Western nations are generally very good hiding their dirty business out of sight. Exporting pollution to other countries is one thing. You see the same with animal farming. In China you see the bad treatment of animals in the open on mar

when I am on a kiteboarding forum I prefer to see ads that are relevant to kiteboarding and not ads for hand mixers just because I looked at or bought one last week. I also think targeted ads are really bad for society in general. They have

That happened to me too. When I moved to the US a lot of people said they would visit, especially once I was in California. But so far only two of my sisters and my mom have visited in 20 years. This made me in turn very reluctant to visit

I started in the industry in the 90s. Back then most devs were actually interested in computing and motivated to learn. And management was pretty loose. In my first job they basically told "Here is the problem. Come back in a few month

A CTO often will be the referee for making big technical decisions. If that CTO doesn’t have a good bullshit detector then bad decisions will be made.

I personally believe it's easier for a technical person to become reasonably competent at process, cost and other management stuff vs a management person to become reasonably competent at technical things. When I was contractor I saw t

I am pretty disappointed with System76. On my Galago with PopOS suspend doesn’t work properly , the fan sometimes goes into super speed mode overnight, the screen flickers when it wakes up from sleep so I have to reboot. It’s definitely not

"People who can manage and code (architect, etc.) are truly rare." It's not that difficult if you actually can make decisions quickly. It only gets difficult once you are in a bigger company where you have multiple more or le

" A year ago Powell's keynote said the inflation is a supply side problem due to "transitory" issues." This reminds me a lot of the 2008 crisis when Bernanke told us that everything was just fine until banks started

2years is a little optimistic. I wonder how dark it would be out there if you saw it with your own eyes. I would guess it’s pretty dark.

“Your claim seems to be that if you know the right people, you'll be successful. That's just flat-out wrong.” With some of the high money acquisitions where one VC buys another VC company I definitely feel that there are cases whe

“Design Patterns” showed to me that there is a way to build software in a systematic way. “Only the paranoid survive” taught me the need to constantly staying up to date.

“ I do think that comparing Adobe to Microsoft in general is reasonable though. They are both software companies that make terrible software and have little incentive to improve because of how entrenched they are in the market. I've al

“No amount of VC money can fix a bad company that doesn’t solve a burning problem for customers.” From my observation VC money gives companies the opportunity to recover from mistakes (“pivot”) which is something companies without deep pock

In any other developed country there are some cost controls on health care. Without that universal health care will never work.

At least they could try instead of impeaching Trump and investigating Jan 6. They should push some version of Medicare for all.

“nobody really gives a shit about you.” This realization helped me a lot with social anxiety. For a long time I believed that everybody was watching and judging me. This made it very hard to go out and do things. It was a relief to be able

Brave browser works for me.

Same here. I use Brave browser and rarely see ads anywhere. I am always shocked when I see other people’s web experience . It’s as unbearable as US network TV with commercials every ten minutes.

I always tell people that I could probably "architect" the infrastructure of my whole company (Fortune 500) in a few days if you ignored the little pesky implementation details.
