"Taking pictures of the contents of your freezer" sounds so tedious. It's a solution looking for a problem!

A friend owned farm land in India, he moved to Canada. The property deed was in his name. Someone in India, with fraudulent documents "sold" his land. He only came to know about it when he next visited India. Unfortunately he cou

Trump announces Warsh and this happens. Can't be a coincidence. Incidentally Warsh's father in law is billionaire Ronald Lauder who is trying to get Trump to capture Greenland. Sounds like father-in-law got him the role. https:&#

At one point I was in the top 10 in the Experts Exchange Leaderboard! It sucked as a platform, but I did learn a lot helping answer questions.

Sounds a lot like how the original web was envisioned as a 2 way street, where people were paid for their "attention". Rather we became the product.

I used to work with a brilliant asshole - he had this babyface but would constantly belittle his fellow engineers. Everyone hated him but the CEO loved him since he thought he was their golden ticket to the promised land. At some point he w

No idea what you're talking about! I live on the west coast in the US and the sheer variety of fresh produce would put any supermarket in the UK to shame, even Spain. California produces 40% of the nation's veggies and fruits.

You nailed it - like posting on social media and getting dopamine hits as you get likes and comments. Maybe that's what has got all these vibe coders hooked.

STFU Jensen, why don't you stop making circular deals and build a Fab with the 5 trillion dollars that you have - rather than having TSMC and Samsung make them? Put your money where your mouth is!

Both have garbage content at this point - Coursera was great when they launched, top quality material and university-level instruction. Now it's just bottom of the barrel scraps. YT has tons of quality instruction - hell nowadays I jus

Indian government is big on pronouncements. It will be a garbage app that most likely will not work, considering the historical incompetence of the Indian government's expertise in all things tech. I am pretty certain Apple and Samsung

I disagree - I was a value investor for a number of years from the Ben Graham/Buffett school of thought. But the last 5 years or so - with the ramp up in tech stocks, I know enough people who've done really well with indidividual

Quite a coincidence - last week I was speaking to a parent at my kid's school, he's a scientist and works for a Chinese biotech firm. He told how he has clients in China, who want to change the color of their eye or eliminate de

Great read, unlike technologies of the past that automated away the dangerous/boring/repetitive/soul-sucking jobs, LLM's are an assault on our thinking. Social media already reduced our attention spans to that of goldfis

Postgres needs to be tuned for the workflow and the hardware. It's a travesty to run it on default settings. All it takes is 5 mins to do it. Use pgtune - https://pgtune.leopard.in.ua/ I know the author concludes that

Of all the tech companies, Oracle seems to be making the most and a killing due to Larry's cosy relations with Trump. Last week's announcement that they have a 500 B deal with Open AI, and now this. Elon really fucked up!
