I can only suggest you grow vegetables or do something tangible as your side project. Something involving your hands with real results. Do that for awhile. It will soon cause you to find something if that's a thing you want to pursue.

Fascinating. On what possible grounds can this help an investigation? The collateral damage for this would have to be huge if it became normalised and routine.

Are you sure they are ignoring your emails? From their perspective, is there enough value for them to respond? Is there too much friction involved if they do respond? Can they respond? Are you sure? If your answer is a rapid "of cour

The talking hockey puck in the corner is becoming even more problematic. One week? Why the deadline? At all? They do seem like they're in a hurry. For something that is meant to help and apparently put smiles on our faces it does seem

Since when is a program allowed to decide to delete my information on its own accord? If not me, who authorised this? Not me. Really that kind of threat of deleting documents is completely unacceptable. It implies that I, the user, don&#x27

I'd have thought putting a linux kernel, web server, web client all in a power switch just to turn said power on/off is overkill, but hey, people are different. For me, a hammock beats an office chair any day.

Redundant calculation isn’t necessarily a bad thing by itself. That redundancy is often buying insurance against data loss (ECC?) and resiliency. A giant wordpress site isn’t necessarily more power efficient or even more secure than a distr

Mostly a way of preventing everything happening all at once. The paperwork is a nightmare otherwise. The real question around time I'd like an answer to: what if time has two or dimensions of its own? What then?

An alternative perspective is that crypto mining should be required to only use main-grid surplus or their own renewable energy sources. Then make it hideously expensive for them to not use renewables. This way the bitcoin / cryptos wo

Is that good or bad? Do you want the likes of adafruit / sparkfun and similar to exist or do you just want to buy everything direct from the parts suppliers at the source? Neither answer is perfect. If you choose direct from the suppli

Can't speak for the other aspects, but the capacitors issue was/is definitely a real thing. I know plenty of techs who spent weeks removing equipment due to faulty capacitors. Some of that equipment was worth having component swap

Triplebyte are about interviewing and being middleman. This requires a certain churn rate. So imagine that now you're employed but didn't get it from triplebyte, one day you get called into the bosses office: "We've noti

No mention about what happens when China lets Iran purchase oil using their Chia crypto. Interesting omission.

"[...] a place for civil discussion but if you get kicked out [...]' That "but" is the dividing line. As soon as you cross it you've left civil discussion. (And become the asshole who needs to be ejected because o

Perhaps hiring should measure people's ability to tolerate opposing views? It can't be good to work with people who can't stay civil in the face of disagreements. Surely that is a sign of a lack of emotional intelligence?

Most political discussions fall apart due to people's inability to tolerate dissenting views. The inability to tolerate disagreement in a civil manner is likely just one cause. The amygdala hijack kicks in and suddenly people are froth

Companies are using salary secrecy to benefit themselves and to lower salaries/competition/transparency. This is clear evidence.

Get qualified. Whatever is required. Maybe a lot. Maybe a little. This doesn't necessarily imply a degree. I needed a "working with children" clearance and few other certs. Alternative pathway: you could volunteer. Or start w

Correct. But what is the point of even discussing this? I'm not actually allowed to disagree am I? I must agree with the groupthink. I'm at -1 so what is the point of further discussion? I didn't post anything inappropria

Blockchain is RECORD of ownership. It is a database with the stipulation it isn't so easy to mess up. Nothing I wrote even asserts the legal system has no power. I'm not an evangelist for blockchain but even I can see a benefit.

Present in court. The descendant as proxy isn’t a new concept. Failing to update the blockchain means the sale didn't go through. You can't assert ownership via a blockchain then believe failing to update the blockchain is accepta

I don't agree. The article misunderstands a potentially useful aspect of blockchains, physical assets and the legal system. The blockchain is a linked list of immutable data. But this doesn't mean the legal system is prevented fro

I think this is a good idea. If successful, it will create a stable platform for 8 bit 6502 people to target their creations and talk about as a community. Those involved are making compromises as time goes on as the ideas hit reality. From

When was freenode's power taken from the people? Who are "the people" anyway? Who took away their power? What exactly was freenode's power anyway? Other than chat. So many questions.

Its an interesting take, but I feel like this product and landing page has issues in its current form. Website isn’t clear on what the product is actually for. It is apparently intended to be used near a computer. Yet it appears to use cr20

Cheap taxis are something I've never experienced. I'd even say taxis are hideously expensive especially for actual trips over significant distance and/or on a regular basis. The better way to deal with shift work is to be ult

Ah! Now I understand why we need self-driving cars. The driver's real purpose is become a passenger so they can watch advertisements.

You say "us". If you have a partner, what are the implications if you separate? Are you still financially stable after that?
