Medical reasons aside everything I've seen on them stepping away hints that they were unhappy with (although resigned to) the corporate behemoth that Google had become. It could no longer do things the way it did that made it so succes

Kinda of harkens back to that Mat Velloso quote: "Difference between machine learning and AI: If it is written in Python, it's probably machine learning; if it is written in PowerPoint, it's probably AI."[1] Beyond that

Even with FTL travel the heat death of the universe still closes the door on an "infinity" as far as things within it existing goes.

Haha, sorry friend, but still, memories of cranking up that 56k and logging on to Active Worlds night after night. Well, everything is illuminated I guess.

I remember when the WashPo was publishing all the articles about Amazon workers pulling 12 hour days and crying at their desks. All I could think of at the time was "wow, sounds like a mission oriented place, I would love to work there

This is very reminiscent of Active Worlds[1][2], right down to how you drop-in and interact with the world. Would have thought after 25-years we would have developed the value proposition better, and not the client. 1. https://ac

I lived in DC and NOVA for 8+ years (including at UDRs Shirlington property) and never felt I needed a broker when apartment hunting. Now that was about 5 years ago, so the market might have changed.

Couldn't agree more. On a more socio-economic note: I moved from DC to PHX 5 years ago thinking I'd gtfo after 3 months, because, you know, it's PHX. Despite my best efforts I really love it; you find so much more value in pl

The city of Copenhagen has a more comprehensive breakdown of the project.[1] I think it's interesting that they intend to build residential property to accommodate 35,000. The area around that island is very...heavy industry related. I

That's the thing MSFT is trying to solve for with things like Power Automate and Apps. Sure, getting an API schema and then writing a GET request in C#, Node, etc to get invoice data out of your financials system is out of band for a b

You're not cynical, that is their strategy. It's why most IT organizations label RPA as "anti-pattern" and want nothing to do with it. It's sold in a way that explicitly calls into question ITs own utility, if not o
