    Spot on, my boy. A lot of folks see this as a consumable like music and should be a free commodity. I akin this to free music for download and the death of an industry. A NEW indus…

    Well, the Netflix content is not going to get any less palatable because their business model works.

    Some folks run businesses that succeed, other ran (past tense) start-ups that failed. Unfortunately, the lasting affect will be a net positive, because sometimes you have to just b…

    So basically they saved money on streaming bills, reduced "ghost" numbers from the bottom line, and maintained probably about the same level of equity. What's the problem here?

    After replacing the head unit in my Tacoma, I couldn't live my life w/o the modern amenities with Apple CarPlay, TBH. I drive my wife's Nissan and just so let down on the interface…

    I think GM (and most car manufacturers) miss out on the partnerships with such players like Apple and Google entirely to extend their OS reach and ubiquity. The SYNERGY could be a …

    Way to cast aside the population most likely to buy your EV. I guess they aren't looking at their data.

    Sounds like someone had some money in FTX! After seeing all the social media influencers pushing the product and services, absolutely love this list. The cooperative group think ca…

    philosophy -> math -> computer science -> engineering. That's the traditional hierarchy from an educational perspective on one end to the other, as far as I visualize it. Everythin…

    I don't think they intentionally tried to kill the industry, as it was foreign production didn't have this problem of unions. Also the Japanese during the 70s had a lean six sigma …

    Ya, that keystroke monitoring software that the young lady talked about was rather cringe.

    I'm still trying to find a reliable boots-on-ground in people's face news journalism. Anyone have boots on group stuff?

    What you do with the results is a legal argument after the fact. It's like saying we give you food, but you can't store the poop. Honestly - there is a house of cards just waiting …

    Total newb on the outside looking in, any primers on this stuff?

    Honestly, sounds like a "drain the swamp" type event, to put it bluntly.

    I'll be honest, at this price point I'd just snag a Boosted Board and get on with my life. Way less effort and like 50% cheaper in some configurations. Sorry, no win. They look awk…

    The trend towards 0-configuration VPNs though make it totally compelling to just port your traffic home. I'm not trying to be a fan-boi, but I want ALL my traffic off the network o…

    Not necessarily a bad thing, TBH. Think of it like our Senate in the US. The Senate is a longer view, while the House is the shorter populous public-opinion. Not sure of the Parlia…

    Honestly, I think the US populous really feels the same about this but from the perspective our history. On the other side of the coin, is the UK has been one of longest running al…

    I'd say that the technical books are a bit of a stretch, as most things in tech and entropy of their usefulness like apps over time, break. I might suggest something more above the…

    A bit of extreme ownership in the same vein as Jocko Willink is inspirational. It's not a reward or ego contest, when you have to open up and be humble about leadership and admissi…

    I'd tend to agree with this sentiment, since tin-foil hat pundits rarely understand the nature of research that is in the last decade, let alone the last month. Sort of sad really,…
