I thought of that movie almost immediately as well. Seems like we're right about there, but obviously a little further away from the deeper conversations. Or maybe you could have those sorts of conversations too. This is a kind of horr

They are personifying the agent, that is all. Also a fairly common way to fill the air as your formulate a real question.

I would think the late game would be getting bought out by AWS/G Cloud/Azure.

I'm also assuming OP didn't really intend to pay if they're coming to a tool that they'll use for 5 minutes. They don't see the value in paying, I'm just reading between the lines there. Maybe its still better

Your example just demonstrates the usefulness of a time-based trial. You personally might not come back but the next customer might. I know everyone complains about Adobe's switch to subscription, but it would fit the model you'd

Yea I can see this in the article as well. And anyone who has read the books can probably see this wasn't the authors real interest. I can see where someone with their pulse on international politics might read into Trisolaris vs Earth

The books are very imaginative. Not always a fan of the prose, and the character development is lacking, but I think this is a great new take on the alien invasion genre that tries to put all of the current theories about extraterrestrials

Reminded me of Grimrock too, but if you also like this I'd recommend a game called Barony. Great multiplayer RPG romp that has a lot of depth and secrets to discover. Also procedurally generated.

Behavior change on this is going to be such a slog. Made worse by the "told-ya-so"s who generally weren't very helpful to begin with. Might be better to make specialized plastic landfills just to keep the current behaviors ac

Yea for most of us (I hope), sorting is like a non-thought at this point. When I have an aluminum can and I can't find a recycle bin I have a mini panic about it. There's not much of a time waste on the consumer side, its not like

Looking at the government as monolithic and omniscient, sure. But its the same as any organization: made up of tons of people who don't all know everything, who disagree with each other about things, while generally trying to do the ri

That came to mind reading it too. I'm sympathetic that not all the recycling is making it into reused materials, but I do think the behavior change in people was a success on the whole. Eco-friendly materials continue to be a focal poi

This post is an introduction to the idea and then as a Part 2 for actions to take. For anyone who hasn't continued into Part 2, it goes into first steps on listening to different performers in your company and basically doing research

I went to WSU actually and I used to ride the Idaho-Washington bike trail all the time! Miss the scenery out there, its lovely. I've done a bit of overnight bike trips, one that was like 150 miles and on the coast, but never anything q

Again though, there are plenty of events that already do this and have people for handling logistics. And indeed people with temporary jobs involved.

Just being devil's advocate since I also don't necessarily agree that TSwift could build a venue in every market, but there are plenty of large-scale events that use open fields and tents and aren't going to cost billions to

Yes, I think they have leveraged their power to keep the situation in their favor and not let a competitor come up. I don't really see a reason we couldn't have 4-5 ticketmaster type companies that still do some of the BS stuff we

That's awesome. So I'm thinking I might want to do the Washington St leg of this some time, do you remember about how long that part took?

I still think its overly simplistic. One man's growth for growth sake is another man's innovation to gain some unrealized value. I'm not a huge fan of penny-pinching either, but there is good in finding alternative paths for

I'm tired of hearing this opinion because its overly simplistic. Anyone expressing this opinion likely would praise a company for growth through innovation. They don't hate growth, they hate companies who are scrounging for additi

The industry has shifted greatly for creatives. Musicians especially. In the 90s which was peak old industry music, the labels would take chances on various artists and those artists would have a shot at something big for little while. The

I remember when Google was waaay smaller the sorts of goodwill projects like Gmail were required. Engineers had to work on side projects in part of their paid time. I've worked at a couple of companies that supported a "10% time&q

I remember how Apple Watch wouldn't let you download podcasts or songs on Spotify. Apparently they changed that to allow some recently, but that change did get me to switch to the Apple Podcast app for awhile, which I feel like is infe

We're talking about Waffle House staff here so I'd be surprised if the turnover was low.

Still would take a lot of training to get right. Its not intuitive. And I can certainly find a lot of humor in how its implemented.

I can't help thinking its simultaneously ingenious and hilariously convoluted. Looks like it would be fast to setup, easy to read from the line cook area, and also simple to modify. I'm sure if I was doing the work I could learn t

I was feeling the same way, there is probably some camaraderie that develops in the waffle house staff just around this unique shared language.

Think this is catching on slowly, give it another 10 years or so we will probably have something like that everywhere. America is pretty good at adopting popular food vehicles.

Its not a regular thing to work on for the majority of people. What's the point of manning up for this particular DIY if the danger is high? Is it really that big of an ego hit to pay someone for a job once in awhile?
