It's not about the protocol. Most people don't care about XMPP, RSS, or any of those things. They have things they want done, like chatting with a friend. They want a solution that delights them in doing that. What delights people

What I find interesting is the things you can't get chips for vs the things that are shipping without issue that use chips. Look at what's happened to the auto industry. Cars, which most of the time have a need rather than being a

Who said something needs to be federated for it to be the metaverse? That's nowhere in the definition. I'd argue that scifi examples (like Ready Player One) show that it can be proprietary. I'm not saying it's good to be

Looking at definitions in dictionaries I don’t see this. What am I missing? Honest question. There are no new species and there is no change to genetic code

What is IQ? It's a measure that involves different categories. Some of those categories have seen decline for decades while others have seen an increase. Digging deeper can highlight more detail. Sadly, little of this is documented in

Hitting on the budget is a good point. Hospitals are often run inefficiently [1]. This leads to a lot of overhead costs. Many procedures in hospitals loose money for hospitals while others make money. Taking care of COVID patients typically

Some context… due to nursing shortages, many places are giving great bonuses and pay rates to new people and temporary help. Those who stay aren’t being compensated the same. This is leading to a lot of people changing jobs. Sometimes to wo
