Depends on how you define it. If you spend pretty much all waking hours dedicated to some task you don't care about entirely to avoid dire consequences I'd say you are close enough. People might still want to use a different word

Think of it like a football channel, a place to contain such things. Amazon is just not interested in organizing it properly. You should have a look what river of fresh nonsense is uploaded to YouTube. The difference is that amazon has you

They don't have to tell you anything. Just unbox and show what they got. I just purchased a bicycle chain cleaning device. It was absurdly cheap. The plastic was extruded poorly, it was hard to assemble, it was not entirely obvious how

I use to wire houses. (Here all wires go in tubes.) The absurdity of not adding a few empty tubes for later use endlessly amazed me. I think I've done only one house where the owner wanted to be able to put speakers in every corner of

One mistake people make is to preferably close questions immediately. One should in stead leave them all open until a situation arrises where your actions should [unavoidably] depend on "knowing" the answer. Let's say, just i

So be it? An additional thought I had was that new tools can have awesome discoverability in a webdirectory of tutorials. Normally the more exotic the creature the better it hides. We could be publishing a lot of things that could be great

I notice that people with poor lookup table hardware need to think a lot more. The public part of the table is mostly populated with their thoughts. To quote a friend of mine: If I can't just trust the status quo I would have to questi

In the days of AJAX a friend asked mockingly, why xml? why JSON? Why not HTML? We didn't really have an answer. He wrote a few lines of js grabbing a div from a different page. The "parsing" was a split()[1] on a formatted co

What it should look like: Have a bunch of checkboxes at the top, one for each buzzword, each technology and all other things a 12 year old wouldn't be familiar with. You check which you think to be familiar with and all other things un

The terrifying reality is that there is no one to delegate to. If we would magically spawn the theoretically ideal candidate who plans to do everything exactly the way you want it done then there is zero chance you will vote for them. This

For election to work you would have to read [all of] the [not legally binding] election programs, ponder the offerings and make up your own mind. You won't find a single person who does this. Apparently everyone votes by a different me

I think the creator of a work should be allowed to unpublish it but only if they own it entirely. If other parties own it they should be required to make the work available without interruption or barriers and at a reasonable price. If a re

A museum here plays an inaudible voice recording on a 30 min loop with the speaker persistently building on previous context. It was like browsing an unfamiliar code base.

You can have as many iterations as it takes, you need only one to work. Thousands or millions is fine. If you keep track of what was tried and how hard everything is a gain.

Do others sing along? Do they sing the songs you've written? I think we lost a lot there. I can't even begin to imagine it. Thankfully singing happy birthday is mandatory - the fight isn't over! People also still have convers

For me it maps elegantly on previous happenings. When the radio came people almost instantly stopped singing and playing instruments. Many might not be aware of it but for thousands of years singing was a normal expression of a good mood an

People always say that when new technology comes along. Usually the best tech doesn't win. In fact, if you think you can build a company just by having a better offer it's better not to bother with it. There is to much else involv

They can't figure out how to put videos on the video tab, pictures with pictures, maps with maps. Will the AI product ever become a real Google service? You know, like the product search everyone loves so much?
