That was my first thought as well. Yahoo's internal culture was already scrambled beyond real repair (at least not in any timeframe the board would have likely accepted) and any acquisition they made they would have bolloxed.

LQ was nice, but generally seemed too inside its own head, I stuck with Monocle as a subscription and would pick up LQ spot issues whenever the topic piqued my interest.

If its like Androids speech to text capabilities, it was likely just getting progressively worse anyway.

" A bunch of trash sites we learn to ignore in our search results?" Exactly. But when/if that stack shifts the signal to noise ratio at escape velocity into a toilet, behaviors will change. I'm just curious as to what t

I cant foresee a scenario where an endlessly growing mass of AI-generated noise, stacked upon itself, will be useful to anyone. Humans will invariably find a less contentious path (maybe its seeking out more localized options, maybe its ba

"I might be willing to pay google if there was more transparency about how much of my money actually goes to creators vs how much of it goes to google" That would be a major step forward, akin to old Bandcamp. But that isn't

"but when the idea of paying for youtube comes along, who directly profit shares with small creators you adore, people fall over backwards in disgust." Probably a combination of misgivings: 1. Google cant keep a product/servi

Same (and bonus, it operates from the perspective of an Arts non-profit, so I have an art studio for myself that doubles as an office, but I can still use the co-working space at will, 24-7): https://www.localcolorsj.org/

"WeWork is not tech. It was never tech. It will never be tech. It shouldn't have ever traded at tech multiples or valuations." TBH, most tech shouldnt be traded at tech multiples of valuations.

PE could be "fixed" with one simple change, make them fiduciaries all the way down. (I mean, it would likely also nuke the PE domain, but I consider that a feature not a bug). PE is a pox that focuses on short-term, debt-riddled 3

I've been an acquaintance of Rob since the VA/Andover acquisition, and he's seriously one of the most affable people I've ever met in the industry. Him and Hemos were a great pair of folks to rub elbows with. I still h

I played the original game this was based on, and loved it. One of the best games ever made IMHO. I'm kinda glad this exists and has the kind of long-tail life most properties SHOULD be allowed to have.

Thanks William F Schmuckly. Enoch Powell called, and wants his underpants back.

Thanks for the clown-shoe polemic. I left the GOP because of folks like you. Don't bother replying as I suspect I could map out the quality in advance.

Good to hear. The fact that in 2005 you had an app that required seemingly petabytes of memory to operate, and put on machines barely powerful enough to play minesweeper, was in and of itself a series of bad decisions...but the app itself,

Early on (15+ years ago) I spent a few weeks there on contract and I noticed they used Java EVERYWHERE, and not always well. They had a CS app named after a key Star Wars character that was in all likelihood a breach of the Geneva Conventio

Unity didn't just screw the proverbial pooch, but dry humped the whole kennel. Something (someone) had to pay for it.

That's how I interpreted it. Everyone seems to want the advantages of the FOSS model for general benefit, but want firms to have their advantages at the same time, and not acknowledge the inherent adversarial aspect of that.

The volume of fairly famous or otherwise well-established musicians in rock, funk, and even jazz with a poor or non-existent ability to read or write music notation is not insignificant. Then there are all the non-western scale musicians wh
