There's not, but I do know what's on my table: a career doing things I find reasonably stimulating that provides me more material comfort than I know what to do with. I am doubtful these hallway conversations I keep hearing about could provide me anything else that I would want, and I'm definitely not willing to give up my freedom and flexibility just to find out.

Thanks for the tip, but I was doing good work remotely ten years before covid and will continue to do so ten years after.

> general issue that many older people with well-established lives don't sympathize with unfortunately

Many young adults have friends.

> As much as others can deny, work is source of most people's friendships, relationships, mentorships, and other social interactions.

I will deny it. Citation or speak for yourself.

Hardly just the art world. That he’s Robert Del Naja (aka 3D from Massive Attack) has been semi-public knowledge for a long time.

My assumption has been that they want your iPhone itself to be your key.

“Addiction By Design” by Natasha Dow Schüll is a good book to answer this question.

How will you differentiate it from existing apps like Paprika or Mela?

My Eufy one has no ability to connect to the internet but does a pretty good job of cleaning my floors.

Which is why, despite my distaste for DALL-E and its ilk, I’m not at all moved by the anguish over it rendering artists obsolete.

Stuff like this never had any artistic value in the first place, so it makes perfect sense to me that a bot would create it rather than a person.

> When was it ever like that for artists?

For centuries. Everything you just said about abstract art encompasses the entire reason it was important and prompted backlash that continues to this day.

Fundamental misunderstanding of what art is.

More than 10% of tradespeople are addicted to painkillers. I suspect your weekend warrior projects do not qualify you to understand why.

The median annual wage for electricians was $60,040 in May 2021. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $37,020, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $99,800.

> ~10 years ago, when I got my first job, I was in the minority, pretty much the only person cynical about big companies' claims how "people are our most important resource"

Tell that to Johnny Paycheck.

I briefly moved to Keychain from 1Password when they went Electron, but the experience of actually managing credentials is so bad in comparison that the experiment lasted less than three months.

At minimum, Apple needs to make Keychain a standalone app instead of a half-baked settings dialog for it to even be considered an option imo.

I would encourage anyone curious to look into the beta for Readwise’s new RSS/RIL service, appropriately just called Reader.

The logical leap you’re making to draw a distinction between “a fanatic” and “one close to fanaticism” is far greater than the one they’re making to use them interchangeably.

Why?

Me and my friends are not interested in finding a new bar just because of some stranger’s abstract belief that we’re the ones who should leave when a loudmouth Nazi shows up.

How else would the folks at Eglin AFB get their Reddit fix? ;)

Perhaps you thought me under the impression Russia hasn’t had a state security service since the USSR collapsed, but obviously I know that. The point is that one can better cloak the warmed over Cold War paranoia they’re peddling under the guise of knowing what they’re talking about if they avoid warmed over Cold War terminology.

The KGB has not existed for decades. If you’re going to make inflammatory statements, you should make sure you’re talking about the correct things.

What is your opinion on FOSS?

Not at all hard to imagine why the US stopped humoring a manic weirdo playing spy — complete with secret codenames and passphrases — and larping as a revolutionary provisional government once he started attacking embassies.

> For the record, Vox has never told me that my coverage of something must be 'hard-hitting'

Perhaps Vox might be worth something if they did, Kelsey.

> if you make the law actually hostile for large companies both the general public and corporations are worse off

What an overly broad thing to say!

I suspect if they wanted your advice they would have asked for it.

Just take a scroll through the InstagramReality subreddit.
