Translation: IBM Chief doesn't feel like learning how to develop or properly leverage remote employees. He says it right there in the article: "I don't understand how to do all that remotely." Disappointing that these le

Could you suggest a few unimportant, high energy consumption industries you had in mind? The IEA suggests the following: * Chemical manufacturers * Steelmaking * Paper mills * Refineries Industrial crypto mining is not in good company here.

It's a smart idea. Who is going to have sympathy for crypto miners? As a citizen, would you rather a Watt of power go to driving an industrial facility, heating a home, or making a Shibacoin? For most it's a very easy calculus.

Geist's take is much less extreme than the one you are presenting. He suggests that the bill will be further watered down through policy consultation around 2025-26. You may want to: 1) Read your sources 2) Avoid opening arguments wit

Calling it now: we are going to see more and more accessibility features and difficulty adjusters in games going forward. Not only are the players getting older, but so are the developers who are passionate about making games. From a mark

Who would have ever expected the entertainment is something people of all ages enjoy, right? The media still has this sense of breathless amazement on the topic that is hard to understand.

Construction techniques are vital, but a civil engineer is employed to conduct the correct QA/QC on those techniques. This doesn't devalue the effort of the work crew, but it does recognize you need accredited professionals at cer

How is 20 vs. 28 vs. 40 an order of magnitude change? This phrase is usually reserved for changes in base-10 order: e.g. 2 vs 20 vs 200 are order of magnitude changes.

Perhaps in 30 years we will shed a tear for the poor ATMs that now have no home. :)

If the hypothesis is revised to "increasing automation does not automatically reduce employment in the short term" that is feasible from the 1970-1990 dataset as you've noted. I suggest that the ATM comparison is inadequate

Later figures showed that this increase was short lived. Vox describes the initial flaws in Schmidt's reasoning here: https://www.vox.com/2017/5/8/15584268/eric-schmidt-alphabet-... (this is also th

Had a hard time listening to this -- they start by rubbishing "Propublica people" and alluding to because they are funded by "the left" that somehow their journalism is intrinsically less worthy. Their primary point is t

You're right, sharing anonymous opinions from a government post is on exactly on the same level as disclosing military classified secrets. Give me a break.

The biggest joke has to be all the "analysts" who chimed in with neutral or buy ratings as recently as yesterday. I wonder what, if any, consequences fall their way other than the obvious professional embarrassment of a missed cal

Thereby exposing the real gap: many humans are lazy at heart and are perfectly happy to use their efficient mind to explain without proof. It's no surprise that tools like ChatGPT attract us.

Also curious about this, "wild" is not a word I would have used for the checkpoints they set up. They've been doing it for nearly 40 years and yet our civil liberties are still intact. As an observer of the process, they def

Reliable, but biased. The survey was run on Bloomberg Terminal owners (and some portion from their online news subscribers).

I can absolutely see that. My earlier impression of Udacity was that they were amazing, so it was jarring to encounter the actual content. Still well founded material, but definitely showing wear.

True, but... product managers also like to research and try things. There have been a few packages out there that I wanted my team to try, but I gave up on because I wasn't able to play with it first. I also then proceeded to share m

In my area, at least, they appear to have latched on to enterprise training spend. The courses provided were buggy and years out of date, but I imagine it made for amazing margins on content they didn't need do anything further with b

However, Stoll was largely correct: the web is not Nirvana. Some structures persisted (e.g. Wikipedia) to help round off data correctness, albeit imperfectly, but his central concerns are just as valid today as they were in 1995. As a user

Did you not see his two spreadsheets labelled "JUST AN ESTIMATE" that clearly show he is right? I would love to know the thought process behind his decision to make this post.

I'm nominally in the customer segment, but I bounced off the front page. The sample text (Michael & Dwight) needs to be improved to sell the product. Highly repetitive components ("He is", "great") make it look

Two things: 1. The default recommendation may likely be "use gas stoves with a good ventilation solution" rather than "throw out all gas stoves" 2. A change does not need to occur immediately. It's not unreasonable

Indeed. Reached the same conclusion. It's ironic that the individual decries the journal editors and authors for corrupt motives while they, as a blog poster, get to shelter behind a shroud of anonymity. My first reaction after their

I'm struggling to get past OP's central conceit here: they want to share views that are generally considered unreasonable, but then are surprised when others in turn may behave in an unreasonable way towards them. It really seems
