The lesson I'm taking from this is that companies are good at building a public commons, but absolutely terrible stewards of it over the long run. It sort of makes sense, if a local government, or a university wants to build a physical

I think it's worse than that, it's a bubble. There I've said it. So much money is being poured into AI right now, and things are changing so fast, and products are being deployed, then matched, then overrun weekly, all with n

Plex can be amazing, but the core user community has absolutely no idea what the heck the Plex devs are doing these days. I've almost never seen such a disconnect between product development and key user community. /r/plex is

I remember the days of incremental PC upgrades being quite commonplace (the 286/386/486/Pentium era). It was sort of a golden time where a relatively poor kid (me) could save his pennies up to buy a small upgrade and keep a s

There's a funny concept I've come to appreciate called "cultural inventory" which includes all of the things associated with a culture, which includes its language. I think it's interesting that among the major mode

Descriptivism vs prescriptivism are the two extremes of modern English linguistics. I've found most prescriptivists cite style guides that were written in a time and location when the dialects involved weren't as far from one anot

Man....I remember when reddit was fun. A while ago, I was moderator for a small community of subreddits and decided that the leadership shenanigans had gotten to me, so I left all those subs behind and just became a lurker. Nothing reddit l

There are quite a few comments here about "you need money to raise kids". There are similar statements made about housing size, cost, etc. and those end up on "but you don't need 8,000 sq ft to live!" These are,

One interesting thing I think I've noticed is that public buses in general in the U.S. kind of suck compared to elsewhere. The reason why I think I've hit on is that they kind of don't have a place to go, and so most bus ro

You are absolutely correct in the history to my recollection. But I'd challenge that it was a good idea as having multiple product lines better creates opportunities for new and unique products in different spaces. Optane is an example

Intel and Google share surprisingly similar problems: an almost pathological inability to grow lines of business with new products because they kill them off too early. In Intel's case, it's even worse, they kill them off right be
