That would apply probably to most famous entrepreneurs. Whatever I have read about Jobs, Musk, Gates and others, they all are very willing to abuse people to achieve their goals.

We have not been farming for 8 billion that long. The scale of what’s happening right now is unprecedented.

That's true. But as far as business and popularity go, TV and smartphones were a huge success. In the end what makes money will be sold without regard for social consequences.

What we consider acceptable changes all the time. A lot of people have conversations with earbuds in. And in the 90s it would have been inconceivable to go out for dinner and have half of the people hacking away on their phones.

The 20Mpbs is definitely very welcome and so far it’s pretty constant. I hope one day we will have symmetric connections everywhere.

There is a lot of luck in figuring out what’s minimum viable. even if you listen closely and deliver what the customers say, there is a good chance they won’t like it when they get it.

“ they are much less flexible than the old spreadsheets.” I have seen that several times while I was a consultant. People run their stuff on spreadsheets. It’s a big mess but things get done . IT comes in and starts producing “professional”

I am not using them so it should be ok for now. Once I start using them it’s almost guaranteed that they will shut down that service.

My parents can write like that (or could when they were not in their 90s yet). School back then put a lot of emphasis on good handwriting. I on the other hand have handwriting that's barely legible after decades of typing on keyboards.

Is this finally the year of the Linux desktop? I tried to go full Linux two years ago but gave up and went back to Mac. Between lots of software not available on Linux and weird problems with screens and audio I couldn’t recommend Linux to

That’s terrible. You should never have to use a touchscreen for basic driving functionality.

That's my prediction. I have fed some extremely tedious enterprise contracts into ChatGPT and got a nice summary and answers for my questions. It wasn't perfect but with some tuning I think this will work really well.

If the system was honest, then the ER would send people to the right place instead of charging them an arm and a leg for basically nothing.

The system should not be that complex and full of traps. I rarely go to a doctor and when I have to go every few years I have no idea how things work and what to avoid.

Good to know! This will help in figuring out when reading the news and they describe everything in tennis courts , school buses and football fields. How do you convert from tennis court to school bus?

Public trust non-profit should rightfully get damaged. A lot of non profits like hospitals, churches or many “charities” are totally profit oriented. The only difference is that they pay the profits to their executives and their business fr

When I moved to the US somebody told me to hold onto money as long as possible when it comes to health care.. Once they have it, they won’t give it back.

I had private insurance in Germany. The big difference is that they have to compete there instead of having a captive audience they have in the US with employer based health insurance. Your employer picks the insurance options that are con

That's lie rewriting a code base from scratch because the current is deemed unmaintainable. Most of the time you end up with the same number, but different problems or it's even worse. In my view Medicare for all would be a viable
