I went to your blog and listened to your post on "Interviewing Without Resources" and it feels like a non sequitur. It felt like you see yourself as a victim. I've been out of work before, but I never saw myself as a victim o

My first job in IT was back in 2005 and I was only making $25k/yr ($30k by the end). That did grow to the point where I can make six figures now though. But it took a lot of experience building. What tracks are available for Amazon war

I stopped shopping at Wal-Mart around 2009 and haven't bought anything of Amazon's website since 2016 (I still bought Whole Foods and Woot for a bit, but I've cut those out too). Newegg is a better place for parts, why use th

My favourite WinAmp skin is still Drone. I still use it on my windows box today. It has a great docked mode. WinAmp doesn't work as well on high-dpi screens though, sadly. It's still a solid media player though.

This is a bad argument. The two aren't comparable. Drinking a lot of alcohol and getting into a car is a choice. The intent doesn't even matter in most countries since it's a "Strict liability" crime. The government

I think Gnutella protocols of the previous generation wouldn't survive due to privacy issues. Much of the world is behind NAT today, which makes P2P difficult without hacks like WebRTC relays. There are a number of distributed applicat

The vast majority of people under 50 who catch CoV2 recovery completely with minimal symptoms. There is a trade-off and people need to be able to evaluate those risk and make those decision individually.

Having a reasonable fear of corruption within the regulation process is not dangerous. How is it dangerous to address real concerns that a number of people at the CDC/WHO are deeply connected to Gavi/Gates and industrial interests

Some things can be done in parallel, yes, but a large chunk of the speed comes from literally skipping some animal testing and ALL long-term longitudinal studies.

Yes, it's likely. Regulators are not as independent from the industry as you think. They've been getting closer and closer over the decades. It's call corruption and it's growing.
