This article isn't worth the time spent reading it. About the only thing they got right is the fact that large business has become delusional, and being delusional is not just a di…

Its not the deception that's the problem, its the false advertising and fraud. In the last two years (shortly after GPT) I've got a list of about 400 of these outfits. Indeed and L…

You are disregarding the ongoing trend of replacing IT workers with AI.

You can make more as a fast food worker, and don't have to sweat when all the IT systems go down because they chose to replace you with AI.

The economy is not fine. It is like a race car, insofar as the problem scope is one of lagging indicators and hysteresis, (i.e. speed and fuel), but not as you elaborate. Starting …

The economy in tech is dramatically bad. The national unemployment was 1.5% in August. The tech sector was %7.0?. The tech sector has hiring freezes starting in late October thru t…

If this were any other market, you might have a point but this is tech. The Tech sector is not correlated with changes in interest rates. It has a long history of not being correla…

> I believe the discussion of the "fix" for Healthcare as who has insurance and who doesn't is wrong ... I agree. I'd go so far as to say its evil, and the banality of evil that re…

Well some of the more discerning people have been waiting for the shoe to drop in sheltered asset classes since the major red flags during the pandemic started occurring. A large n…

I'm not OP, but I consider your response quite reasonable. I found your reply informative and specific, though I took a more fundamental approach in my response to OP, focusing on …

> the law must determine what is fair as society changes over time This has been the ideal that has been put forth generally quite a bit, but it also almost always neglects the str…

Sounds like what you have works for you, seems like it would be quite brittle to me though. > Idk why bash scripting is a "lost art" I suspect that has to do with the fact that wri…

Technically you shouldn't, but some people don't consider this a loss of credibility as a whole. The moment Ubuntu started deceptively poisoning their repo with pre-packaged fixup …

It is by will alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Sapho that thoughts acquire speed, the lips become stained, the stains become a warning...

Recessions typically are pullbacks of the market sector for 1-2 years, but not necessarily slowdowns in growth, though there is no globally accepted definition for a recession. Dep…

You are comparing apples to oranges. Unemployment calculations from data recorded during that time have since changed. The same unemployment numbers are not the same mathematical o…

> Eventually ... Yes, but the problems start in severe economic crises. Specifically, when those several months turn into years. Many filters during the hiring process, prior to in…

I disagree with your conclusion, you have several flawed premises. The market has been slowly shrinking into fewer and fewer hands over time, which is why it has become more compet…

I second this, though its a bit unclear to any non-domain expert in systems or systems organization. Defining the problem and identifying constraints is always the hardest part and…

Well the descent of the community into delusion is an expected result from the lack of effective moderation and the echo chamber that has malign subversion campaigns running throug…

Not the best comic, this is very misleading albeit factual in only about 50% of its comic. Importantly, it ignores the drivers of technology in the first place, instead blaming the…

> What about this? Sounds like it may "silence" people who flag stuff that [those in power] think should not be flagged. In practice, when you write clear consistent community rule…

Bulk data collection is not costly to collect, its cents per person; if that. Javascript running on the visitors endpoint is not costly at all (the customer pays for it). Bulk data…
