windows 95 looked the way it did, not because the people making it thought it was the optimal look, but due to hardware limitations. A designer in 1995 seeing you waste a modern 4k LCD monitor’s potential to display blurry low res 256 color

Most likely reason for such fall from grace in update speeds? They lost the savant senior dev (or two) keeping their project together.

any such (public) company has fallen into the ”printing money from past heroic projects by former employees” phase and is slowly dying out

The tech sector prints money. Large companies can leech off past heroics built by former employees for decades, even if the current employees are incompetent. A zombie company if you will.

They can just mess with the Tiktok algorithm. i’m 100% sure there is lots of content that will increase birth rate.

Yes, it’s called a filter bubble. Covid was extremely easy to avoid pre-Omicron even without vaccines if you don’t go to nightclubs and don’t work in an office and have no kids.

Is there a term for this, where a person discovers something extremely interesting, but doesn’t know the proper channels to make the knowledge public? In this case, releasing the info on a random spammy looking WP blog.

You have to look at it from the company’s point of view. As the accounts can be created for free, every day millions of grifters are pulling shady shit. Using stolen CCs to purchase, trying to scam the support team, refund scams, identity t

The email text to me looks like it was written by some 15-year-old zoomer kid with no clue what they’re really doing.

Wolt was a show of Northern European style software/business development, and it’s why Doordash acquired them. Now that US big tech has their dirty fingers all over Wolt, I’ll guess all that will be gone in 3 years as the bullshit star

Remote work. Hundreds of millions of well-off middle class people gained 2 hours of extra time and energy per day from not having to commute. Thats equivalent to a population boom.

No, I don’t. But just like I can trust the things I buy from the grocery stone to not poison me or to have stones embedded inside, I trust medical products taken by millions or even billions of people

GMO’s is emotional, largely based on the public image around the word ”mutant” meaning a hulk like green person that was irradiated by a James Bond villain etc

No they won’t. conspiracy theories are based on instincts and emotions not any science or rationality. pills are basically just food(=good) to the subconscious lizard brain, zero negative connotations from evolution, zero conspiracy theorie

The same antivaxxers who ”refuse to take experiemental drugs from big pharma Pfizer” will gobble this pill down no questions asked. Which just proves, the anti-vaxxer moment is based on the primitive instinct of ”pain and needles=bad” Being

Because the only real way you can say if someone is fit for a job, is to work alongside them for about 1-6 months. The interview system is just there to avoid as many mishires and time wasting as possible

This. and also, they’ve run out of countries to grow users from. All the 3rd world countries now have internet and smartphones, there is no billions of unconnected people remaining who Facebook can give free internet access to. The only way

Sweden sacrificed ~20k elderly people to covid for no actual gain. Very questionable for a society that claims to be a "humanitarian superpower" I'd say it demonstrates really well the way the country is heading: more inequal

Umm, no. did you read the article? The early covid supply chain issues were ages ago, the effects of those were gone by last summer. The current supply chain issues are mainly due to China’s zero-covid policy and a typhoon closing down port
