So this has been going on for some time, I see. It just seemed like a coincidence that he was railing on it for an hour and then I see this today. His shows get like 5 million views, so it seems probable he could steer a conversation.

I have to know if this story is gaining traction because of the Joe Rogan podcast. Did you see his hour long rant on abandoning Apple because of this yesterday? Or is everyone simultaneously reaching this same conclusion? He was very much a

I have to agree. I figured it's because every day I become an even grouchier, old man, but I'm getting sick of people ruining my childhood memories with half-baked money grabs that can't even be bothered to try and live up to

I remember having to sit through Little House on the Prairie because my mom loved that show. There wasn't anything a penny couldn't buy apparently.

This issue is important, but it seems trivial compared to the complete lack of ISP competition in my opinion. To me it feels like a bunch of businesses want me to be upset about this, but it doesn't effect me as much as the Spectrum&#x

It definitely doesn't hurt their image, but it also informs the public about an issue they care about. There is only so much they can do, especially because of child privacy laws. But it's getting the word out about regulation the

That's pretty much what I was wanting to know. I figure since most web apps aren't doing a whole lot, there wouldn't be call for it for awhile. But once word finally gets around to the followers, there might be a bunch of nee

It's the protection plans from Walmart, the coverages when you buy a car, the countless times big purchases become gigantic impulse buys because you're made to feel you can't afford not to roll the dice. It's not all ins

I really didn't want to delve into this on here, but I suppose I should have assumed that a lot of people out there work for insurance companies. So here it goes... It was a relatively small dental insurance company that had a reputati

I left a good job with an insurance company, not in protest really, but just because I hated the idea of being a part of an industry I despise so much. Unfortunately my departure didn't shake the foundation of their business, but I

Mind Hunter was the last new show that I kind of liked, and I do think it's worth watching. But I also think the bar is really set low for these shows. Most of them feel like good movies that are stretched out into a series of shows. T

I guess I just hope both Netflix and Hollywood step up their game, I'm pretty bored with both of them. I don't really care about super heroes, or watch kids dancing, or another stupid Adam Sandler movie. But I burn through the han

Oh man, that hurts to read. That's some wishful thinking there. I'm currently helping a division of the Air Force replace a legacy flash application that they've spent years trying to keep going.

It seems comical to me that tech becomes a Congressional issue once the average age of it's users are that of members of Congress.

Do they need each other because they hope to utilize them for re-elections, or is it simply because they have so much money and Congress wants some too?

I like hearing actual proposals for how to "do something about Facebook" as opposed to all this hand-wringing. I guess I'm just expecting everyone to get upset and then go back to business as usual.

I do believe these skills can be learned, but it's the enjoyment I derive from these things that I believe is the difference between some people and I. When I was in junior high I would do various logic problems for fun. I asked for no
