   This is going to crash and burn. Humans are tribal. We need hierarchy, whether it's defined or not. We need to know where we fit among a collection of people. At work, bureaucracy gets a bad rap because we like to cite the -bad- exampl

   Don't worry about a playable demo. Just make a 45 second sizzle reel. That's enough to convert anyone who -would- pay into paying. A playable demo will max engagement but you won't see more paying conversions from it. Maybe l

    "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it." An EV website selling an EV sales report says the EV market is doing better than everyone else says. Hmmm.

    It's an interesting journey. HTTP 1.0 was released and among its listed "features" was that it was stateless and it didn't need persistent connection. Very soon after, the HTTP 1.1 patch hit which added persistent connec

    Quantum Luddite here. So much of quantum computing is theory, and so much of current crypto is applied. Is it realistic to think the first applied quantum computers could quickly get us to a P=NP solution, rendering all crypto effectively i
