   Bingo. We need standard communication protocols where the identity is separated from what is shared and so the platform is only a UI skin and users can easily swap. I.e. SMS for social media. Enforcement is an issue but only matters for mar

   I don't really have the pulse of programmers but I'd imagine this is precisely the sort of thing they'd prefer doing over hard work. It may change, but there is still quite a bit of DIY culture in programming for better and w

   Very good points. I need a find an OS independent WM. My mix of BetterTouchTools, Alfred, Karabiner for Mac versus some AutoHotkey and PowerToys for Windows is quite the pain and, as you say, liable to break at any update. Any suggestions?

   I think you are right for a lot of tasks. However, some tasks, arguably more and more for a modern developer, unfortunately involve switching between many different applications and browser tabs. A decently fast programmer will have to spen

   That’s interesting, I’ll check it out. I often tell folks that without concerts I am going on without my religion. And the best concerts are those where the most attendees most actively participate. This human need for group belonging will

    Bingo bingo bingo. This is a major reason why the App Store’s rules are so insidious. What companies are we just not seeing because of this rule? This rule practically forces B2C software companies to have free ad-supported Apps. Pernicious

    Thank you. Do these people not realize that centrist basically means stable and successful? Probably just sad sacks who want things to go sour. And I want to be clear, in the U.S. Dems are a center-left party and GOP is a (increasingly) far

    Airbnb absolutely increases home prices. Many cities did decide to allow it, but only after owners broke local zoning intent, visitors became used to Airbnb availability, and cities became used to increased taxes. As with many recent change

    The gatekeepers typically care about others and have some kind of historical perspective, otherwise why didn’t they go into some other field. If social media has exposed anything, it’s that we are almost all selfish twats, definitely includ

    Something you are unfortunately missing is that extracting user requirements is much harder when you are both remote. Asking someone to share their screen is far more disarming than asking if you can watch them complete a task in person. As

    I can help you out here: "During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar wi
