Snark aside, it depends. Corporations are so used to applying arbitrary values to ephemeral things on their balance sheets that I think such a mentality seeps over into highly skilled employees in some cases. In other cases, the business&#x

I don't see why you think people should respond in an amicable tone to an employee of a corporation blatantly attempting to seize ownership of assets which currently do not belong to them.

I think you overestimate the number of people who want to so lock themselves into a particular provider that they would use that provider's auth systems. There are lots of different use cases for lots of different things. Since Cloudf

Does no one else see these things as flailing attempts to maintain their app store revenue? They will throw the end-users (not actual end users but businesses who pay for phone app development) to the wolves in terms of forcing them to rewr

Congrats on finishing grad school. I don't doubt that there are exceptions to every rule, which is why I qualified the above in terms of undergrad programs, which I've seen first hand to be a rather complete waste of time. Even if

The other humanities courses give you a glimpse of what you don't know. It's a bit of a Dunning-Krugger scenario. You can't know what you've never heard of, and can't begin to self-teach yourself a thing if you don

Glad the author gave a shout-out to the positive experience that is an undergraduate degree in the humanities (I did that myself), but I would add a word of caution along with his others: Literature departments are maintaining themselves on

Tesla sells government credits. Cars and solar panels are ancillary to that. The problem is that government issued credits like those can be sold . The Reagan administration cursed us with Elon Musk, and that simple fix (making governmen

None of this addresses the ever-increasing and mostly-pointless power consumption aspects. And sorry if I don't trust the self-described "trust-less" money developers to get batching right on the first try. The only reason t

Everything is framed as the ultimate crypto use case, because crypto doesn't have a use case. No one needs money capped at 8 transactions per second world-wide, which costs ever-increasing amounts of electricity to trade. All of these
