took "read" as in "read words" or "read a book". But "reading" a program is not I think the same as reading words. R

There is, and should be, a red flag for these situations. No make that RED flag. If you go into an interview that leaves you feeling the least bit helpless or at someone's mercy then run screaming. Not politely, not quietly. Just say t

I'm not sure it is React I like. I like JSX. Here is a fun thing. Write a bunch of JSON. A lot. Now write a lot of JSX. Then convert the JSON to JSX. Then convert the JSX to JSON. I was surprised by how much easier it was for me to rea

We have an economy like this: producer => provider => consumer. What happens when providers are the gateway for the providers and consumers? When the providers own the market place for both producers and consumers? 1. A producer grows

@halapro, thanks for your reply. No, marketing is the last thing I would do, but I understand how these days you might think that. I have had many experiences that dramatically change how I see the world. Maybe running a marathon is easier

This is great! As a kid I used to love HO scale model trains. There is an old movie of me on my birthday looking at my train set with eyes as big as plates. Fast forward, and I love networking and programming. I recognized that networking i

You put this really well. I have been considering that communities are based on mutual benefit. But I had not considered "mutual help". It makes me think of how people who have been in combat talk about the incredible bonds that a

Absolutely true! Perhaps the thing I was trying to say is do not travel or live your life in a bubble. Do not be a tourist in life, get in there. Be safe, but take survivable risk. And yes be honest. I would remove this line from the post,

Hiring is now by filter. Corporations do not try to hire good people, they just avoid hiring questionable people. In other words they are looking for the lowest common denominator. If you do not think this is true, then ask yourself whether

This measures fatherhood in terms of time spent with children. I question whether that metric is of any value what so ever. Is a farmer a better farmer because he/she spends hours in the field? Or is the correct measure of a farmer the

Meta said the contracting "did not meet (meta's) standards". I am sure that is true. meta's "standard" is not to reveal the illegal, immoral, unethical things meta does. No matter what the harm. Maybe a company

You are not helpless in these situations. You have a legal right to take action, appearing pro se, so it cost you almost nothing. Our legal system has degenerated into a medieval class system of trial by combat. Corporations can sue you, sm

I believe at one point you could run ClojureScript without Java, but either I was wrong or that version is no longer available. As far as I can tell both Clojure and ClojureScript require Java as of now. I was hoping that at some point one

The moral of this story is: it is human nature that when we have something, we do not want to lose it. This is an entirely different paradigm between what we do when we do not have something. It explains why the wealthy are so toxic. Their
