I have bought multiple ereaders over the years and i always go back to my phone. The main reason is convenience. I always have my phone with me and usually don't have room or forget the ereader.

"Just pressing pause on this would leave the world more vulnerable to Russian cyber ops and give breathing space to criminal gangs." Do you really believe they are going to tell the world that they are 'pressing pause' o

If he wins NY, I'm interested to see how fast NY turns into Detroit. It will be a great time to swoop in and buy up the abandoned/cheap housing that will be the result. I saw people interviewed on the street on why they will vote

Spray and pray is why it takes everyone longer to get hired. Companies have to sift through thousands of resumes of people that aren't qualified and shouldn't have applied in the first place. Common advice on Reddit is also to lie

"punish your enemies, and then they can no longer be trusted when they say negative things about you." This was done to the Republicans for 4 years. I suppose he's just using the same strategy? NPR wouldn't report on thi

It has little to do with religion. There are lots of examples of MAID being pushed upon people that do have other options and made to feel like it's the only one. It's also a way for collapsing government-run healthcare to save mo

I think I answer my phone once/month, if that. All of my close friends message me through other means. Work is always Teams calls or Slack messages.

Why should we trust someone that regularly worked with dictators across the world and allowed them to spy on, imprison, and most likely murder their own citizens? The Biden Administration was also working with Twitter to censor US citizens.

I contacted the owner of the house I found unlocked and there was no response, so I proceeded to let myself in anyway. These writeups are Jr. level hacks (I looked through them all). Aside from making the company look bad, you don't re

I think the best skill is protection from executives. My best manager would tell the executives 'no' for ridiculous requests like cutting deadlines last minute or feature requests that didn't make sense. He also talked me up

"The rest of the world just shakes its head at the US healthcare system." Perhaps on the cost, but the US has the best doctors in the world. If I need major surgery, I know I can get it in a reasonable amount of time. In many othe

This was always the endgame. At some point, more advanced models will be licensed to the military with the public ones being limited.
