    But if everyone acted like Stallman then solutions that have gone away such as public payphones would come back due to their requirement. He doesn't give a crap if a random phone r…

    Really? I'd think a human being would be more likely to recognize they'd crossed a boundary with another human, step back, and address the issue with some reflection? If apologizin…

    I guess you could have two people per presentation, one person who confirms whether to slide in the generated slide or maybe regenerate. And then of course, eventually that's just …

    Wow, I'm staggered, thanks for sharing I was under the impression that often times chip manufacture at the top of the lines failed to be manufactured perfectly to spec and those wi…

    Sounds like you should build a competitor if that's literally all it is... I suspect there's quite a few other things you have to consider when you're managing trillions of dollars…

    I think it's a fair point to say that many people do not feel as if they're the ones responsible even if they're direct contributors.

    A lot of folk justify it to themselves. I've heard "well, you have to change things from the inside" before. And a lot of people have been there for a while, it wasn't always... qu…

    I think this is the crux of why, when used as an enhancement to solo productivity, you'll have a pretty strict upper bound on productivity gains given that it takes experienced eng…

    The thing is, if they were uploading your messages, then they'd want to do something with the data. And humans aren't great at keeping secrets. So, if the claim is that there's a b…

    Yea, when I'm on the move I rarely use more than texting and the camera. So I got a Nokia flip phone, and I'll see how it is. Worst comes to worst it'll be 90 bucks lost and I'll m…
