Enough already. The way to determine what kind of manager a person is, is to listen for the context they use. For an extreme hypothetical example, if you hear a manager talk about locking their team in their cells every night, you will know

Hmmm. The ruling had a far greater impact than simply that law. It established that corporations have the same right to free speech that ordinary citizens do as a general principle . What is the result. We now have a situation where a ca

This resonates for me. I do not want my technology tied to some person I consider of despicable character. Would I buy a cell phone, even at a good deal from Putin? No. Corporations have increasingly become political. Thanks, United vs FEC!

I'm an ant. I want to tell you how the chemical trails work. Here is how the pheromones work.... Except. The main point of chemical trails, money or other implementations of the messaging bus of a complex adaptive system is THE COMMUNI

Oh look. Something works. Lets not break it? How crazy is that? I sometimes wonder if what happens is like this: 1. Have problem. Need higher level computer language. 2. Think about problem. 3. Solve problem - 'C' 4. Think about p

There is the smoke part - worth seeing, the shader part - well worth exploring (shaders make you see the world in a different way , then there is the learning part. The site is very interactive so it allows you to see one, do one and maybe

This is really cool thinking. The fundamental concept I got out of it, was fracturing something means that it can fit together again, so there is a constraint. Of course, but cool. Thanks!

<Here is a joke for you> Factory work began when people could use other people as machines. For example, mechanized looms could weave cloth but each cloth weaving machine needed a machine to run it. So use people. Children, real slave

The issue is good, the thought is good. But things happen for reasons. Those reasons are often how systems work. Unless we understand how those complex systems work, we cannot change anything. We end up with cargo cult thinking. You need to

There is no context here for most obvious and important differences between Windows and Linux. Nor does this article note the furor over the forced obsolesce of millions of PC's because of (drum roll) Windows 11. Responsible articles a

The real practical and immediate help would be ground water contamination. How many bad chemicals now permeate the water supplies around farming communities. Can this be used to treat the drinking water supply?

I think it is time that open source => community source. Where community is NOT corporations making tons of money without royalties. And where community is NOT AI. As someone said these are fair uses of Open source. But it would not be f

This is not a conspiracy. This is just corporations acting in their best interest. Exactly the same as MicroSoft acted in their best interest as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsof

In my opinion only, Yubico has done no favors to the Fido by their marketing. A result of trying to make Yubikey synonymous with Fido, it has become unclear what Fido does. And as a result of how they market their keys, decisions Fido key

The course is great. I am a fan. This, not so much. One of the unsung problems of any technology is understanding what you can do with it that you could not do before. Lets say you are a prehistoric person and somehow you find a modern stee

OMG. This is like reading a headline that says "Cigarette Smoking is a source of dissatisfaction" It is not advertising. It is a targeted attempt by other people to persuade you to do something for their benefit, their good. Wi

The question is what do you mean by proximity? Is this only physical proximity?And does it mean that if you isolate people, but they are within 10 feet of each other they are more productive? And do the results change when there is not phys

Complained about and already modified. However, what is "wrong" is that some "person" invented the internet. We live in a time of "followers" and in that paradigm we need some singular person to follow. But it

When driving a car, I often wish I could tag other cars with arrows that mark them as bad drivers. These are the ones who weave in and out over 4 lanes on an interstate highway. When enough tags get the car, they have to pull over and take

This is unfortunate and ultimately wrong. The ultimate stupidity is exemplified by Musk and Bezos, and others of their ilk. To step away from Mastodon because people compare you to them is an error. We need not just Mastodon's but to f

Lets solve the problem. Why should some IP address be on the internet when it is being used for malicious activity. Everyone seems to assume there is no fix for this. Really? The discussion is here is sort of which way do you want to let D

Just take apple to small claims court. If everyone who is scammed by Apple takes them to small claims they will have an incentive to change. Without this they have -0.00000000000 incentive to do anything. Even a class action suit won't

I bought an Apple II and then a SoftCard. I was trying to learn 'C' and there was a compiler on CPM (Borland) but not on the Apple II. It is always hard to go back and understand what it was like before an event. Like the Velvet
