this. 100%. LinkedIn's value is not on resumes too or people looking for jobs. But for Sales - hence why Microsoft paid 26bn. If you're sales person, recruiter etc trying to find people or business. LinkedIn has no competition.

maybe we can be back to closed systems once again. fb (meta) & big tech put their user contributed stuff behind a paywall. yet abuse open systems.

looks like a dope product. sad they're shutting down - which means people losing jobs. some of these things have to be open source from the get go & secure a cloud partnership. for simple dev's like me sticking to the old and

how is their revenue gonna grow in the future when they don't have an edge in their main core product. Batteries are by panasonic. while BYD makes its own batteries. Tesla has no moat. At least Nvidia has CUDA

Good advice -> but is an error or blindness > * Steer away from skills like web development that are clearly getting eaten by LLMs. funny enough all the hyped YC / Bay area startups don't make as much as your typical CRUD we

solar power is nice on a household and retail level. but let's be frank solar will not power industrial machinery needed to change africa's fortunes. hydrocarbons are cheap. solar yeah can be free but the capital needed to say a

I hate FB and Meta properties so much. and they have captured so much of the web. every little thing - requires login. if you don't have an account - you can't see shit. I have accepted that i'm one of those now left behind.

yeah as an economy - you don't want to ever receive IMF money. Lots of African and Caribbean countries will attest to that. IMF money is like having the mafia control your money - the structural adjustments will kill the natural course

18f has(d) really smart people. who gave up higher wages in the private sector to serve the public. then idiots like musk come along. damage from musk n co will be monumental in the years to come.

Apple has become a behemoth in chip design. I'm guessing Qualcomm won't be taxing them anymore since they're making their own modems
