That chance also increases with them being in politics. That chance also increases when they are part of a committee. That chance also increases when the ‘adversaries’ are tech-moguls trying to push for their version of utopia. Ultimately,

Heh, I'm pretty sure these people were gaslighted by 'external consultants'. Whenever someone internal would mention an obstacle in our way, instead of trying to understand and solve it, they'd go and pay a lot of money

I love technology as much as anyone, but at the end of the day we're humans, and experience in being a human comes with time. I think detracting from the wisdom of old men because they can't post memes on their smartphone is not t

You've spot on described a startup I worked for. It was a recruitment startup, so of course they decided to replace recruiters with "AI". We weren't allowed to call them recruiters anymore, but 'customer service&#x2

I build for myself a little frontend over Google Trends, that fetches news items, translates them for me and kinda gives me daily / weekly top news from around the world, also with the option of checking local stuff. It gives me a pret

A marketer friend recommended this guy, and I decided to give his book a read. The guy is Gary Vaynerchuk and the book is "Crushing It!: How Great Entrepreneurs Build Their Business and Influence-and How You Can, Too". It's b

As an IT OS Coach, it just irks me when people don't understand how to use their OS properly and blame the 'system'; people forget how the before-times were, when you had an OS thrown on your hands and had to waste precious t

Just this last week, I had three meetings with a state entity that had us be there. 2.5 hours there, 4 hour (mostly useless) meeting, 2.5 hours back. That was 9 hours of my life, not including the lack of will to do anything after that, for

Let me try to chip in with my own question. What if some dudes took something you had, gave it to GP and then pretended like it was never yours to begin with. Who in your view is the owner?

I've been doing this for awhile. Most importantly, I do this with my news. If there's a war in Europe, I don't even bother to check the BBC anymore, or German outlets. I try to grok Al Jazeera, India Times, Channel News Asia,

I was part of Techstars some years ago and had some chats lined up cloud architects from Azure, AWS and IBM. Azure and AWS guys were super nice, we talked architecture, cloud benefits, possible use cases, offering free credits etc. Then the

In my backwards East European country, most people outside of cities use cars for utility purposes. As such, they keep very old cars, and if they need to change, they buy some second-hand ones from Germany and so on. With the new environmen

This really depends on the road system, I am somewhat confident that I can get to the countryside on some alternative routes that I know from when I was younger, and it's perpendicular to the direction everyone would be fleeing (I assu

I'm from a region close to the conflict, that's been mentioned a few times in recent headlines. Before all this, I was sure I'd flee at the first sign of trouble; get my family and just move somewhere West. Now, as the confli

Rumors is how politics gets done in my backwards country. You start a rumor about the opposition, they start rumors about you. You start rumors about great projects, the opposition starts rumors about how bad it is. The opposition shits on

I used to be of this opinion until I asked myself whether I'm really that fluidly intelligent and able to approach things with better critical thinking, and am not a sitting duck for being easily manipulated by technology. Turns out, I

Anecdotal. My best friend, about 5 - 6 years ago was doing manual labor, hauling plastics around town basically. He had a break and found a tech support job. Progressed to level 1 then 2, then he started working (pre-COVID) as a sys admin.

I kinda like it how we do where I am working now, and we're doing highly exploratory work. We have an ongoing call throughout the day where people kinda join up, and a lot of impromptuu discussion is done in this way. It's not man
