This is misleading when you dig into the data. For starters every state and nation does not record deaths and causes of death consistently, so there's a lot of apples and oranges comparisons going on. Second, in the US…
All private companies do that. Ever heard of Virgin? It's Branson's MO. Create a company with a high public profile that's private. Hype it up and sell it based on the value of it's perception. Watch it go out of…
This is awesome. Now do stock options and every other derivative.
I'll do you one better. The Market Makers are Vanguard, Blackrock and State Street which are majority shareholders of 80% of the SP500. They control the price using swarms of HFT bots, most likely running Blackrock's…
US debt to GDP ratio is >120%. By IMF definition that's an economic death spiral. The death spiral becomes irreversible by 2028 because by then the interest on the loans for all that money we've been printing for…

I go through this every time I have to ask for a refund and tell a business I just want a refund so we can part ways instead of filing complaints with the Better Business Bureau and with the FTC.
This. Salesforce, is a great example of this. I can't tell you the number of companies that exist just building a simple application that does the one thing customers bought these bloated app suites to do that they…
Been dealing with this since my 40s. And good luck hiding it on your resume, most application forms these days require dates and even addresses. I am also discriminated against based on location. Some companies won't…
On this note, the invention of the printing press led to The Reformation with the first printing of the Bible, which up until that point had been duplicated by monks by hand, and The Word controlled and interpreted by…
I would say instead it's a PEOPLE problem, not a technology problem. To quote Neil Postman, politics are downstream from technology, because the technology (medium) controls the message. Just look at BigTech interfering…
Technically I've been unemployed for 9 years. When I say I can't get a job to save my life, I mean that literally. Today I'm looking for a full time job as a manager of software product design and development or…
I created an online fan forum for The X-Files back in 1993 on the Delphi vax-based network as the web was starting to emerge. I created ASCII art of logos and stuff since it was a text-based menu-driven system. Newscorp…
Right there with you. In the process of extracting myself from all things MS. Even when they do something right they have to keep changing it until it's crap.
I'm okay with you calling it a dumb take. Try "unsophisticated" to pacify the sensitive, or "mentally underdeveloped," if it gets you grief.

They don't care about safety they care about lock in to their ecosystem. I'm not into ANY of these ecosystems. I don't want MSFT installing Edge ever, or OneDrive, or having Phone sync software on my PC that links my…

I'm getting sick of a right-click "copy" pop up appearing as I try to scroll pages these infinite scroll pages on my touchscreen, too.
US debt to GDP ratio is greater than 120%. The IMF defines that as an economic death spiral. By 2028 the loan payments we make on all that debt/money we printed will only cover the interest, no longer the principal, and…
They've been playing games with the numbers but it's true, we're looking at a depression not a recession as it's going to last much longer. US debt t GDP ratio > 120% which by IMF definition means the US is in an…
There was a book written a few years ago and I wish I could remember the name of it, but it was about the effect of devices on children. The takeaway is they don't learn to read people's expressions and get easily…
In short, if they are a company and are not 100% secure and they say they are then they are committing fraud. The person doing the testing is providing the evidence for a legal case and no amount of legal threats change…
