I love technology but having to give money to google and apple should not be a reason with stop people from doing things that CLEARLY don't need technology.
Also that is not what luddite means, like come on even in the bastardization of the term, he is not precisely smashing the ticketing machines, he is just an old guy don't be such a redditor with this senior.
It really depends on the context and the context within the context. I used to manage a medium sized IT firm in Colombia on a hybrid manner.
One of our biggest clients had a sort of high end boutique set of businesses and two bigger businesses that interacted quite more with the regular public.
For the high end boutiques he asked us ONLY and ONLY to use mac's both because down there they are synonym of "prestige and class" and because the (very attractive) women that he hired for most roles were only familiar, or preferred mac's and were consumer's exclusively of apple's walled garden.
We had a bunch of customers like that, the real issue is that if this were on place I would have made it an option for my clients, eventually some things like security or software may move a significant number of users there, specially after the new mac mini, the neo and the ma air become budget options compared to a lot of what microsoft is offering in latam and some parts of Europe.
Hi sorry do you have the code for this I have been delaying to work on something like this but would love to use this as boilerplate.
It is a massive observation of how things look already no more, no less.
I am not the kind of person who thinks AI will replace actors blah blah blah. But I am glad these tools exist, because this video wouldn’t exist without AI.
In no world would I ever have put together a real cast and crew to remake a 15 year old inside joke video for Googlers, but I was able to make it with AI.
BUT IT DID !! and part of the charm is that this involved real people talking, mutual understanding and a shared culture. That world existed it can still exist unless we surrender to the depravity of conformity and comfortability.
Dang are we back to the years of the "Thanks Obama" I guess we truly live at the end of history and have no option but to rehash the classics, don't we ?
I would like to assume that I am a good candidate I usually get calls back from even LinkedIn posts or even indeed, but after well applying to more than two hundred offerings on the who is hiring posts in this place, and only having had been called twice. I can assure you that the ones here usually are not hiring and at best just want a rooster of possible replacements for their current employees. Most notable offender is mixrank, I know more than twenty people that have applied to no avail, even people with more than 22 years of experience and very fancy titles.
It seems like you have misread my comment and think I have a particular thing against any group of people.
That is simply not the intention of the comment, if you read correctly you will note that what I meant is that you need to take care of your own people, something that the United States ACCOMPLISHED from the fifties until before Reagan.
I am just not more native than an Indian or Italian person that just like me came a few decades ago. However to pretend there is no difference between me and someone whose family has been here for decades or centuries... that is dishonest.
Why do you call Xenophobia to prioritize giving good jobs to the local population ? It seems like your reading comprehension as well as your definition of Xenophobia is deeply, deeply flawed. We can have immigration that makes sense. Like what Canada used to have...
We should prioritize those that have been for decades in a country and those whose families have paid taxes for multiple generations, there is absolutely nothing xenophobic about that.
It is kind of disingenuous and dishonest to say that there is no value or meaning on those Americans born in American soil, a nation should prioritize the people that live on it or well at least care for them and make them useful for nation building in the future.
Canada has proven that importing punjabis for almost two decades and ignoring the local people is not effective. So yeah there is a meaningful difference and saying native born in this context allows us to steer the conversation towards taking care towards those in the country already, which is something that neolib governments have not done in the last decades.
I say this as a person that was not born in the country he resides in now, but saying "calling yourself "native born" doesn't mean a thing " is a dishonest way to try to dissuade and delete necessary words that work towards more fruitful conversatons about how to improve th esytems in North America.
I well mm used to like reason a while ago but this is laughable. The article does not show how or explain why or in which manner she affects consumers.
It says that she has been bad for them but there is no proof of this.
Instead it makes quite a comical attempt at trying to vaguely point at the sky and say she is evil or overreaching, but she is not and anyone whoa actually wants a free market can tell you that. I honestly just cannot understand what happened to Reason I checked some more or their side articles and wow the quality has dropped to a level that would make the NYT blush.
sorry what do you mean by saying "Desirability has changed. For example, the number of sports teams have tripled since 1950." ? I am like not American and I do not get how that is related to housing
just amazing
Nick Mullen may disagree
while cheaper in some contexts and somewhat scalable, renewables are nowhere near being as scalable or effective as nuclear, specially as tensions with China rise
ok but lol you are still obviously denying and acting blind to the fact that for many many years, that neither we will nor our lungs will get back, coal had to be ramped up and overused in Germany, Nuclear is safe and effective and until we actually solve the battery problem most of the world should switch to nuclear if we want to survive, Yale has tried to fit the numbers on many occasions but not even them can disagree that nuclear is required
are you able to accept remote interns from Canada ?
pretty sure lol that what snowden has shown reveals you are quite wrong
hahahah I love your username I know this is out of topic but were you part of the og ancapistan group in fb ?
curios honestly, why not and what do you think that actually merits filling a case? I am genuinely interested on hearing the mental gymnastics you do in order to hate consumers
When I was younger, I used to believe that the antiquated image of the hipster or upper-class white Starbucks artist who owns a Mac was a cliché, an invention of the boomers. But as I have had to deal with some creative teams.
I have come to loathe and disdain this kind of person I did not think even existed a decade ago. The sad truth is that a lot of people of a certain demographic will prefer to die before even switching to Windows, let alone Linux or something open. And sadly, a small part of the tech world is the same; they think that their experience with Windows and Android more than a decade ago is reflective of how they work now. Thus, Apple could spit on their faces, and yet they will still like it. Sadly, nothing to do with people who just suck up to modern Apple.
there is a quite clear well and obvious difference between job elimination and job transformation and job change. But the express purpose of creating textile machines was not job elimination, it was output increase, meanwhile AI is not at least in business cases presented as an output increaser.
AI is presented and designed as an employee replacer, plain and simple.
I would think that approving civilian weddings to be drone is far worsebut both those things are far far from his worst (not counting what wikileaks expose) actions
Ecuador got some very big loans from China,so they were force to turn to them "for engineering & development work" specially in oil and energy production, this proved itself disastrous. Corruption increased and the quality of the engineering was insulting as cost cutting from Chinese companies would make most Americans blush.
Lmao this is not marxism this is much much closer to falangism and Catholic Syndicalism. Also answering to your comment "How is it an attack? What would be a more accurate descriptor for someone who appears to subscribe to the idea of an oppressed class and an oppressor class?"
Nobody talked about that or said that they just asked to replicate the model in more industries, and seeing the sorry state of many products, that seems wise.
As someone that escaped a socialist country, I can and will have to ask you to take five minutes to enage with people comments instead of blindly barking.

This is just insultingly dishonest the reality is that Infected, has infected wellbeing way way before politics infected investing.
Larry Fink and his sickly ilk have for too long affected working people.
I am pretty sure that the people he priced out of the housing market feel way different from the way the economist feels about this.
Even non essential things like videogames have seen themselves affected by this dishonest kind of investing. Backlash was just to be expected is insane that they want people to keep silent while everything they love is destroyed by New York financiers.
