I have noticed in just the past two weeks or so, a lot of the naysayers have changed their tunes. I expect over the next 2 months there will be another sea change as the network effect and new frameworks kick in.

I'd say that it's probably not a play against open source, but more trying to remove/change the bottlenecks in the current chip production cycle. Nvidia likely doesn't care who wins, they just want to sell their chips.

I'd just love to see them keep this same energy when dealing with the actual police and end qualified immunity. They won't. But it would be the right thing to do.

If there is anything that can actually get a tech worker unionization effort going, it's going to be the back and forth on these RTO policies. Folks have tried in the past around non-competes, or equity tomfoolery, but this is people&

It's simple. All the "Big Brains" missed the real risks of Web 1.0/Web 2.0, focusing only on the positives in a time of hope and economic growth. Now, we have an internet that focuses on how everything is terrible, and

Honestly, as someone who does this, Bard seems to be much better at writing natural emails. It's just easier to dump some thoughts in to bard and ask it to redraft, then fluff it a little to sound like me.

If you have a disease that causes organ damage, it's not that ridiculous. Look at the referenced studies. Multiple studies by different organizations performed 6-12 months out showing persistent fatigue, body aches, headaches, cogniti

This is my knee jerk reaction, but then I ask myself if I really want Trump (or Pelosi depending on your political persuasion) deciding how my search engine and social networks work. Feeling a big "NOPE" on that one. Customers nee

Check any of the studies from the AHA, AMA, Beckers, or any of the financial institutions/investment firms reporting on the healthcare sector. It's ugly out there. Beckers tracked 20+ health care orgs that went bankrupt in 2018,

The truth is that in "gig" based economies guilds and unions are essential(portability of seniority, benefits, etc). If done right it benefits both the employer and the low and high end of workers. Also, the truth is that in tec
