Didn't read the article, but I have been using Gnome and MacOS - M1 MacBook Air for the last 11 months intensively. My verdict is Gnome > MacOs. Reasoning in no particular order : 1. Named and Sorted Virtual Workspaces 2. Activities

What Covid has shown for global nomads like me is that being together is the greatest gift. Contributing by bringing food and having a fun and memorable* time is not thoughtless; it is the way. *in a good way

Irrespective of the book, might we have reach a point where our productivity is so high that we are not fully occupying the operational needs of a 9-5? Thus allowing time for a side-hustle ? I.e., We work salaried for 30+ ours per week and

Well, the state of the Internet has changed fundamentally over the last years where now most traffic is going through a small number of portals. Also, we were not that thoroughly tracked 10 years ago. Fundamentally, I believe that the ad-tr

Hacker surely was exaggerated, ridiculous, and misinformed but it made tech "cool". I believe that Metaverse tech, which is currently at the same stage is isolationistic and enjoyed by a fringe of users. Same as the Internet was s

The book is even worse than the movie, IMHO. Shamelessly plugging my own article [1] But the movie had the potential to be a cultural game-changer in the same way as Hackers and surely The Matrix had to the adoption and "coolness"

Is it really a bubble or is it driven by market demands as more and more applications and use-cases emerge? In the end, a lot of the blockchain infrastructure relies on bitcoin hence it moves in sync. China's real estate market is a b

Yes. Cryptography I only covered in uni, and while it's an interesting domain, its not for me.

I jumped head first into crypto about 18 months ago. You are right, there are a lot of earnest, passionate, and talented people in that space. It does feel like it's 1997 again.

The key strategic objective should be cross-integration and interoperability with the metaverses and secondly the ability to earn money.

Google Maps in Japan is unusable. Many times it directed me which might have been the shortest way but through micro-streets that are really difficult to navigate instead of the more efficient 2-lane.

Everytime I read posts like these it makes me wonder how much of this is really the truth? The notion of you-are-not-enjoying-fb-because-you-are-doing-it-wrong is regularly popping up on those discussions threads and it really feels like or

I had built a geo-spatial build-your-own adventure game. The problem is not in tech. The problem is that people want to be entertained WHERE they are bored not go somewhere to not be bored. The ask for adoption is too high. Unless of course

Quick update on this. While getting fiat into crypto is easy. I failed now for 2 weeks in a row to do the reverse. Binance should be avoided at all cost.
