While I don’t disagree, the problem I often have with medical professionals is that they tend to be arrogant and unable to take in new information to adapt and evolve their frameworks. I was married to a doctor, helped them study for board

The core issue is that most Americans aren't civically engaged. They don't take the effort to track what's happening within their government which then means that they don't know and are unable to hold their elected offi

While I'm interested to see how they adapt Neuromancer to the screen, I get a sense that the author of the article never read the book nor took the time to understand Neuromancer's place in culture.

To start, there is a lot of misinformation out there and the NDAs that surround data center construction and operation don't help. People will cite water consumption as a huge problem when modern hyperscalers use substantially less wat

Also worth noting that several studies have shown pay differentials to be highly correlated with women being less likely to negotiate compensation or ask for less. https://www.nber.org/digest/apr13/do-women-avoid-s

Or it might simply be that there is a lot of unreported or unacknowledged mistreatment of men. I recall reading a study about harassment in the restaurant industry. Both genders were harassed but harassment towards men was largely ignored i

I saw more than one video about datacenter noise that were clearly crypto mining. There are some questionable designs leveraging shipping containers and what sound like a lot of 120mm fans.

As a lifetime Mac user, I will say that the last few updates to MacOS have made me start looking towards linux. Ignoring the many sins of liquid glass, Disk utility is almost nonfunctional, as are many of the built-in utilities. Sure I can

I'm with you here. Mac user since my father brought home a Mac SE, even briefly worked for Apple. Every new version of Mac OS is worse. Basic things like Finder or Disk Utility are barely usable to say nothing of the poor UX decisions.

The assumption everyone seems to have is that the customer is the average consumer purchasing items and services on Amazon’s website. That hasn’t been true in more than a decade. The real customer are the third party sellers and those using

IMO, Isaacson isn't the most objective biographer and his sourcing tends to be pretty awful. I don't trust anything he's written about contemporary people and I'm still disappointed that the access Steve Jobs gave him wa

Steve Jobs was certainly flawed and his personal relationships extremely complicated, but I would recommend reading the memoir his daughter wrote, Small Fry as it provides a more firsthand, nuanced perspective into Jobs as a father and part

I have a lot of criticisms on The Verge and stopped reading it a long time ago, but one of my favorite moments from them was when Jean-Louis Gassée trolled Nilay Patel and showed just how hypocritical he is and how fragile his ego was.

My experience was sadly quite the opposite. When I moved to my current city two decades ago, I started attending a run club because I wanted to train for my first marathon and figured it would be a great opportunity to meet new people. Unfo

Imagine Sisyphus happy seems like the appropriate response. I don't think it's a matter of setting goals based on what you can do alone, life is lonely enough as it it. I think it's more a matter of accepting that life is a s

Authenticity is behaving in a way that is true to yourself. In this case, putting stickers on a laptop or otherwise decorating it is a form of art and self expression. It’s not complicated or controversial. I do it because it can be creativ

Agreed. Tariffs should be used like a scalpel, precise and targeting very specific things to encourage development or even the playing field. The tariffs that have been implemented so far are more like a sledge hammer, used to extort and in

Where is collectivism being tried again? Sure there are a number of Democratic Socialists and other progressives winning elections and driving changes but everything I’ve seen policy-wise has been directly targeted areas where unchecked cap

Vision Pro has been out for almost 2 years now, so I'm not surprised. It's also worth noting that the lenses and engineering decisions around the optics can have way more influence on perceived image quality than just the specs wo

Not everyone has that luxury due to commitments and priorities and not everyone enjoys or even thrives living in the city so I'm not sure what value this adds. I always find it interesting how smug people who live in the city and/

Billionaires are out of touch because their money, their power, and their social circle insulates them from the challenges everyday people experience. Their goals are to find ways to protect and expand their wealth and their power. You don’

I largely stopped buying from Amazon after receiving three counterfeit or defective products in one month. The only reason I buy from them now is due to a particularly low sale price or things I can’t easily source elsewhere. Otherwise, if

Given the number of organizations that have labeled what’s happening in Gaza as a genocide I think it’s pretty clear what the objective is and it’s reprehensible that the United States continues to support it the way it does.

I have kids and so a good part of maintaining and curating a library of books,CDs, movies, and TV shows is also that it helps them begin to appreciate the values and lessons contained within them. What I choose to consume and/or keep o
