Or they could just pave the roads?

I imagine IBM quantum computing will go to same route. IBM has become a husk of its former self — mostly marketing, and generally 5-10 years behind the cutting edge.

I’m shocked people believe such a simple story … they didn’t mistakenly pay 30x the value of the asset based on a legal misunderstanding … it’s money laundering.

It’s no surprise that companies with broken cultures that value “butt in seats” struggled to adapt during the shift to remote work during pandemic. But that’s a problem with the companies, not remote work.

I’m the same. Reading subtitles takes my attention almost entirely away from the scene, and after switching back and forth between subtitles and the scenes rapidly a few times, all sense of immersion is lost. It’s a distraction and chore.

If all you TRULY want is a place to share and host an article then that is a problem solved a million times over (including by Medium). My guess is you also want a built-in audience without a paywall.

This is completely unsubstantiated but I think Americans watch so much television that they learn the majority of their behaviors from actors and producers who exaggerate everything for the screen.

What got me into coding as a kid was modding games that I was already playing. Changing variables in GORILLA.BAS so they threw bananas at a faster speed. Messing with sprite files in Command and Conquer so I could design my own infantrymen.

Nope. Cheap, outsourced labor has been available for decades. If what you’re saying was true, the shift would have already happened. The reality is that the vast majority of outsourced labor is significantly lower quality than the onshore t

I keep hearing this talking point brought up but I just don’t get it. If you’re making more on unemployment, you’re poor and need money for essentials. It’s unlikely you’re investing in stocks. Also, unemployment doesn’t last forever (mine

Agreed. HN cheers in the name of disruption and competition when rideshare apps gouge taxi drivers and when delivery apps gouge restaurants and couriers. But when it’s developers being gouged …

Tipping is absolutely not expected for pickups. Delivery apps shamelessly try to get you to do so, but it is definitely not normal.

I see. Sorry for my snark. My understanding was that they feel money has a deeply corrupting influence on relationships, and credits the strength of their parents marriage with the fact that they both made a clear effort to avoid taking abo

It’s not because you’re older or because of fads, it’s because you don’t message anyone outside of the US.

You don’t use your own email on Craigslist, it’s obfuscated.

How is this a failure? They are evolving with the times. Longform served their users with article recommendations for nearly 12 years, but times have changed. Services like Instapaper, Pocket, etc. are no longer popular, and so they’re focu

Moving your family every 2-4 years sounds awful. And unless you are moving to a lower COL area each time, you’re reducing your purchasing power with each move because the prices for all the other houses went up too.
