    Lets just break the lynx users for once, and see who complains. Change it to 81. Small enough to be invisible to most users, but when it breaks, someone will come up and shout. Bet…

    I don't post often or ever so don't remember, you can't change the title to be more reflective of what it is? A shorter version may be > A Vermont pharmacy chain's AI implementatio…

    Have seen this so many times. And like you, having spent decades in tech, I know the cycle well. Some engineers know the problem today, but the directors will arrive at the same co…

    > no more skiing, endless smoke inhalation from wildfires, etc. I wonder what our ancestors did, lets say 500 years back. Did they have wildfires? Skiing? I get the point about hum…

    There appears to have been a cease and desist issued by Corgi to Papermark: https://x.com/danielmerja/status/2070264877017350492?s=46 They want the tweet alleging copy to be delete…

    No I don't have a thesis. About pricing, Netflix is constantly raising its prices and making more and more money (their stock is broken for last few months only) because they learn…

    Begging? Component price goes up, they increase their prices. Where's the begging? Just like US had oil but as the world prices went up, US oil prices went up. No one will sell it …

    No me, well me too but not that bad, but my wife. Sometimes in the 200x era on green card, she will always get called for secondary inspection. Oh you entered this airport on this …

    Let me see what I can do. Thanks ! May take me a month since I am sure I can polish it a lot more, not on how to create a deck but how to prep.

    I am late 50s and I still find talks overwhelming. What has worked though is 1. Recordings. Go into zoom, and give a talk with recording on. Listen to yourself, just once per recor…

    I think due to a variety of reasons EU and US are on a road to divorce. EU will be wise to make that happen on their terms, but they do not seem to be ready. - Monopolies and relat…

    Last comment and I will see myself out. I meant my other productivity drops because I am not a natural presenter so even though I am rehearsing / editing for 2 hours a day, the pre…

    lol. I hate presentations. I like to run a tight ship. But that does not shine, so they made me do presentations every quarter. If you do some work, you must "take" credit. It is k…
