Absolutely not, I can't believe you would take my healthy skepticism as a dismissal of technology. As I said, critical thinking is gone. I suggest nothing other than what I said - discussions around new technologies, particularly those

Agreed. Even solar + wind - when the buzz started it was all rainbows and butterflies because we found a silver bullet to energy! There is no such thing as free lunch. If you start absorbing massive amounts of solar, you will have some effe

You make a good point, but I think the parent point is true as well. You still have people actually producing work, unable to compete on these platforms where Amazon will literally make a copy of their product at a lower price. This is the

I whole-heartedly agree. They seem good for the right reasons. That said, I'm scared about the inevitable creep of capitalism. What happens when Gabe retires? Or some legal/financial event changes things? I have no reason to doubt

It's a lot like insurance - you might be fine right now, and you may be fine for your whole life, but what if you aren't? There are so many scenarios where you can fall out of favor and where collective bargaining is the only leve

I wouldn't recommend this. I bought into the 'Volta' ecosystem and the adapters started degrading within 6 months. I would only trust a product from a major electronics producer, not these random brands on Amazon. If none of

That's exactly so. Many of the groups know each other, have their private comm channels, and select insiders that release things out to the broader public. There's obviously drama around people leaking releases, stealing cracks, e

I worry about the same thing - cloud provider and especially specialty hosted solutions (Heroku) are getting more expensive as dependency on them grows and smaller shops basically have to use them to get off the ground. In the end what you

Pardon for reaching for personal traits, but it seems relevant in this case. You have a name of Hispanic origin. That gives me the impression that you are not the target audience of this article, or someone that would be likely to notice th

That sounds like a good thing. Artists rarely care about what critics say, and when they do it's seen as an obsession to get rid of. I would hope Kurosawa didn't waste time listening to critics and instead took feedback from those

There are nearly a dozen mission types that net you money and gear that you use to build your inventory + fleet. There are bounty systems that interact with your ability to pirate others and commit crime. There is mining, cave exploration t

Have you built anything comparable? It's in alpha, making performance/presentation comments seems really out of place. If you were well-informed on the project, you would know that they intentionally put performance optimizations

I have observed exactly what you're describing. Even as an introvert, I see the value in and seek out those experiences every once in a while. I imagine extroverts probably do so even more. My own mother is another example - she's

As a casual bystander, I don't understand why there isn't 100% transparency of a non-profit entirely funded by donations. I'm icked out by the repeat stories I keep reading about them, and if they're not willing to come

This is false. Germany is one of the few countries making real progress towards a commitment to clean energy by 2050. I think you're uninformed about the details and failing to grasp the plan beyond a couple of headlines you saw.

This level of reaction tells me more about you than the author. Referring to it as 'snobbery' shows that you interpret satire as a personal attack on someone, probably yourself. I clicked to their home page and immediately figured

That's just not reality. Many EMs are not necessarily proficient or even knowledgeable in the stack. It depends on the company. EM doesn't mean the same thing everywhere. Last week I applied to an EM role that was 100% people mana
