I hadn't read about this concept - it's interesting. It was really heart breaking coming up in the hacker culture of the late 80s through the 90s, then seeing the potential of "Don't be evil" Google, when it became

Why is it quite clear to you? You can't just refute people's valid concerns over loss of functionality and deprecating something while advocating a replacement without feature parity by saying 'it's quite clear to me&#x2

This really hurts to think - that so many people are only doing the decent thing because of consequence :(

I struggle also. I love that PA comic! I often tell my wife when we get someone who starts throwing in Rocket League, "you wouldn't do this if you walked down to the park for a pickup game of basketball - nobody would ever play wi

Yeah I think there's an empty marketing driven hype that will die off, but I think we're going to start to see it continue to integrate into peoples real life workflows and competition's going to heat up in delivering more co

I've mentioned this in other comments, but I sat in with my nephews on a Roblox session, then stayed after to check things out on my own. There's an astounding number of adults on that platform saying some of the most horrible thi

I regularly read The Economist and it is not a flawless outlet but it does not and has not attempted to perpetuate any sort of collapse narrative about China. Individual opinion pieces with negative outlooks based on current global market c

My German co-workers have the healthiest relationship with work in the company because it seems they feel empowered to set boundaries. I often wonder if it's a commonality in Germany? It doesn't seem like perfection, they complain

It's like they've started applying that 'value based' pricing bullshit to salaries.

Yeah, it's a bit of a war of attrition.

I agree, it seems like experience varies. I fixate quite thoroughly on things for decent stretches. ADHD is a slight misnomer because I don't have an attention deficit, I have selective intense attention. It appears as a deficit becaus

I wouldn't get stuck on it. Scientology is in LA for the movie stars, Tom Cruise is a movie star that got sucked into Scientology, because they like to recruit movie stars. I wouldn't pass that burden on to the whole city of the O

The advertisements for co-pilot during the Olympics were laughably bad. An attempt at the sentimental and way overplayed trope of people using search/apps interwoven with touching life moments. In this one though, it was all a bunch of

My nephews were into it. I tried to play with them and there were not a ton of real games. Some fun like driving maps people had made just to crash and jump ramps, some shooting gallery things. The thing that concerned me was the amount of

We need more things that connect the world this way, but they only work if you can set aside the cynicism a bit or at least see the good and the bad and enjoy the good when appropriate and try to fix the bad when appropriate. It's been

"...helping us stick it to the PS2..." Cool project, but what an inane concept.

one of my college English professors would say 'reading makes your soul grow big,' something he said he heard from a friends dad. it's stuck with me.

It also just seems unnecessarily hostile as a headline - the US banned/sanctioned them after seemingly valid security concerns. It wasn't like they just said 'hahaha let's knock down Huawei!' Nobody likes to have to

Wouldn't the point be they're an indecent, possibly bad, actor by default since they're a business at all rather than just creating or contributing to protocols/standards to resolve the issues their product relies on to

I was about to say this sounds like our on prem PAM setup which is integrated with our idp - or some mixture of things folks are asking about. Seems like this is something largely solved regardless of how it's being done, but maybe we&

I just don't think I'd be all that happy as a father. I feel like I'm in a constant struggle to claim as much time as I can for things that aren't paid work and sleep that interest me, and a kid has never been on that li

the lack of privacy at a business isn't a problem baked into cash. cash helps solve that problem because I don't need to go to a place of business to use it. It can be exchanged anywhere in reasonable amounts, and I don't hav
