My local tech community has a slack where the grievance of low-effort sloppypasta was being discussed, and one of them made this and a whole bunch of feedback looping ensued. I was…

I'm local to the area of the company. Peeps in the community here have said they issue ridiculous old or underpowered laptops for many positions and that many if not all of those 3…

Yes, yes you should.

The vast majority of businesses are not going to fit any of this playbook. The problem is this playbook covers a niche. If you don't want to play that niche game, that's totally fi…

We started our company because I could fund it out of pocket for less than the cost of coffee or lunch for a week, and grow at whatever pace made sense. Even if we only occupy 0.1%…

I do two things for this. One, I have a separate phone line that I largely ignore, and I give this as my main contact line for people or businesses that I have no dire need to talk…

"People" in this instance is a handful of special edge cases compared to the majority of computer users, even if we're only looking at people that build their own computer, or hell…

I don't buy it. The US is bringing their cases to protect their interests and the interests of their economies. It's not about territory control, it's about industry control. I don…

This opens up my mind to a lot of possibilities. Some poignant conversation starters for your local lunch group: - What kind of investment returns did the stock of those bankrupted…

You are describing turn-key solutions. They are services that provide complete end-to-end consumption methods, like Netflix. In the scenarios of content consumption (be it articles…

Actually, the harsh reality is that we do not yet have a digital content ecosystem that makes consuming any digital media easy for the vast majority of the population (US or otherw…

The generalized popular programming industry, largely in web, desktop, or mobile high level programming. Not an entirely useful generalization, but one that is common enough to hab…

I very much agree, but I was only using startup culture in the context of that term's use in the article. If we want to get more general than that, you are very correct that startu…

Not in the slightest. Hacker spaces are an extension of just about every enthusiasts club ever, and if anything startup culture is a product of THOSE. Nobody sat down and said "you…

Alternatively, just get rid of the phone system entirely. Transitional points are starting to exist, and if we can do more things that interop without involving telecoms and are de…

Well, it /is/ "security" in their sense of the word. It isn't very /good/ security or very /effective/ but it's goal is indeed what it is claiming. They don't desire totalitarianis…

You can be into all those things AND be an introvert. It's about how you connect with people or not. I'm not saying the study is true or anything, just that it could be. I find it …

I agree. The reason game guides make money at all is because they have shops like Gamestop pushing those guides with every purchase. Not many a gamer is going to pay even $5 for a …

Off the top of my head: any time you want to run a computational thing in another thread without doing something like an entire celery process or somesuch. It's not about being THE…

I'm agreeing with you that "criminal" was too strong a word. I edited a couple words in to see if that could be made more clear. (I also agreed from the get-go that the immigration…

I'm willing to concede the term "criminal" in exchange for "unlawful entrant" in this instance. Using "criminal" is actually a bit more than what was deserved for describing both h…

As usual with dramatizations of poor policy where the treatment of people is concerned: response on both sides was over the top. Obviously immigration reform is needed. Obviously i…
