Although higher prices make larger mining operations more enticing and profitable.

It seems at least once per day there is an active leaf blower in my neighborhood vicinity. Same goes for my colleagues.

Noise cancellation is great for, well, cancelling their noise.

That alone is a huge global market and it’s barely started.

I think a best case scenario is something like the Lightning Network grows in scale and popularity and becomes a defacto standard for online and mobile purchases.

But the web UI, combined with Google AMP, made it unusable.

I’ve gone back to the app but with iOS screen time restrictions.

Get a job at one of Apple's competitors, and make those competing products better.

Apple beats competitors because their product lineup is simpler and their products don't generally suck as much.

Look at Microsoft's attempt at ARM notebooks a few years ago compared to Apple's now. The difference is staggering.

If we want to see people move away from Apple, they need worthy competitors.

As a consumer I have no idea what’s going on with some areas of Google’s products. It’s a major turn off.

Don’t get hung up on some big new MMORPG game you’ve got in your head. Just start by making Pong, then Space Invaders, then Pac-Man. Then make a dozen small prototypes of your own ideas, each time based on what you’ve learned.

You get practical development experience but more importantly, you learn that iterating and experimenting is where good ideas come from and where bad ideas are discarded.

Unless your community is paid for by some benefactor, you usually run out of money convincing people to pay for it, or end up copying the structure of Facebook/Pinterest/Twitter/Instagram etc.

While the film doesn't focus on any particular person, it covers society at large. It portrays the build-up of a modern, global society and eventually shows shots of ancient Egypt ruins. We are no different. One too all of this will be gone.

Then as a user, I can inspect what apps are sending and how frequently. I should be able to block requests or set myself as anonymous. Or allow apps for certain amounts of time etc.

Timed sprints exist not for the benefits of managers, but for the benefit of developers. They exist so that the development team has a shield against managers making last-minute decisions and changing priorities without notice.

If the focus and discussion is regularly on short term deadlines, then the developers are not driving the process, the managers are. It means that sprints are seen as a management methodology and not a development methodology. And then everyone has a hard time.

Managers who think this way know they’re not “allowed” to make mid-sprint changes so instead they focus on the end/deadline.

The managers should be spending their energy supporting the team and figuring out what the priorities are for the next sprint(s). If they’re spending their mental energy on deadlines then they’re doing everyone involved a disservice.

Exploration of the solar system could be the greatest human endeavour of the next hundred or thousand years. Both manned and unmanned missions will be needed.

My Australian mobile phone receives maybe one spam call per year. It’s my single phone and I give out the number to various businesses and people.

“The Last Of Us” does a great job imo. Each fight offers different strategies and paths. And the enemies are usually there for a reason with some explanation in the AI interactions.
