This isn’t complicated. People want self determination. To live their lives as they see fit. Work, inherently, requires people to give that up. If we had a utopian society where work was optional, how many would do their current jobs volunt

This is because software engineers never actually use devices that have parental controls enabled. Most parents either don’t enable the controls, or never use devices while those controls are active. It’s a user experience that is not teste

I don't know about you, but I know myself. No knowledge I have to spread is something people need to see. I am not the arbiter of what knowledge is good . I'm not some kind of genius. Everything I know, I have learned from othe

If you think non-payout video game gambling isn't used for money laundering, wait until you hear about Counter-Strike skins.

I don't. I just create and publish. It doesn't matter what format, audio, video, coding, or writing, I just publish and share freely. If people share it widely of their own volition, that's fine. If they don't, that&#x27

When someone wants to setup a casino that awards players with real money for winning, it's heavily regulated. Sure, they're allowed to set extremely favorable odds for the house, so it's still a scam. But they actually have t

People get so mad about this. Who cares if they offer an 8GB model? If that’s not enough for you, don’t buy it. They claim on their site in the section “How much memory is right for you?” >>> 8GB: Great for browsing online, streami

The thing that I hate most about this rule, as a developer, is that employers keep trying to get me to track all my hours of work. They do this to figure out what portion of my wages they can claim as capitalized expenses. That would make s

If you're not watching Sakurai's YouTube channel, you're missing out. We need more top tier creative people producing behind the scenes stuff like this. It's better than most game development books you can buy, and it&#x

Tickets for events necessarily have a limited supply. If demand exceeds supply, price goes up. The box offices keep the face value prices of the tickets lower than what the market will bear. Therefore, someone will always step in to arbitra

Making and sharing work without profit motive still exists. You just can’t find it with Google.

Yes. That is the exact computer I use for work. The only issue is that I have to sometimes fiddle about with some Docker images that don’t like ARM. Rosetta takes care of most of them, but there’s a few that are bothersome. Other than that,

One other solution nobody has suggested. Hire lots and lots of staff, and work in shifts. Have enough people on each shift that even when people use PTO or fall ill, someone is always working. Nobody ever has to be on call. Instead everyone

One set of facts, climate science, tell us the reality of what's happening to our environment. But another set of facts, communications and psychology, tell us what messaging will get people to put forth the greatest effort at combatin

The real question to be asking is, why don’t you see more ads for big time things? The most effective advertising is for cars, beverages, etc. Are you seeing those ads on YouTube? The ads you see tell you a lot about the effectiveness of th

There's a huge problem in the US where custodianship is used to take advantage of senior citizens. People who can take care of themselves are often trapped, abused, and outright stolen from using that system. However, this is the kind

I was at a company that got bought. Shortly thereafter they started laying people off. For some reason I wasn't. I was one of the last ones there, commuting to a mostly empty office not doing much. Obviously by that point I was already

The one thing we've learned from these leaks of Microsoft documents is that the XBox people have a shockingly wrong understanding of their own industry. I guess that explains their lack of success, at least relative to the competition.

The real question is, why are these content farm sites indexed at all? They are spam, and should be blocked, just like the way GMail blocks spam. They should never appear in any search result for anything ever, let alone be ranked first! If

Taking a job is fundamentally a sale. I’m selling my labor to the employer. I want to exchange as little of my labor as possible for as much compensation as possible. Right now I’m working 4 days (32 hours) a week, entirely remotely, for en
