The author should visit the trailer parks of central Florida. My grandparents sold a beautiful home in Wisconsin to move into a dilapidated retirement community run by a tyranical HOA. They are too proud to admit it, but it has financially

I'm convinced that the majority of Salesforce implementations are done so that C level execs aren't the odd one out that isn't using Salesforce during their next round of golf.

While working briefly for a telecom I was involved in a project that was installing point to point microwave transmitters in Africa instead of fiber optic cable because the locals kept cutting the cables hoping to steal the non-existent cop

"Move fast and break things" really means "Move fast and turn a profit". The pressure to show good returns to institutional investors is the cause of the drop in quality you are seeing. Just like everything else in the U

I stand by my belief that reddit is one of the worst sites on the net and far far worse than Facebook when it comes to reinforcing echo chamber mentalities. I stopped visiting the site after the pulse shooting in Orlando when moderators del

I live on a small island with poor cellular connection, so a phone number is pointless anyways. People explored the entire planet without phones, I can get by without WiFi for a few hours. When I visit more civilized societies where people

But does that mean they are not intelligent sentient beings? Dolphins do communicate with each other, they use vocal communication and body language. Our failure to understand it doesn't invalidate its existence. They form lifelong fam

I've always found it deeply unsettling that Mark Zuckerberg simultaneously claims privacy is a thing of the past while going to extreme lengths to protect his own privacy. I do not think he is a man that can be trusted, and I worry abo

I would pay a significant amount of money for a general computing device with the form factor and build quality of an iPhone. Cell phones are amazing tech hamstrung by operating systems designed to drain wallets and collect data. I do not h

I believe it will one day be possible to use AI techniques to communicate directly with these animals. I have often thought about running whale song through a RNN and broadcasting underwater to listen for responses. We don't need to go

I understand what you mean, but that is one of the trade offs when using opinionated frameworks. I've found that a more effective way to achieve the same results as microservices is to deploy the monolith to multiple servers and have e

Just sounds like way more effort than is worthwhile to curate that information and filter out the garbage. I have very limited connectivity and spend minimal time online, twitter is time wasted for me.

You're right about this being the wrong forum. However I used to work in corporate tech and even then I found it to be an inefficient time sink.

it is easier to just stop using twitter.

by diveanon 7y ago
At what point is the tech community going to abandon twitter? From my perspective it is just bots, "influencers", and propaganda. I see very little social utility for using the network, especially when compared to the damage it is

I agree completely. Cruise ship tourism is disgusting. Bring your culture with you to insulate yourself from anything that might make you uncomfortable and pollute at an absurd scale the entire time.

Have you seen the Bahamas lately? Between the cruise ships and massive resorts they have killed the entire ecosystem.

Meanwhile Carnival will not hire you to work on a ship if you have tattoos because they are afraid of the image it will portray. Cruise lines and the people that support them with their wallets are an environmental scourge that perpetuate t

Interesting, is there any research to support this? If CO2 is a major contributor to narcosis wouldn't breathing heavier help alleviate it since you are exhaling more CO2?

I don't think it is racist to say that the racial demographics of an area are changing. Also I think your definition of discrimination is pretty loose.

I don't think whataboutism is a valid argument against antitrust regulations for big tech.

You don't need dual citizenship to leave, it didn't stop me. America has been on a bad path for decades, I left long before Trump was even in the picture.
