In every conversation like this I always bring up Cathy O'Neil's excellent Weapons of Math Destruction ( https://www.bookdepository.com/Weapons-of-Math-Destruction-C... ). I think it's an ethical must read for

I can't agree here. Boards could have prepared (not spent) by splitting into preparation teams for all three eventualities, producing a plan for each scenario. In each case they could have gathered freely available resources (Youtube

For years, everyone I know has made fun of me for the extreme ergo choices I've made in my workspaces, based on my needs. I've had a standing desk for over a decade, and I never sit down - purely because that works for me. I kno

Yup, I feel your pain. One of my emails is <onechar>@<3chars>.com. This fails verification on so many websites it's just comical. I then figured on making a <6chars>@<3chars>.com. Turns out folks mostly valid

The problem I find with this entire segment of the industry - is that nothing seems to work as I grow and change. Everyone is actively trying to achieve vendor lock in. It's true for Evernote, OneNote, Notion - and all the other thing

Part of the issue is really economics. As things trend to widespread, the televisions don't compete on anything other than price. Ultimately, a panel is manufactured and they'll trend to more-or-less the same, within certain level

Treat work like work, and home like home. Don't allow them to bleed as a hard rule. Covey was right - get dressed for work, every single day. Have a work area, a work pattern and never do anything personal in that space. When I lived

This is a pretty good point - and thanks for the link to a great application. I guess I'll just try it out on my tablet, then give up and run a tablet. I just miss the instant and always on value of a calculator. Today I use a drop dow

This is a common misconception and lie. The National State Law was elevated to become one of Israel's Basic Laws. It explicitly declares that Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people, that we have the right to self-determination in

No worries, I wasn't offended! I just think it's insane that a group of people other than my own can even think to tell me what my ethnicity is. As an example, it would be utter hubris were I to say the same to Black Americans,

Have you thought about getting a job in a security company that does active software development (i.e not a pure hardware play)? Someone who wants to be an ML head with a security background would be an asset there. I can easily see compa

It's an interesting intellectual argument. Is might is right wrong? Does the ethical validity of it depends on culture? Are there cross species ethics and moral, or are they the product of culture? I'm neither abandoning, nor con

This is at best ingenious. For the most part (emphasis most) conflict hasn't been started by Israel. Genocide is literally not something of which it can be accused. Arab citizens of Israel have democratically elected representation

No idea. Why should I care what the US government thinks white equates to. Having zero "white", "caucasian", or similar ancestry other than Jewish and from Arab lands for hundreds of years makes me very non-white. But if
