You weren't worried about it going bankrupt when it was losing millions of dollars a day and running in the red for years on end?

If the idea of federated Twitter was so good and so important why did everyone seemingly only get interested in it right now? Charitably it would seem that this is just the topic du jour and "top of mind" for many people due to re

It’s not practical. Crashing cars is expensive and you need consistent data. You cannot use a different dummy on each test and expect to make sense of the data. The best we could do is come up with an acceptable model and use that for all&#

I was watching an interview with Tom Englund of Evergrey and they were discussing the creative process. In this context the question was around how he and his band churns out so many high quality albums. His answer was that his goal is to w

I don’t see how this is making products like Sun IDM, Oracle Waveset, or SailPoint IdentityIQ any more modern. Or replacing any of the capabilities. While it is true that many of these platforms do consume tabular batch data, that is not th

That's hyperbolic and is really letting the legislature off the hook for their poor performance. Many of the things that people are upset about, say abortion rights, could have easily been addressed over the past few decades via legisl

Correct. If you make it easier to amend in order to assail your current grievance, it won’t be long before someone else gets into power in order to assail their current grievance, which may be free speech, or worse.

When I was 14 I thought playing an RPG with lots of text was as good as, if not better, than reading a book.

It’s also associated with dropping out of college because of your hopeless WoW addiction.

This is a microcosm of poor performance management. You need an effective way to get rid of bad hires, clear out dead wood, and retain your top contributors.

Considering how rough renters are on property there is never an incentive to make things nicer than they have to be. High density housing is never going to be a good candidate for solar anyway. Not enough surface area.

Which is exactly my point. It’s not cheap or easy to put your money where your mouth is. Talk is cheap. In the end, is $60k too much to ask to save the planet? People should stop being pretenders. If they really care about the climate, do s

I think it will be organic. I’ve severely curtailed my discretionary spending. The restaurants suck now, bad service and low quality food for a high price. Bars are barely open during adult hours, many being closed at 8 or 9pm. Theaters, co

Jeffrey Mishlove has interviewed quite a few people directly involved with remote viewing programs and other parapsychological topics. Worth a listen if you are intrigued by that sort of thing.

The fact that people turn to sophistry in defense of valid criticisms is evidence enough that people were mislead. Never mind whether it was intentional or out of ignorance. 95% effective at what? Preventing death? Preventing serious diseas

I didn’t realize that the concept of absolute or universal truths was so boring that it needed an “ancient aliens” style rebrand.

Bernardo Kastrup took Sabine Hossenfelder to task over this and to say that she did not like it would be an understatement.

I agree. OP has done themself no favors by kicking the can down the road. It was cruel to let them carry on this long without consequences. There is no need to heap on another cruelty. The fact that OP even has to wonder about this is depre

You act as if they don’t make cheap and relatively accessible phones. They do. iphone se is a perfectly good phone that can be bought new for $400. Sure it’s not at the absolute bottom end of the market, but it is fairly accessible when you

All they need is their Steve Ballmer "developers developers developers" moment. Nobody wants this garbage. Nobody wants to "work in the metaverse". They don't even want to visit. People do not even like turning on t

These people are not interested in creating a better world and a better life for everyone. They are interested in making the vast majority of people their personal slaves and digital sharecroppers. It’s horrible.

#3 was warned about long ago. Look at the debates with Ross Perot in them. He predicted precisely what has happened. He essentially said if we have free trade with the rest of the world and they make $2 an hour and we make $10 an hour then

The data in OP shows that your personal experience is quite different than the public school students of Michigan. That's great for you, but not the normal experience of most students.

You’re an outlier. That’s great. Most people are not scoring that high without a lot of effort, and a basic public school education, regardless of the quality, is not going to get them there. They will need additional resources within the h

It has a lot to do with culture and expectations. And what you are willing to put your children through. One of my good friends is from Korea and told me about how awful it was to go to school all day, then be off for an hour or two, then g

I feel that this may be closer to the mark than many will care to admit. The moralistic tone of OP leads me to believe that they are blind to how arbitrary their concept of “right” and “wrong” are. Killing a puppy for fun is wrong. Not “fix

It reeks of “product management”. It’s getting managed out of relevancy.
