I was thinking the same about this whole post. At the end of the day it sounds like it is more aligned with addiction based on the sugar side of the drink. Big Gulp probably have the same ravaging followers too it's just not as on-tren

Right so you look for reviewers based on the same opinion as yours? Seems like a really crappy way to find new things no?

I can go and buy however many Yelp reviews I need right now, good or bad for as little as $5/review. Dig deeper and you realize Yelp uses the same tactics as the mafia in Italy to extort store owners and use heavy handed tactics. Revie

Do you not feel that the streaming options are up to scratch? There's so many now, from science doc specific (Nebula and Curiosity stream - I was eager to start with these but inevitably was let down with these 'speciality options

Bingo! I imagine this is what Facebook's mantra of 'Move Fast and Break Shit' has matured into over the years.

> just inject the normal patients with placebos, and keep more of the vaccines for your paying clients. I LOL'd in horror at this, wouldn't surprise me if somewhere this has happened.

Patched up software with increasing technical debt is how a business should be run, haven't you heard? Oh and in the mean time get more sales, create immediate displeasure and load up the outsourced customer support with angry clients.

Exactly, this is the point that I am trying to figure out. Moderators control the conversation and that's it. So what is the difference between CNBC talking heads pumping up a stock VS subredditors who are, as you might imagine, everyd

Everything and everyone gets slapped with the term 'tech'. Airbnb is considered a tech company, Casper the mattress company is considered a tech company or at least they act like tech companies. But listings and mattresses have be

Smells like Theranos 2.0 to me. The issue with tech people is that they are so far outside of the real-world thought process and feelings. Full of grandiose ideas that fall short of delivering on the expectation and PR hype.

Shareholder value above all else is what is important. Unfortunately, VC money needs to be returned to their shareholders too. It's a ponzi scheme and somebodies next big idea will be the catalyst for additional money and so on and so

This is the benefits of an FAQ or open documentation platform. The treasure trough of organic keyword combinations and semantic linking that Google does makes for wonderful traffic. In most cases these are long-tail searches which evidently

That's like saying a personal baggie of cocaine is for lunch therefore you should not confiscate it. If it's on the list of no-entry then it's on there for a reason.

True but I meant the newspapers more than people. Personally Covid will ride the storm for most of these consequences up until it can longer do so but I imagine there would be some new deals and processes in place by then. Well I hope at le

Yup, the UK right now is blaming everyone but themselves (or at least the papers are). There was fury about Belgian authorities taking away sandwiches etc from UK lorry drivers. I also read that someone in the UK got really annoyed that the

I agree on the Cloud app infrastructure but again it's more or less the 'aesthetics/experience' of it that has made it so widespread. From the way the UK has been handling basic aspects of IT such as the spreadsheet that

But tablets and touch screens were out way before Apple released anything. Apple makes things pretty therefore it creates mass adoption. Aesthetics is not a tech advancement. A remote workforce uses Skype, a laptop and the internet. As far

Actually you are right there, we do not need new radical ideas. We need creative solutions to the existing infrastructure's we have put in place. Come to think of it maybe we haven't stagnated and in fact are a little overzealous
