Facebook, for example, they look the other way as their stupid algos cause young girls to have mental problems and consider suicide. That is pure evil IMO.

That's funny, back when I worked at Bell Labs many years ago, back when we carried briefcases, mine was 314. I remember getting into an argument (friendly) with this guy when he noticed it and told me I should be using 137. We had a bi

Well, one man's snake oil is another man's hobby, or whatever. I am not there with him, but I kind of understand a little. I inherited a collection of rare jazz and classical 78's from my favorite uncle when I was 15 (1973),

A theory with generalization can still have value. In this case, I think those who seek to be in charge do so because they value or appreciate having a certain amount of power. The lack of physical proximity diminishes that feeling. It&#x27

Yes, agree, people who seek to be in charge value the feeling of power. That feeling is diminished without physical proximity. That is actually better expressing what I was trying to get at.

I definitely think there is certain personality traits that lend to the "traditional" manger role in an office. What I think could be interesting over time, if this "new normal" let's call it, of working from home,

Ahhh, sorry if it came off that way. Honestly, I have good friends that are managers. And I think I work for good managers. I just think it is probably not as satisfying being a manger or executive if you don't have people around you t

I think that could be. This is completely anecdotal but I there is a friend of mine, he and I have worked together for probably 20 years on and off in various companies and so forth. He moved up the ranks and became a VP for a big company,

I have a theory about this, I already know some people hate it, and others totally agree. Basically it is that executives, management types, people who worked their whole career to get ahead and get that corner office, they really like walk

Lots of ink will be spilled over this. Heck, here's my 2 cents worth. All this recalls the "corporations are not people" vs. "corporations are people". OK, corporations are organizations made up of people, and share

My view on the problem with politics today is that people have started to view it as sport, not selecting competent people to represent you for law making. I call it Political Face Painting. Like the guy who paints his face the colors of hi

Also, old timey phone lines, like back in the day when you plugged a phone into the wall, that had 48V DC on it. But not 5A, mor3 like 600ma. But in theory, not enough to kill.

oh snap, I should have read up on that. That's interesting though, same as telco.

I agree with a lot of the criticism commented so far, that it could be biased (even unintentionally), how do you really measure innovation and so on. But... just based on my own experiences and gut, I kind of agree. It seems harder to innov

The problem with STIR/SHAKEN in my view, is that it is only a matter of time for scammers to get around it, some are already doing it using banks of cell phones, but I am sure they will find a way. Sometimes, I think we look to history

It's a Steve Jobs Quote. Sorry should have put that there but it's so well known I guess I didn't think to. But I think it is a little of both. To much of the Jobs approach can lead you down errant paths, but if you never ant
