"I was in middle school in the late 1990s and I read an article about rising temperatures." I also read about rising temperatures as far back as the 70s. There were decades where the temperate never rose. But this is cherry-pick

It's both. I was part of many conversations starting around ~2005 or so where business owners wanted to convert to a subscription model to prevent piracy. You see it everywhere now.

This has been the goal for every software company for awhile now and is the direct result of rampant piracy in the 90s and early 2000s.

Taxes. Tax laws take so much money from these companies, it's impossible to reach that amount. Like Sweden and Denmark, when a company wants to grow past a certain point, they leave the country and incorporate elsewhere.

This is the wrong approach. The universities will continue to push out more and more expensive degrees (some leaving the degree holder with no job prospects) while taking advantage of federally guaranteed loans. The universities should use

The last time I had to work in an office was my first job out of college almost 17 years ago. I told myself then that I didn't want to do this ever again. The next job I had was remote and I've since either had my own business s

It's around the holidays and a bad economy. Be prepared to be out of work for at least until the new year. I got laid off about 5 years ago 2 weeks before Thanksgiving. It took me until a day before Christmas to finally land a job af

Is anyone surprised? China's main export these days is surveillance technology. I suppose this is better than lethal injection drugs in the 90s.

My kids are not in school yet. But, A friend of mine has a daughter that is very smart and does well academically. She would go ahead of the class in math on her own and the teacher took her aside and told her to 'limit herself'

Writing jobs will be ending in the near future, unless you are famous/well-known. My company does all ad-copy and most of their writing using AI now. We replaced at least 5 jobs in the past year.

Unless it's a hybrid, EVs just aren't that practical yet. You can't travel that far on one charge, it can take over an hour, even on a quick charge, and the infrastructure is lacking. If you have a family with small kids, i

Is this surprising? This is the direct result of raising minimum wage. After few years, the spending power will be decreased again and it will need to be raised again. Workers shouldn't be demanding a minimum wage increase. They sho

Well, with the current interest rates, it's a good way to get screwed.

If you look at what people actually want when they mention a 'four-day' workweek. It's to get paid for 40 hours, but only work 32.

Almost every job on the list requires lots of social interaction. The ones where you are mostly alone all day with your computer aren't as appealing to most women.

Neat. This reminds me of a set of scifi books I read awhile back about alien spaceships we found, but don't know how they actually work. People get paid large sums of money to risk a voyage by essentially pressing random buttons and

Pay transparency only helps the employer in the long-run. It essentially allows every employer to collude on how much they will pay a candidate. It also allows the employer to take most of your negotiating power away. It might work right

"Worse, the EV boom has hobbled Norwegian cities’ efforts to untether themselves from the automobile and enable residents to instead travel by transit or bicycle" So no thought put into the people that physically can't walk o

ChatGPT4 already severely limits what you can do with it. I wonder who will eventually have access to unrestricted AI? I'm guessing the people with the deepest pockets.

I saved my company $50,000/year. A previous consultant (that they were still paying monthly) had written an application that was the backbone of the entire ordering system. If it went down, no work could be done and they needed to ca

It's hard for me to believe anything I read about Cannabis online. The bias is too great. Any study showing something negative and there are countless people responding saying that somehow the study was wrong. However, when we have s

I got out of web dev awhile ago and I have a CS degree. It's mostly mashed-together frameworks now. All of the CS type work is already done for you and after a certain point, it isn't challenging anymore, just tedious and mind-n
