Very well put. The same management philosophy happened to Boeing, and I think more quietly to many companies thought too big to fail in the last 50 years.

IBM is going to fade away. They're divesting lower performing (but not money losing) ventures in order to not hide the performance of their higher performing pieces. This is so they can show the unsustainable growth that stock holders

Yep, probably wrong. There's a truism in architecture: "Buildings are built for people." Not to be works of art or cultural enhancements, but to serve a need. I think it applies here, too. A home is one of the most person

It's neither rare or difficult, exactly. The problem is how you look for the job. Most corporations in the US that are for profit aren't about doing good, they're about making money, and publicly held corporations are even l

Nice. Best of luck in your future endeavors. Me, I'm about to turn 50, and I don't see being able to retire until... well, ever at this point. I might change careers some time, but I doubt I'll entirely give up on software.

Unfortunately this is par for the course in anything the US Government does at the moment. The UK government is basically a puppet state of the US, although they still have the pretense of independence, and they are at least paying lip serv

There really isn't anything. For at least a couple of years, Fusion 360 has been available for "free" (users had only community support, had to write their own POSTs for cam, etc) so as far as I know no one has been developi

Some people like unions, I think because they're lucky enough to have had a good experience, or to be part of a union that was not decayed by age or special interests. Unions should not be needed... the governments who represent the pe

This has happened since the dawn of the computer age, and probably before. Any technology too complex for the managers who purchase for it to understand fully can be sold and oversold by marketing people as "the next big thing". M

Building a city that way probably isn't the way of the future. Do a google for the concept of "arcologies".

It would be educational. I'd say the most interesting way to approach this at the moment would be to use RasPi 4s and link them via the PCI express bus. None of this stuff is more than educational, though. I admire this build because

No one likes being poor, and most people learn to live as well as they can with the income they have. Our society encourages this because it makes workers happy with less pay. Banks and businesses prefer consumers this way, and any attempt

In short: We failed because our country wasn't capable of controlling the virus. We're just not good enough at being a nation right now. A corrupt system that's been in decline for years has produced an artifact that makes

Certain caves were used as speakeasies in the 1920s, too. Mobsters who had an "agreement" with the Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul to not cause trouble in exchange for not being arrested/pursued up here could spend time

This may work.... for some people. Recognize that procrastination based on avoidance of difficult emotions is likely as unique as each individual's emotions. I'm glad you found a solution for yourself, but please do remember how u

Because then it wouldn't be "cool". So many of the projects I see mentioned here are neat hacks, but that's really about it. People writing a complete operating system for an 8 bit micro made of discrete chips? That&#x2

Right. The silver lining of having the administration we have at present is that they're so inept at being corrupt. I speculate that previous administrations have been just as corrupt, but much better at hiding it.

Why do you want to get into open source? Is it because you support the philosophy of open source? Is it because you don't like your present job and want to work at a better one, and it seems like open source work would be more pleasa

Are you surprised they didn't respond? Your solution to this problem seems to be focused on what other people can do to make things easier for you and others like you, but that's not how humanity works. You're ignoring that y
