The kids who aren't falling behind but are bored often eventually fall behind, because they did not have enough opportunities to grow and explore. It's not only those who are failing that need help. (And I agree they shouldn&#

There is always a ton of work; off-the-shelf tools are rarely off the shelf and require set up, maintenance, etc. A lot of writing glue code to build dashboards and things. Nowadays, a lot of AI work to improve attorney and paralegal effici

I didn’t say you could do it working for Amazon. There are plenty of law firms, medical offices, etc., that need software and IT help and are happy to have it part-time or provide flexibility. Sure, it won’t be FAANG, but that wasn’t what w

There is a third option, which is to move to a place with a much lower cost of living. This isn’t always possible, due to family or job, but it’s not exactly uncommon either. Remote work, in particular, has helped with this. Work fewer ho

You’re talking about features. It didn’t have that many, sure. But the features it did have were extremely well polished. Part of the reason it took them forever to add copy/paste is because Android phones had 12 different ways to do

That’s true, but the article also explains it isn’t nefarious; she had a stalker (after past horrible trauma), and was terrified, so replaced the live audiences with extras. It just happened to work so well it caught on and became a mainsta

Actually, I’ve found people often do praise the Newton. They lament it as being ahead of its time, but in terms of feeling it actually did have the right vibe. The tech just wasn’t there yet at the time.
