He works for an "industry" that entirely in the schlepping, hording, repackaging and re-schlepping private information for profit. Disincentivizing this niche of marketing and driving companies to invest and build their own effect

Marketing needs to generate leads and sales needs to sell. But the idea that regulating spam calls and online consent transfer is the leads apocalypse is laughable.

Right. Selling is selling. This guy and his mantra for saving the "leads generation industry" is comedy. Or marketing. I'm not sure which.

That's true. Nor has there been one since. But there was a major terror attack after a controversial election where the victor had half-a-million fewer votes than the loser. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_

I am completely convinced that international violence does not now, nor has it ever, caused much depression in US-based 12-year-old girls. Further, I find the notion that it is was an increasing trend from 2010 to 2022 compared with 2001 to

I like your style. I spend something less than two hours per year waiting on my Mac updates and something like 1 hour per year managing my Windows 10 machine. My WSL Ubuntu "instance" takes about 15 minutes per year. So, more than

A couple hours is a lot per month.

In this quote, there is truth: "The simple answer is that "simple" doesn't necessarily mean "easy". In my experience, the simplest decisions are often the hardest because they demand a painful concession to an

Consumers always pay the same. It's just not clear until it's too late.

Agreed. It seems that the A/B testing proves that humans are easily tricked, not that they like hidden fees.

I could be wrong, but I always saw Nvidia's pitch about ray-tracing to be a publisher-targeted message. "You can fire all your lighting artists with RTX."

Well, I don't want any of my vendor-provided to be full of malware. But real-time hacks don't instantly put my ZTA at risk. On premise ZTA is possible.

Some folks will remember a high school debate resolution on water quality and a year of speeches and arguments that centered around the harms of dioxin. It is the doom of man to forget.

Thank you for that reminder. This cut now sounds very deep indeed. It seems not at all the same as trimming against "overhiring" nor about mispredictions of growth, but instead perhaps a more fundamental concern about the health o

You're right that it's normal to feel that way, and it's all true that IT is a trap in some ways. But it's also possible to find joy in tech by moving to a new area for a while. Of course, it feels like another particul

You are right. Intel is terrible for competition. They had to be dragged, along with their SandyBridge, kicking and screaming into the future in order to keep up with AMD for the better part of a decade now.

This. I've owned AMD CPUs before. 386DX-40 and Athlon II and such. But Threadripper was unreal. And seemed like it was going to be the norm for an era of HEDT. But AMD got greedy on the promise of corporate desktop dollars, over-strat

Malware has been accompanied by lots more porn in Google search results in the past quarter. I switched to Duck Duck Go some time ago, but I hadn't required it for extended family. Now I do.
