I think they should be disrupted with a decentralized solution where people buy and produce locally. None of this garbage sold en masse

I definitely agree that the pop ups work, but consider plastic—it works really well also. The problem is that once everything is package in plastic now the streets are littered with it. Every page we visit has the same things to generate re

Yeah those foresee pop ups can go suck it. I mean what are people thinking? It’s stupid really. But then again, that’s what people do: in the pursuit for money they shit chemicals in rivers and don’t clean up their garbage. Or they toss gar

Absolutely, but when the process itself doesn’t work, then what? Gotta take a different approach and apply pressure somehow.

Im sure the lawyers thought of that angle, but the mining company currently doesn’t do anything to effect change so they probably won’t unless their customers (tech companies) demand a change. It really is unfortunate. The mining company sh

Look at what China is doing with peoples DNA—it’s creepy to imagine what the possible outcomes will be with machine learning etc. Meanwhile I submitted my DNA to ancestry and learned interesting things about my family. Anything may be used

Mother Earth has a magical technical solution. It’s called a “hard reset” so hopefully we can come up with something better.

Have you thought of potential ways to use AI to help some problem domain you’re interested in? Like maths and other sciences it’s important to have an interesting application that you can get behind. It’s just a tool after all.

Smart people gravitate to AI like a magnet. Or completely tangential things like starting a bakery, restaurant, etc. We’re all going to be left in a Wall-E universe though unless they help fight climate change.

Honestly who even needs a 1.4nm? Hell, who needs a damned 10nm? Most people could get by on yester-decade’s CPUs no problem. We need something new, not the same old “add more cameras to the phone” kind of innovations. It’s the engineers tha

In my opinion there’s simply too many dependencies to begin with. Some of the simplest things put into a GitHub repository to be “shared” with the world is great—as a gist file. Software needs to be a little more self-contained. Software re

Hmm. In my experience I like the Windows 10 experience. I set up my commonly used applications in the customizable tiles otherwise just tap the windows key and start typing the app name, the indexer finds it in the first few letters.

Another possibility to take a writing class at a local community college. A lot of it is common writing strategies like how to organize thoughts (spatially, conceptually, temporally, etc). And as others say, practice. The classroom is nice

I think the move to more specific domains is better and .org should be a relic of the past. For instance, consider: people.org people.health people.art The last two actually imply what they are about, but the .org could be anything. Trust a

Not related to the monopoly stuff but I like HP calculators best! For college I used an HP 35S—it’s a programmable scientific calculator and fun to program because it uses RPN stacks for calculations and storing results.

Honestly a lot of the problem is: people aren’t studying systems engineering OR security. Look at all the “learn to code in 21 days” BS and all the code academies. There’s so much emphasis on abstracting away the systems with cloud-this and

AMD bringing the competition forces Intel to up their game and bolster R&D—they may come with some beast chips as a result. Such is the way things work, scales tip one way then the next. What about NVIDIA?? Also isn’t Amazon working on

Not sure this has much significance, but as a consumer I usually skip online ads or tune them out mentally as they are so pervasive it’s a nuisance. T.V ads work on me to an extent if I were watching live T.V. but I try again to avoid them

I’m curious why they working so much? Is it because there isn’t much of a talent pool for the jobs? Also curious, what if they weren’t paid salary but paid hourly in this study? Would they be okay with more time off and less money? Digital

How do you know what they are going to do with Fitbit? Companies attacking others with rhetoric is no different than standard “vote for my comprehensive plan, not theirs” politics. Truthfully, with AI chips in fitbits who knows what they’ll
