Marketing is hard. I think the biggest argument I've seen between sales people is "Do you sell something that will increase the customer's revenue or reduce their costs?" For a well established business saving $1 in cost

I am not one to complain about moderation decisions but I wish I could revive laruss5's comment from the [dead] status. I mean, he's right. Back in the mid 2010's my biz dev guy and I practically lived inside LinkedIn, it w

I dunno, whether or not it is true, my first impression of your first question is "this is a phony question asked by somebody who is selling the answer."

Funny I've been obsessed with carrying systems since last December when I started going out-as-a-fox to do photography which means carrying a lot of photography gear, therian gear, costume changes, gear to hold gear, etc. I used to be

That's not what happened though. I mean, Microsoft wanted to take over the world with Windows in the 1990s but today with Azure they are happy to sell you an instance with Windows or an instance with whatever Linux you like. It'

My son goes to small Burning Man events in New York and has a great time, these are really affordable in terms of admission, travel, etc. I've met the campers on the last day when my son was packing up and it seemed like a great scen

It amazes me how difficult it is to keep computer museums alive. Like Boston used to have a great computer museum in the 1980s back when Boston had a computer industry. I guess though it is hard to keep a PDP-10 alive today and it's n

Some of that is "the way Claude talks" some of it is "the way it talks with you" and some is "the way you feel about it" I am often annoyed at sycophancy even when it doesn't contain a concealed barb. Wha

I hate to be defending Omarchy but I think for the modern desktop OS like Linux or Windows or Mac OS, "root" is not what it used to be. Like if I have something on my dev machines which is important from an enterprise perspective

Personally I think many of the desktop file formats of the 1990s were systematic, disciplined and well designed. Feel free to differ but I'll say PDF (object graph with containers that can hold more nodes) and Microsoft Office (object

I drifted away slowly. I grew up in New Hampshire where it is almost as much as a religion as it in Massachusetts. We had one in Ithaca for a short time when I was in grad school which didn't last very long, I remember sitting there w

I think the Unabomber must be the index case for this sort of thing, a loner who did resort to terrorism, but the ideology in his manifesto was not particularly unusual, like a lot of people believe similar things but never blow anybody u

I also have the assumption that apps are shoddily coded. Whenever I go to the App Store I am looking for a specific app because my assumption is that a random app I find is going to be useless and this goes 10x if the app is promoted wit

I dunno. It's so hard to get a plain ordinary brewed coffee at Dunkin these days, the kind of coffee I used to get there back in the 1980s. On the app I could actually pick one out, in person I'm likely to have a teenager give

I love it how a normal social network makes a "ding" sound when somebody likes your post but LinkedIn gives you a "ding" for just posting anything at all! Overall it is a place that sends the message that "standard

Notably a lot of those companies went down, a lot of investors lost money, but the internet and e-commerce proved to be just as big as people expected back then, maybe even bigger.

The economic value may be real but the profits may not be. One thing that's clear is that there is no leading vendor in this space and there may never be one. To some extent premium models can charge a premium price but it's goin

Auto theft was perceived as a crisis in the 1970s so cars added features like locking steering columns and immobilizers. I'd say by 1990 I had no idea how to steal a contemporary car [1] although I had a friend who owned a 1970s &quot
