I'm not really a fan. But I must say, he asked for a protest, not for them to storm the Capital. He probably wanted to stir it up, but never thought it would go that far. I have not seen any explicit tweets where he asked for that.

You have a private conversation with the team manager in some office and explain that bonuses are on the line. And then it gets done.

Good to know. Id experiment before a full shift.

This is why I'm saying I'm close to just switching to Linux, which would be my next move. Not going to reward Microsoft with a new version purchase for making their OS a pain in the ass. Nowhere in the purchase documentation&#x2

I have no issue with it as an option. I have an issue with Microsoft prodding me to make it my default. OneDrive is permanently listed ahead of my local files in Office for instance and you need to really put effort into disabling it from

Do you actually believe deep down inside that this is a parallel comparison.

That's clever. Now a Microsoft employee will read this and fix that little inconvenient bug ;) Agree with Apple except that we learned it constantly streams your activity to their servers now (things like when you open an app). Back to

Infuriating on so many levels: 1) creating the largest honeypot imaginable/single point of attack. 2) Potential trust issues as companies put proprietary data on servers that are not theirs 3) People storing deeply personal and sensiti

I thought I'd get away with a common sense interpretation of what I'm getting at, but I should have known better.

I run programs that cannot afford for windows to tell me I need to shut my computer down especially within certain hours of the day. I'm usually ok but they should set the automatic updates to default but give users some sort of optio

I wonder how much more they will prod me to move all my files to their servers/cloud. And then how many more times per week they will force me to shut down my computer and update it. Its almost like they are moving to PC as a service

They have a bot issue thats currently out of control.

Points to another issue that there is no active effort to reduce old laws so they just pile up.

My favorite is the NY LLC publishing requirement. To start a business you must publish that you started a business for 6 consecutive weeks which costs thousands. Wonder what back door corrupt deal was made on that one.

Mean is not the same as median. Billionaires drag the mean average up but not the median average. Most people in that area are not earning almost 1 million even though it is pricey.

These social media sites know their platforms are ~50% troll accounts assigned for manipulation to move policy and commercial goals (and many nations, advertising firms, and political activist groups, are engaged - not just France). But th

Anyone with an iphone and a youtube account is now a “journalist” and frankly theyre not far off in credibility from corporate. Thats where the bar is at. So the datapoints have shifted

Yes I see this often. There are lots of ways to be technically true but misleading at the same time. Not giving the whole story, focusing on a convenient micro-argument about the subject at hand, etc.

The problem is just as much people who pay for it if you side with their politics. NY Times subscriptions are at all time highs with their cash flow stream being something like 95% liberal ideology payers. They are very much aware of who

My favorite are the "fact check websites" like rebranding is going to restore faith. Trust is built slowly and carefully and with your track record.

Wait what? You think The Atlantic leans right? floren - got it, whoosh right over my head. Read that too fast.

Good point, I do see this but it seems to be from the anti-censorship side on the right. It seems the right is focused on the YouTube algos and the left is out for Facebook influence basically since the 2016 election. In all, these media

YouTube has just as much of a monopoly in its category if not more than Facebook (with similar influence over society) yet we dont see the level of regular attacks (I'm not here to defend either, I'm a critic, but just pointing th

Google also loves to give all your data to 3rd parties like Google Pay. I have never had more spam.

Stocks do beat gold over long stretches of time except in times of crisis (obviously). There are 10 year ranges where gold does beat the market. Then it goes to sleep or down for 10 years at a time (obviously this destroys its compounding e
