Agreed, on both accounts. I'd like to interject that 15-10 years ago, Apple was stellar at this, I only noticed their general UX/UI out-of-this-world-excellence slipping down (slightly, still among the best-in-class, just not th

Just a few remarks, notwithstanding your/my opinions. Physics has not "one of the better reproducibility rates" but 100%; per the Scientific Method any valid theory must: - be reproducible (verifiable empirically) - have pr

Very interesting comment. It took me time to unwrap it all, there are lots of great insights. About "incentives", you might wanna check my other reply to IAmEveryone in this thread[1]. Basically the idea is that we probably should

Great idea, groups: yes, totally. Easier said than done but that's definitely a great boulevard. You touch a critical point too. I've pondered the matter of "how to make the other side(s) do what you want?" in many field

That is exactly my view too. You win by being better than whatever else exists at the time.

I love it, it seems to work quite well!

Yes, social cycles are definitely a thing empirically, historically. The learning curve over humanity's civilization is tedious, hard, but we're making progress overall. We have reached a situation where some actors, being super-m

It's not entirely bad, not everywhere —some countries are quite advanced in that regard, notably in Europe. However I'm evoking a deeper system; i.e. creating the "software information system of states", automating the h

And a subtle but massive change is the removal of imposed formats i.e. artificial time boundaries, as if there were only a few possible lengths for any piece of content — 5 min, 22 min, 42 min, because commercials. Online audiovisual conten

Oh, my. IBM is way lower than I thought. Thank you for setting my perception straight; I amended GP accordingly. I would almost qualify that as intellectual self-subjection (and perhaps ethical, in the way of science). Aiming so low that it

Edit: I am definitely wrong about my interpretation (see child post by DashAnimal) ____ Original comment for reference: I really don't think IBM implied the social (and definitely modern, circumstancial) figurative meaning of suprema

Ha, you made me curious. Do you think they would actually reply to emails?! — though it would probably be faster to Google for a good manual or teacher's blog. Btw more than "knowing", it's the official institution that

Oh indeed! Thanks for the precision, well worth noting. The particular arrangement of The Fourth Turning is adamantly specific though (and quite famous in sociological circles, iirc it's where our modern concepts of "millenials&

He was probably drawing from the Strauss-Howe generational theory[1], which is more than 20 years old now. He (or you) should have credited the original thinkers for these ideas. Their 1997 book "The Fourth Turning" is considered

Not exactly. In French, adjectives can both precede or follow the noun. It's stylistic more than grammatical in many cases, and depends on how the sentence is constructed. Nuances (e.g. proper versus figurative meaning) can be elegan

That's a very, VERY good start. I'm stealing it. ;-) Y'all should do the same when explaining what this crypto- thing is — and stay away from even mentioning 'coins', stay on "BlockChain" as it is the ena

Spoken like a true Chief Officer. Pushing back on OpEx in favor of CapEx might be seen as a more long-term strategy too. Basically rent vs purchase, even for deprecating assets like infosys, as I think the current DevOps trend (scaling in p

Oh? This sounds awesome! I'm really not a phone person, barely use it —PC all the way!— so I'm pretty sure I'll be just fine with a dual boot. My intent with Sailfish is to replace the laptop actually, for all those times w

That is a very good idea, thanks so much for suggesting it! I'll definitely do that. Funny to think I might have years worth of posts ready that way.

You absolutely can! Credit all you want, I'm fine either way (although validation of ideas through HN could give more weight to your post indeed). As for the blog, I'd rather do it once and for all (I have a cleaner / LTS min

Haha. Dunno if I should smile or cry. ;) Very interesting remark on the hiring/firing process, I do concur. It's an approach worth keeping in mind; it may one day fit in a much more dynamic labor legal framework provided both side

Thanks a lot for the feedback, I'll definitely keep it in mind! My idea and recommendation, taking a cue from Noah Chelliah (link above), is basically to have two smartphones — 1 dedicated to SailfishOS, and 1 "fallback" on A

SailfishOS comes to mind. But it's not on par with Android (yet, or ever), however it's Linux, the real thing. I learned about it in the AskNoahShow ep.144 titled "SailfishOS" [1], you might wanna check it out. It runs n

I hear more and more cases of businesses moving parts off of the cloud, back on-premises. I think, in a wider perspective, it's going to play back and forth. The 2010's were 'forth' towards the cloud, the 2020's mig
