If I had a bar I'd ban phones and call it The No Bars Bar. Alt: The Bar Without Bars

The US Government posted the near complete archive of NAZI membership online. And it was made searchable by Die Zeit.

Your individual choice will not make systemic changes.

Because they're enthusiastic engineers. Not marketing people.

"It could be a spectacular historical discovery: a skeleton has been discovered in a church in Maastricht that may belong to the famous French musketeer d'Artagnan. For centuries, the whereabouts of his remains have been a mystery.

Charles de Batz de Castelmore was Count of Artagnan and therefore used that name. He was the right-hand man of King Louis XIV, the longest-reigning king (from 1643 to 1715) in the history of European monarchies.

D'Artagnan was the leader of the musketeers: an elite military corps that served as the personal bodyguard of the French king. He was killed in 1673 during the siege of Maastricht, when the French army attempted to capture the city. He was likely hit in the throat or chest by a musket ball."

You seem to ignore all the mountains of evidence that sense of responsibility drops in groups. The larger the group, the bigger the drop. This is not news, or non-sense.

Honda did not invent ICE cars. They do not need to invent EVs. I reckon they will wait until the dust settles and then leapfrog all the rest. As they have done so in the past.

Of course, I drive a Honda that I will be buried in. So I may be biased.

You live in the HackerNews of the real world. Not at all representative for the rest of the world. ;-)

Code to me has always been a solution. And I have always found problem definition the more interesting side of that coin. Luckily, it seems problem definition has become more important with Claude et al.

Because the effects on our children is popping up simultaneously. Because globalization. Because every teenager is influenced by the likes of Andrew Tate and series like Adolescence. Either directly or indirectly.

This is what we wanted. We wanted a connected world. Be careful what you wish for.

I wish Bezos would buy GRRM. I am sure it would result in top quality final books to Sing of Ice and Fire.

Open Sourcing software has _nothing_ to do with 'gratis'. Can't believe this still needs repeating in 2026.

We sysadmins have been seeing this for decades with docker, k8s and cloud adoption. None of the engineers I work with are able to debug a simple networking issue or compile a trivial piece of c code.

Otoh: didn't Socrates say the same about writing? It rots the brain?

This is why I have been replacing my product owner and product manager with AI. For the life of them they have no clue about their product that I am building. AI is giving me far better problem definitions based on my observations on best practises and customer input than any PO ever did.
